Slimmy started working on the album with his longtime producers Quico Serrano and Mark J Turner.
In summer 2007 Slimmy returned to Portugal to promote his projects because he felt that he wasn't recognized in his country.
During these years there were many times when I hesitated whether I was going in the right direction if that was where I wanted to be, but then when I saw the final product and liked it, it had a minimal importance.
Slimmy's most significant promotion marked the beginning of "Sex and Love Tour", starting in February 2008 at the "Industrial Nightclub" in Porto.
