Indigo is an R&B album, which tends to a slightly more pop sound than its predecessor Heartbreak on a Full Moon, containing as well genres such as dancehall and afrobeat. It's also connected to indigo children, and that explains the supernatural mood of the album. The color indigo is a symbol of spirituality and inner awakening, and for the album I composed various songs entitled by colors that represent the emotion of those colors, for example Red represents anger, but the concept of the disc develops on the meaning of indigo.
