Privacy is the second studio album by French singer, songwriter, and model Ophélie Winter. It was released on 28 August 1998 and was recorded from 1997 through to early 1998, enlisting various producers and songwriters worldwide such as Soulshock & Karlin, Guy Roche, Rick Mitra, Shelly Peiken, Anders Bagge, and Shana Morrison.[2] Privacy encompasses Pop Rock, R&B, retro and contemporary pop.[3] The album marked a drastic sound change from her previous effort, No Soucy !, as she departed from her earlier New Jack Swing style, which was her signature style, to a more polished Pop and Funk sound.[4] Winter chose more personal and mature songs on the album that dealt with the themes of being in the public eye, relationships, love, women empowerment, and sexual abuse.[5] Upon the release, the album was critically panned by critics and considered a sophomore slump compared to her previous effort.[citation needed]
