Album covers

The original album cover featured a darkly lit close-up shot of Mumba's face. A&M Records president Ron Fair made the decision to release the US re-issue with a new album cover, which had Mumba positioned in front of a bright colourful portrait, as he wanted to express her true personality. The re-issued album incorporated two re-recorded songs; "Baby, Come Over (This Is Our Night)", and "The Boy", which featured Will.i.am from The Black Eyed Peas, while two songs were removed. It was released on 27 March 2001.[4]
