It boasts sounds covering an eclectic set of genres, from the electric "Sugar-Pop" of the intro track to the Afrocentric beats of "RiïiDE", to the prep-school "Club-House" vibes of "YÄH", to the avant-garde auditory masterpiece that is "GöRiLLA". Väega stated about the songs, "A lot of these were made to mourn and to heal, and they do excel at that. I'm extremely proud of them. They show how dark it's been, how far we've come, and how bright the future can be." Genre World
