The first single, "Madonna," is a driving, strutting, slinky house tune, while the second single, "The Local," released as a second single, scatters addictive keyboards over a shuffling beat and soul-stirring The eight tracks that flow together, including "The Local," a soul-stirring, multi-harmony vocal romp over a shuffle beat, combine Eden's smooth, yet present vocals with exciting and diverse dance music tracks created in collaboration with the aforementioned talents, and range from introspective R&B to freaky, freaky, and soulful.
