One song from the album is already out. “Leave Us Be” dropped with the album announcement just a couple of hours ago. It’s a socially aware R&B composition with an instrument-based beat. As a result, the harsh lyrics mix with easy-going production.

- “Turning Poison Into Medicine”
- “Drones” (featuring Kendrick Lamar, Ty Dolla $ign, James Fauntleroy & Snoop Dogg)
- “Leave Us Be”
- “Work It Out” (featuring Cordae)

- “Listen” (featuring James Fauntleroy, Kim Burrell & Robert Glasper)
Martin himself also left a short statement regarding “Drones.” “There are touches of R&B, touches of jazz, touches of hip-hop, touches of classical, Cuban music, West African music, house music,” the musician said.
“You’re going to hear all elements of Black music within this record. It’s not one element I can leave out if I call myself a true Black artist.”
