An eclectic mix of dream pop, psychedelia, and trip hop, the album was a continuation of Wong's experimental efforts, a departure from her previous work under Cantopop and R&B influences. Wong's next record, the dream pop Fuzao (1996), was a culmination of her artistic vision. Di-Dar was Wong's final Cantonese album until Be Perfunctory (2015), a re-release of two extended plays; all of Wong's later albums were recorded in Mandarin with a limited number of Cantonese tracks, primarily alternative versions aimed at the Hong Kong market. Most of Wong's collaborators on Di-Dar had been involved in her earlier work. Lyricist Lin Xi (Albert Leung) penned nine tracks on the album; songwriter C.Y.

Deemed one of Wong's most coherent artistic efforts, the dream pop and trip hop elements of Di-Dar would influence her later work such as Fuzao — on which Wong collaborated with her long time influence, the Cocteau Twins — and...
