There is a real world music vibe to much of this album. The main focus in terms of arrangement is Tiki Black’s voice and piano. Other instruments are added here and there to fill out the arrangements. There’s a good amount of variety here and some songs are extremely good. This is probably not for everyone, the vocal deliveries are on key, but perhaps a bit unusual for some listeners, but it’s quite good stuff. There are a few songs here that I really like and nothing I don’t like at all.

Vocals start this and then piano joins. The cut works out like that for a time. Eventually other instruments join, but this is essentially a piano and voice type of arrangement with some other sounds augmenting. It does get pretty powerful before it’s over, though.
