Lucid utilizes piano-led ballads, strings and soft brass to tell a tale of the brokenhearted. The lyrics explore topics such as love, heartbreak, self-discovery, empowerment, joy, pain and identity. The album’s singles “The Beginning”, “Good Thing”, and “My Dear” were all released in 2019. The album received generally positive reviews from music critics, who commended the symbolic nature of Aṣa’s songwriting and considered it to be her deepest and most emotionally robust record.
