Background

In 1999, Anda collaborated with Romanian band R.A.C.L.A. on the EP Nu mă uita, making it her first musical project.[8] On the EP, she was featured on the songs, "Nu mă uita", which became a notable hit in Romania,[9] and "Fiesta". This inspired Anda to start recording her own musical projects, which resulted in the releases of two EPs Ca Între Fete and Doar Cu Tine in 1999 and 2003 respectively.[10][11]

After spending more than a year recording songs in the studio, Confidențial was officially released on 13 October 2005. It featured 10 individual tracks, all of them produced by singer-songwriter and producer Marius Moga, who also co-wrote most of the album's songs.[5] The first single, "Ce ți-aș face (Selecta)" featuring the Romanian Hip-Hop singer Alex Velea was released in August 2005.[1] The song quickly gained success, and peaked number two on the Romanian Top 100. Music videos for the songs "Ajutor", "Nai, Nai", and "Ochii Mei" were released the following year to promote the album, all having moderate success in Romania.[12][13]

The song "Dragostea Doare" was featured on the second and fifth editions of the compilation albums Declarație De Dragoste, which featured various love songs by several Romanian artists, including Connect-R, Morandi, Play & Win, and Akcent.[14][15]

Reception

Confidențial was met with positive reviews from music critics. Romanian website Muzica9 called the record one of Anda's best albums released at the time.[16]

The album sold over 20,000 units as of 2007, resulting in it being certified platinum.[7] To celebrate this occasion, Anda performed live at the Pat club in Bucharest, on June 20.[17]
