This album was recorded in secrecy and depicts an act which portrays public mourning.
Iggy’s legacy is expressed in more of an oblique fashion throughout this album, with the aid of hypnotic and bass-battering grooves. The album reasserts Iggy’s facility with many simple and suggestive phrases. Post pop depression is part of the result of Iggy’s mourning for his lifetime friend and career savior. The entire album is filled with a tinge of melancholy.
Listeners can also catch more than one moments of reflection being silently made. Yet it is not only immersed in the music of sorrow. There are even creepy pickup lines like “I’m gonna break into your heart/ I’m gonna crawl under your skin”. While paying attention to the album, you can see how Iggy has managed to include his sentiments while he was on the bumpy roller coaster trip to success.
