CLOSE TO SEVEN

Released on February 17th 1992, Close to Seven marks a significant turning point in Sandra’s career, where she delves deeper into more mature and introspective themes. This album is a departure from her earlier, more pop-oriented work, reflecting her personal growth and evolving musical direction.

Produced by Michael Cretu, who also co-wrote many of the tracks, Close to Seven is infused with a blend of pop, ambient, and world music influences, creating a rich, textured soundscape. The album’s contemplative mood is evident in songs like “Don’t Be Aggressive,” the lead single that addresses themes of conflict and reconciliation, and “Mirrored in Your Eyes,” which explores introspection and emotional depth.

Sandra’s vocals on Close to Seven are more nuanced and expressive, matching the album’s sophisticated arrangements. The album’s title reflects its thematic focus on spirituality and self-discovery, with the number seven often symbolizing completion and perfection in various cultures and religions.

While Close to Seven did not achieve the same commercial success as some of her earlier albums, it was praised for its artistic depth and remains a favorite among fans who appreciate Sandra’s ability to evolve and explore new musical territories.
