Spiritual opens with a disclaimer of sorts. As he introduces himself to the “audience” a la Biggie on “Sky’s The Limit” on the album’s “Jazzy (Intro)”, the affable Corridor warns, “A large amount of the content that you are heading to listen to is, uh, parental… what do that get in touch with it? Parental advisory… some sh*t like that, I do not know.” A snicker monitor responds in kind to the joke.

For Nigel Hall, having said that, the heavier themes explored on Spiritual are no laughing matter. “This file is a reflection of my ultimate days as an alcoholic and drug addict,” Hall explains. “It is the most sincere assortment of songs I have at any time designed, and getting capable to rejoice that as a sober human becoming is a large honor. I experienced a good deal to get off my upper body and with this file I experience like I have been capable to release all those emotions and demons that have been weighing so intensely on me.”

“Now that Spritual is out in the environment,” Nigel surmises, “I have a good feeling of closure and peace all around that chapter of my everyday living. Aside from my little ones, this file is my proudest accomplishment to date. So as you pay attention, realize that this document was designed with the intention to permit go of sure matters, so that I could mature. This report is for me.”
