* ConceptAlbum: In her own words, a "failed concept album" originally stemming from her desire to make a more narrative-driven album. Nevertheless, the album still uses sci-fi themes to convey Michelle's sense of isolation and shutting off her emotions, akin to a machine or floating around in space.
