Background

About works on the album, Claudio revealed that "we really had no idea where we'd end up...we were just creating because it felt good".[2] The album was created in summer 2020 and was put together with the intention "to bring a "sense of peace"".[3] The singer exclusively worked with singer-songwriter Nasri Atweh and producer Kaveh Rastegar on the album. She described the work with the former as "easy because I was with him".[4] According to Claudio, the goal is "to put people in their feelings".[5] The album was preceded by the single "Warm December" which was released on November 20, 2020. The song was described as "closer to her brand of R&B, with an even more intimate and torchy vibe".[6]

Critical reception

Trishna Rikhy of V thought the album was "a culmination of the holiday spirit—festivity, cheers, love and merriment—in Claudio’s signature sultry, evocative sound.[4] Kartlon Jahmal at HowNewHipHop highlighted the appearance of the Weeknd and Alicia Keys, "who both steal the song on their respective tracks".[2]
