The vocals on the A side of the record (tracks 2, 3, 4, 5 on CD) were performed by Anna Vissi, whereas on the B side (CD tracks 6, 7, 9, 10) by Karvelas himself, who also played instruments and produced all tracks.

The album's biggest hit, though, Den Thelo Na Xereis ("I don't want you to know"), an operatic power-ballad featuring Anna Vissi on the lead vocals, was met with acclaim, becoming one of the singer's signature songs and one of the most popular Greek songs of the 1990s.

Emeis, Fteo, Mouri, Den Thelo Na Xereis, Nai, Aksize and Mesa Sou were officially released on promotional clips at the time, airing in local TV stations. Off the seven, Emeis and Den Thelo Na Xereis were selected for digital release on Vissi's 2001 The Video Collection
