"I don't think she has a ceiling," Mustard, who signed Mai to 10 Summers in 2016, toldBillboard back in July. "I refer to her as 'The GOAT,' because people have yet to see what she can do and how talented she is. I think with me and her working closely together like we do and with her being signed to me, that's like my prodigy." Mustard also touted Mai's focus, adding that he "can't wait for the world to hear her album" to see what they've been cooking up over the past two years.

The 15-track album features John Legend, H.E.R., and Chris Brown. The majority of the production, as expected, was handled by Mustard himself with additional assistance from Lido, H*Money, Kosine, and more:

As announced back in August, Mai is among the artists providing support on Bruno Mars' upcoming 24K Magic world tour. Boyz II Men, Ciara, and Charlie Wilson have also been tapped for the worldwide trek.
