Musical Aspect
Like the other aspects, "Sandy" produced a very different sound to the previous albums. Sandy sung in obvious improved vocals. 3 songs were Euro/American covers and 3 songs were Japanese covers, with the rest written locally. From this point, it can be seen Euro/American songs were covered to introduce a western feel in this album, but balanced with Japanese cover songs to maintain commercial acceptance. Musicians were similar to previous albums, but they suited Sandy's style and created an American pop sound instead of J-pop. Lead single "Passion"'s lyrics were written by Richard Lam. Instead of coping with the record company and writing a concept similar to "Heartbreak Alley" from her last album, which was about the strong emotions from breaking up, he ran the risk of writing an extremely detailed romantic theme where a couple had just met their partner. This adult contemporary style was very different from most of the other songs. In addition, track 10 nightwing's lyrics were co-wrote by Sandy and May Leung, another DJ and friend of Sandy.

Famous quotes containing the words musical and/or aspect:
“Then, bringing me the joy we feel when wee see a work by our favorite painter which differs from any other that we know, or if we are led before a painting of which we have until then only seen a pencil sketch, if a musical piece heard only on the piano appears before us clothed in the colors of the orchestra, my grandfather called me the [hawthorn] hedge at Tansonville, saying, “You who are so fond of hawthorns, look at this pink thorn, isn’t it lovely?””
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
“As regards the celebrated “struggle for life,” it seems to me for the present to have been rather asserted than proved. It does occur, but as the exception; the general aspect of life is not hunger and distress, but rather wealth, luxury, even absurd prodigality—where there is a struggle it is a struggle for power.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
