The songs “Stop for a Minute” and “Looking Back” feature Somali Canadian rapper K’naan . The EP includes a cover of the song “You’ve Got to Help Yourself” by Yellow Magic Orchestra , featuring vocals by Japanese funk MC Tigarah . The song “Your Love” features Keane’s keyboardist Tim Rice-Oxley on lead vocals. The song “My Shadow” was featured in the Season 6 Grey’s Anatomy episode “Shiny Happy People”. Night Train has been met with mixed reviews from critics. Ryan Brockington of the New York Post ‘s PopWrap called the work “game changing” while writing that the first single “Stop for a Minute” is “just as brilliant” as the album.
