RIVERSIDE comments:

"The lyrics on the new album deal with different situations we face in our modern times and how we sometimes become enslaved by them and by the style of life they dictate.
 
For instance, we are dominated and bombarded by increasingly stupefying media. The media, in turn, is dominated by more and more people who are known for their well-knownness...

Celebrities, the modern representatives of a need which lies deep within us all and is rarely satisfied - the feeling of importance.

This feeling, and some of the dilemmas and complications connected with it, is the subject of our newest single - 'Celebrity Touch'
 
Musically, we still try to extend the bridge to connect the new music to the old. In this track, we achieved some kind of original mixture and hope you will enjoy this piece of the new album."
