Paintings in Yellow is the fourth studio album from German singer Sandra, released in 1990.[1]
The five-part track "The Journey" foreshadowed the Enigma sound. Frank Peterson, who was the co-producer (alias "F. Gregorian") on the Enigma project, took up the role of writing and producing some of the tracks with Michael Cretu. His influence was clearly audible. In the same year, Enigma's song "Sadeness" became a huge hit in many countries all over the world. At first nobody knew who was hiding behind the alias Enigma, but Sandra fans quickly identified her voice. When the song became a Top 10 hit in the United States, it marked Sandra's first successful venture into the U.S. market. Sandra performed the album's second single "(Life May Be) A Big Insanity" at the World Music Awards in Monte Carlo when she accepted the prize for Best Selling German Artist at the end of 1990.
[edit] Singles
"Hiroshima", the lead-track from this album, was a cover version of a classic Wishful Thinking tune that gave Sandra yet another Top 10 hit, reaching #4 in three different countries. "(Life May Be) A Big Insanity" and "One More Night" were also released as singles.
