Background

In 2010, Smith began the recording sessions for her fourth album. In December 2010, Smith confirmed in an interview, that she will be doing a jazz album. Smith stated, "I’m kind of closing the book on that part of me for a second, so I can embrace other things that I really want to do. I’m working on a jazz record that’s more straight-ahead kind of jazz. I’m working to finish this synthy '80s throwback dance record...".^[1]
