What have the artists said about the album?
Lena:
That was a great record! I think we had a very strong message, a lot of teens found themselves in our songs. The music is great, it is an album where almost every song is a hit! I am proud of it! It was the beginning of our careers, so exciting. New life. Great times for us, I think! No regrets!
Julia:
Yes, it was a huge success all of a sudden. My childhood dream came true. There can be only one regret: That these years pass too quickly, and there’s no way to return back.

Was the language barrier difficult to overcome when recording album in English?
Julia:
No, we worked with Martin in the studio and he helped us with the pronunciation. A person with musical education and ear for music will remember quickly and be able to repeat.
Lena:
It was not a big problem for me cause I was speaking English, not the way I do now, of course. But we had to work on our accent. Martin was helping us with it, teaching how to pronounce the words correctly.
