Tao's first album was notable for the excellent production and even more amazing, the album was entirely recorded in Tao's home in Los Angeles.
Although this was his best selling album, a lot of people still said that his first album was his best, forgetting that I'm OK had the most hits, from the rock ballad Rain, the country flavored Small Town Girl, the classic R&B Ordinary Friends, the soulful Leave to the love ballad Close to You.
In this albumTao tried many musical styles including his favorite rock music, in fact each song is different in their style and music arrangement.
