To record the album, she invited a string quartet led by Tatsuo Nishie, a violinist and concert-master of the New Japan Philharmonic.
[6][4] Mike Hobart of Financial Times stated that the album "enmeshes her piano with a string quartet assembled by violinist Tatsuo Nishie, concertmaster of New Japan Philharmonic, and focuses on her pandemic experiences.
Overall, the blend of influences remains largely untouched and she still explodes into life with the energy of rock and roll.
But the flamboyance is tempered to fit the contours of Nishie's exemplary string quartet and her performance sustains inner rhythmic strength.
That's to say that her keys merge with a standard string quartet... to play a highly melodic four-part suite with complex arrangements, as well as five additional tracks.
