One of the things to expect on the new album is commentary on his father, South African poet Keorapetse Kgositsile who died earlier this year at the age of 79.

According to Pitchfork, Earl released a statement saying:

Me and my dad had a relationship thats not uncommon for people to have with their fathers, which is a non-perfect one, Earl said. Talking to him is symbolic and non-symbolic, but its literally closure for my childhood. Not getting to have that moment left me to figure out a lot with my damn self.
