Producer Meshell Ndegeocello designed the follow-up to 2012 Grammy-nominated release Let It Burn as a showcase for Foster's voice. She explains: "It's such a singular, powerful instrument, and she has such mastery of it. She can turn it on, belt it out and bring you to your knees, all in an instant.

"I wanted this album to highlight that, and also communicate her vibe, giving a fuller picture of her artistry and ability. I think we've made something that compliments and holds its own alongside the power of her voice."
