instores. For their English language debut album, the band worked with a small group of German-based music producers, including Thorsten Brötzmann, Peter Ries, and Leslie Mándoki, as well as Rosenstolz member Peter Plate and his partner Ulf Leo Sommer, many who would beoame frequent collaborators on subsequent projects. Stylistically, Elle'ments takes influence from a number of different genres, such as Europop, teen pop, electro, and dance, and combines elements from pop rock, drum and bass, and contemporary R&B. The album received comparisons to artists such as Britney Spears, Destiny's Child, and the Spice Girls. Recording Following their formation, the band members moved into a house in Munich and began work on their debut album at the Park Studios, in Tutzing, Bavaria where most their songs would be recorded. Parts of the recording sessions were tracked for the final episodes of Popstars, particularly the vocal recording of "Daylight in Your Eyes", "When the Angels Sing" and the leftover track "So Wanna Be with You". Album opener "Daylight in Your Eyes", a cover version of singer Victoria Faiella's 2000 pop rendition of the rock-tinged original song by American rock band New Life Crisis, was produced by Thorsten Brötzmann. Set against a "knee-bobbing dance beat", the "exhilarating production" features an "anthemic chorus".

"Send Me Flowers" is a pop rock song that is backed by a gospel choir. Lyrically, it has a woman demanding an apology from her lover. Closing track "That's the Reason", another Brötzmann production, co-written by Alexander Geringas, is a piano-led pop ballad with soft string arrangements and lyrics that talk about reminiscing past memories with a loved one. Former Dschinghis Khan member Leslie Mándoki contributed the Eastern-flavored R&B track "Be My Man (The Plan)" in which a woman asks her lover to let her know about his motives, as well as the "moody" mid-tempo song "Faith Can Move a Mountain" that talks about finding comfort in others. "You Could Be the First" was produced by Patrik Majer and duo Plate & Sommer. Lyrically, the guitar-led mid-tempo song is about a woman who asks her husband to stop playing games with her; otherwise
