Entirely in English apart from one bonus song, the album comprises of 12 tracks, 8 of which were recorded with the famous Brian Rawling of Metrophonic. "...singing in English was a challenge for other Russian artists from our side. No one has ever tried it here but we [Smash!!] wanted from the start to do something on a global level and we had always planned to sell our music outside of Russia. The fact that our English language album sold so well was hard to believe, people thought it won’t sell at all!" says Sergey. Although still not well recognized in countries outside of the Russian Federation, Sergey Lazarev is determined for global success, and based on current album sale figures it won`t be all that long until his dream is recognized.
