The album featured the single “The Child (Inside),” which won them the title of Newcomer of the Year at the 2nd South African Music Awards (SAMAS). The single also reached No. 1 on the South African charts, the Billboard Dance Charts in November 1996 (U.S.), and reached 69 on the Billboard Hot 100.
