It spans approximately 51 minutes and showcases signature blend of pop-rock songwriting with lush orchestration. The record is generally classified as Pop/Rock with strong Soft Rock and Orchestral Pop influences. Holmes himself described the project as “film-rock” – each song was treated like a mini-movie with elaborate arrangements, sound effects and dialogue.
