Background


Events in the lives of the band post the Blue Album in 2015 such as funerals, suicide, birth, marriage and awards influenced the Purple Album.[3][4] The album opens with "Not a Damn Thing Changed", which a dedication at the end of the song in memory of a lost friend.[5] "Lullaby" was influenced by the birth of his daughter.[4]

A conversation between Forchhammer and Dan Wilson in relation to political songs sparked the idea for a redemption song.[6] Amy Wadge and Forchhammer were working on Lullaby when Wadge was inspired to come out with lyrics used in the redemption song.[6] The opening of the song references Bob Marley and Lennon.[7] Forchhammer has stated that Marley was one of the biggest inspirations for him; Marley's Redemption Song, a reminder of war and the direct impact it had on his childhood.[8]

"Love Someone" and "Promise" is dedicated to Forchhammer's wife while "Unhappy" is about sorting out disagreements between the two.[4]


Critical reception


Mark Kennedy of the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette called the album full of "regret and moodiness" and noted that it is "also largely shorn of the upbeat tempos and hip-hop elements that made his [Graham's] last album so successful. This is a truly melancholy Dane."[9] Kennedy ultimately felt that the album leaves the listener feeling "bummed out".[9]
