The album was released in 2002 by Sony Music and Crossover Records, marking Ray Charles's return to a sound closer to R&B and soul after years of forays into country and pop.
Produced by Charles himself along with John Burk, the record includes collaborations with top session musicians and was recorded in studios in Los Angeles and New York.
Although it did not achieve the massive success of his earlier works, the album was well received by specialized critics and shows Charles in full vocal form, with songs blending romantic ballads and danceable rhythms.
