Collaborations with the likes of FKA twigs on "Judge Me (Interlude)" and Jamie xx on "Smoke" bring diverse textures to the album, showcasing Headie One's versatility. The introspective "Know Me" and the anthemic "SOLDIERS" (featuring Sampha) highlight his lyrical depth and ability to blend raw energy with melodic sensibilities.
