8 is the seventh international studio album by Indonesian-French singer Anggun and her eleventh overall. ^{[1] [2]} It was released by Universal Music on 8 December 2017 and became her first English-language album not to have a standalone French version. The album's first single, " What We Remember", was released digitally on 13 October 2017 ^[3] and reached number eight on the Billboard Dance Club Songs chart in the United States. ^[4]

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]}
