Despite this, Acord performs synthesizers and production on the album, and appears in the music video for its first single "The Realest".

The album showcases the group's experimental approach to their signature metalcore-contemporary R&B hybrid sound, exploring elements of nu metal, pop, hip hop and funk.

Issues began recording the album on January 23, 2015, and discussed a hopefulness in an exciting change in sound.

Praising the album, Michelle Beck for Revival Media said, "Headspace is a mish-mash masterpiece of genres and one huge step forward in Issues' development as a band.

Suddenly the band are accessible while maintaining heavy tendencies thanks to two strong personalities on the mics.
