It’s definitely a celebration of me figuring it out. It just feels good to be able to make music again and share it with the world. There are a lot of things that I’m still working on, but I think this album is really me celebrating the fact that I’m back.

Belly also shared he was a different artist than before the hiatus and that his changes were reflected in his music. The new album also has music videos for each single, inspired by his love of movies.
