The album features sumptuous string arrangements, many performed by Duncan's parents, retired classical musicians, adding a personal touch to the compositions. Tracks like "Lucky Today" and "Triste Clair de Lune" showcase his ability to blend romanticism with a hint of wistfulness, creating an immersive listening experience.
