Heard on the fan-favorite “Four Point Steel Star,” the duo shapes a grungy, futuristic soundscape.

On the title track, Black sings “I don’t need you to save me / I already saved myself” over a dreamy synth soundscape, while on “Do You Even Think About Me?” she details the aftermath of a heartbreak as a choppy, electronic drop takes center stage.

In a statement posted to social media, Def Jam said that “His contributions at Def Jam, as both an A&R executive and in partnership with Murder Inc. helped pave the way for the next generation of artists and producers, a force that reshape the soundscape of hip-hop and R&B. His creative genius and unwavering dedication to the culture birthed countless hits, defining an era of music that continues to resonate with fans worldwide.”

The songs he composed with Alan R. Splet create a proto-industrial soundscape with haunting effects, unsettling dialogue and vocals, and roaring synthesized white noise — like Eno descending into hell.

In 1997, he’d recruited NIN’s Trent Reznor to create a soundscape for “Lost Highway,” and together they landed on the cover of Rolling Stone.
