They created a top selling quality product with an eclectic mix of influences and extraordinary music. The CD is recorded in Slovene, but most of songs are also translated in English, Spanish, French and German.

They made two videos in Belgrade with the popular director Dejan Miličević, and they also received the "Victor Victoria" award in 2002 for the most popular group in Serbia from Slovenia.

Sestre also won "Fesion" award in 2002 for the best personal style in Slovenia and the "Golden Record" award for their first single "Samo Ljubezen."
