First Contact is the debut studio album by American house producer Roger Sanchez, released in July 2001 by Defected Records. After establishing himself as a popular DJ and remixer throughout the 1990s, Sanchez decided he wanted to create more of his own music and record a studio album, feeling he had "a bit of a story to tell with [his life]." Conceiving the album to be a very personal "reflection of his life", Sanchez recorded First Contact over a four-year period. Music critics have described the record as a disco house album which displays a disparate array of influences and styles, including garage, Latin and electro. Numerous guest vocalists, including Cooly's Hot Box, N'Dea Davenport and Sharleen Spiteri, contribute vocals to the record. Midway through the album's production, Sanchez released "I Never Knew" as its first single, a moderate hit. Upon the record's completion, he released the second single "Another Chance", which became a number 1 hit in the United Kingdom and a Pan-European club success. "You Can't Change Me" and "Nothin' 2 Prove" were also released as singles. First Contact was a moderate commercial success in the UK, reaching number 34. The album received general acclaim from most music critics, who felt that it merged different influences successfully. (en) |
