While taking a CD in my hand I first pay attention to the visual part, so after having taken a good look at the colourful, kinda comics-like cover, I could imagine that the music would be very positive... And I was right to a large extent.
After the first listening I was positively surprised by the rhythmical, energetic quality of the music. The very fact that it was hard to compare to any other  made it unique and special.

The first, title track, "Hope" is pleasant to listen to, however, there is an interesting clash here (like on the whole CD). Much as the music is danceable and invigorating, the lyrics, on second thought, seem to be a bit sad. Still, it doesn't disturb in relish for the CD.

Going through the next track (very listenable indeed) "I don't know how" and "Here 4u" (which is spiced by the male vocals in the background and whose rhythm I like best) I pass on to my favourite  song "Vision of life". Very calm one, it constitutes a certain relaxation after three previous ones. It definitely has something to it that makes me like it so much.

And out of a sudden the circle encloses as I reach the last track "Hope" (in a different version), which defines a frame structure of the CD. Though the song is wonderful in general, there are certain negative aspects of it. In the second part of the track there are some sounds that disrupt the whole: some sort of knocking of a wooden block on another :p It ruins the atmosphere a bit.

In spite of all I must admit that it is one of the best singles I've ever heard: it  cheers the listener and remains in one's head for long only after the first listening I strongly recommend it! And I'm waiting for more …
