In an interview with UK Vibe's Michael Edwards, Tamar Osborn said of the album The Search: "The album title refers to searching for a better way to exist in the world, but that could be emotional, spiritual or more simply a move to a geographically different place. The last track is called Arrival and hopefully suggests something positive for us to aim for in these unsettled times. It’s an accidental concept album, the story of a journey. I didn’t start off with the intention of writing an album with a narrative theme, but as the music progressed the compositions naturally fitted together and there seemed to be a continuum between the pieces that developed into this story of a journey with a dark beginning and a hopeful end.”
