Style

The album has a noticeably different style than those preceding with adult sounding and developed vocals.

She added that the new album would be a surprising change from her previous releases. After seeing the photos from the album's shoot, ''Espresso Magazine'' wrote that Chrispa had transformed into a perfectly sexy female, markedly emaciated, with long brown hair and an incredibly bold figure. She posed with little mannerism in revealing clothes and looked ready to put the fire back in the nightlife of Athens.

Minos EMI immediately recalled all of the faulty product, while publicly apologizing for the inconvenience and offering to buy back or exchange the defective CDs.
