This is a collaboration by Jain and filmmaker Natalie Johns (La Blogoteque), featuring compositions and arrangements from Nico Muhly Two Boys, Björk.

Performers taking part include Nadia Sirota, Caleb Burhans and Rob Moose, along with a guest appearance by guitarist Larry Campbell of The Levon Helm band.

The album's nine tracks were authored by Jain and arranged by Muhly, with the exception of a cover of Dire Straits' "Why Worry".

Film director Johns has described this project like so: "No one has ever made a record like this, and in this way, it was a collaboration between Essie, Nico and myself, and the result is innovative, modern and honest."

The album was mixed by Bob Clearmountain (Bruce Springsteen, The Rolling Stones) and mastered by Bernie Grundman (Michael Jackson, Carole King).
