The compositions of their previous incarnation entitled Jade Vincent Experiment (MOY) have given way to an electronic driven engine which has birthed a musique-noir hybrid of itself called Vincent and Mr. Green. Their style remains experimental and unconventional. In this debut, sounds of old Country music mingle with a different kind of hip-hop and then glide through the door into the ballroom where Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers step lightly.

Lyrically the songs are about life and death, love and hate. The music sheds light and keeps you in the dark all at the same time. This album documents the struggle between the ego and identity. Somehow accidentally conceptual, the songs treat the listener to a film of comedic style or drama, or maybe a stroll through the Louvre where every painting is a story in itself - varying to hard degrees of emotion both good and evil, funny and somber, surreal and real.
