Data Insight
None of the thirteen tracks is hers. Daft Punk, Julian Casablancas, Ben Gibbard, Damien Rice and Zac Brown wrote them instead. It is the only album in the catalogue she has no writing credit on at all, and the only one where that is the stated intention.
Male came out on Portrait in July 2015, six years after the album before it. Every song on it was originally written and recorded by a man, which is where the title comes from.
