Background


The album's title symbolised the upcoming seventh anniversary of Sandra's career. It was recorded in Sandra and Michael Cretu's home studio in Ibiza, Spain, and continued a development towards a more meditative, less dance-oriented musical style, echoing material that Sandra and Michael recorded together for the Enigma project.[1] The male vocals were performed by Andy Jonas, also known as Andy "Angel" Hart.

"Don't Be Aggressive" was released as the first single from the album in January 1992, reaching the top 10 in Finland and Norway, and the top 20 in Sandra's native Germany. "I Need Love" followed as the second and final commercial single in April 1992, but was a commercial failure, becoming Sandra's first single since 1984 to fail to enter the charts. "Steady Me" was issued in June 1992 as a promotional single only in Germany.[2]

Although Close to Seven did not sell as well as its predecessors,[3] it was a commercial success and remains Sandra's second highest-charting album in Germany at number seven. It also reached the top 20 in Switzerland and Norway.
