Background
In an interview with iHeartRadio, Bleu explained his reasoning for why he chose tantra as the title of the album, saying that he had been "reading things about the Moon and my sign. It's really called 'Moon Magic' and it's like some spiritual stuff so I been reading into it. I wanted it to be called something that people ain’t really know so they could read into it and find out about it. … certain little key things about spirituality and the moon."
