The album features a mix of original compositions and covers, showcasing Nyro’s distinctive blend of pop, soul and jazz influences. Notably, the track “Broken Rainbow” was previously featured in the Academy Award-winning documentary of the same name, which addressed the relocation of the Navajo people.
