The album comprised 14 melodious, funky-like songs. This album was recorded for Warner Music Poland. Warner Music Poland took over Dorota, in a similar way like a few years ago it happened with Red Hot Chili Peppers. Dorota was lucky to cooperate with a record company, which promoted the world’s greatest female singer – Aretha Franklin. Fascination with a new wave of dark-skinned female singers from USA is easily heard in the whole Dorota’s album. What distinguishes Dorota from other Polish female singers is the fact that she has in her voice a certain feeling and when she sings, she tells emotional, love stories. Dorota became widely looked for on the market of radio jingles, many entertainment programms in public television (TVP) were supported vocally by Dorota. Her characteristic voice was also appreciated in the far Asia, where for the purpose of Korean production, she recorded timeless Polish hit “Chryzantemy złociste” (“Golden Chrysanthemums”).
