The album represents a gumbo of Moye's influences: hip hop, rock, funk and soul. Seventeen Magazine said "Her songs are in touch with her musical roots, yet are totally organic and fresh."[1] BET stated the album is an "amalgamation of collective throwback with a contemporary edge."[2] The album was also a part of Victoria Secret's "Love Rocks LIFE IS PINK" campaign.[3] To promote the album, Moye appeared on DL Hughley's Weekends at the D.L. and Emeril Lagasse's Emeril Live.

Notable tracks include "Ain't It a Shame" featuring Layzie Bone of Bone thugs & Harmony and "Alone". The track "Girlfriend" appeared in an episode of MTV's The Hills.[4] "Alone" peaked at number 93 on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.[5]

gollark: Mostly I do actually have to think before typing things, so typing speed isn't a *terrible* concern.
gollark: I can type 100WPM or so on my laptop's keyboard, and really slowly on my phone even with the autospellcorrection.
gollark: I really just want a cuboid with a 5"-diagonal display with a sensibly low-resolution rectangular LCD screen (or a smaller one with a keyboard or something, like BlackBerry's keyone stuff), enough thickness to fit in a few days of battery life, swappable batteries (maybe even two), GNU/Linux support, headphone jacks and other important IO (maybe a USB-C and USB-A port), and µSD card support.
gollark: And notches, weird curvey screens you can't put in cases easily, overlarge screens, sort of thing.
gollark: I want one to replace my ailing existing phone (it runs an outdated Android version with no hope of support, the battery's degraded horribly and is not easily replaceable, and earlier today it randomly rebooted), but they're not being produced now or something.
