This album was composed of all-new material and was a forward step in her development as an artist, which was a great expansion in range from her previous effort. However, the much older song "Closer" was included as a bonus track after a gap of silence of 1:15 that occurred between the last two tracks. Guests included Clyde Carson from the Team and Dwele, while Mumia Abu-Jamal appeared in an interviewed voice-over on "Fly Away".
