Of working with London, Miri stated, “I loved working with Theophilus London on his new album. After meeting him for the first time in the studio, we just hit it off and vibed immediately.  Like myself, Theophilus likes to think outside of the box with his musical approach and I am happy that I was able to contribute and be a part of this fresh new sound.”
