Bruce  previously said about the album: “So, everybody,  everybody  on the planet who’s been going, ‘Oh my god. What’s this solo thing gonna be all about when it finally happens?’ Well, it’s finally happening. It’s called  ‘The Mandrake Project’ , and’ of course, it’s music. But, it’s also much, much, more. More than that, I’m not gonna reveal for now, ’cause it will become self-explanatory and self-evident as we go through and reveal more layers of the onion for you all.”

“But, yeah,  The Mandrake Project . We’ve been working on this since 2014, when it wasn’t called   The Mandrake Project . And it’s had time to grow and mature. And, oh my God, has it ever. I think you will be really, really excited. And, I hope you love everything that we’ve created for you.”
