Background


Following the release of her sixth French-language album, Toujours un ailleurs (2015), Anggun worked on the English version.[5] In July 2017, it was announced that the singer had signed a pan-Asian recording deal with Universal Music Asia, based in Hong Kong, and her album would be released by the end of the year.[6] She then restarted the album's recording and rejected all the English songs from the Toujours un ailleurs session, including the ones she recorded with Brian Rawling in Metrophonic Studio, London.[1]

Titled 8, the album became Anggun's eighth album since her international breakthrough, following Snow on the Sahara / Au nom de la lune (1997), Chrysalis / Désirs contraires (2000), the Open Hearts soundtrack (2002), Luminescence (2005), Elevation (2008), Echoes / Échos (2011), and Toujours un ailleurs (2015).


Promotion


The album was launched at the Apple Store on Orchard Road in Singapore on 8 December 2017, with an acoustic showcase by the singer.[7][8] Anggun also travelled to Manila, Philippines to do a promotional tour.[9] "What We Remember" was released as the album's first single on 13 October 2017, with a music video directed by Roy Raz.[10][11] The second single, "The Good Is Back", was released in two duet versions on 20 April 2018, one with Indonesian singer Rossa and the other with Malaysian singer Fazura.[12][13]
