She co-wrote all original materials on Echoes, alongside Gioacchino Maurici, Pierre Jaconelli, Jean-Pierre Pilot and William Rousseau.
The album was made by Anggun in two production teams: Gioacchino Maurici and Pierre Jaconelli on the one hand, and the duo of Jean-Pierre Pilot and William Rousseau on the other.
"What surprised us was the contrast between the simple, fun-loving woman we had in front of us and the image of the superstar diva we know from her videos or live performances.
Whereas a few years ago Anggun still sang of exile as a painful experience, now she knows where she is headed, as she has accepted that her destiny will always be bound up with travelling.
And yet, without any excess exoticism or pointless clichés, you find subtle traces of the singer’s Indonesian roots via the various subjects she tackles.
On the other hand, the extremely sensual "Rollercoaster", composed by Axel Bauer, conjures up the passion and sense of drama that can be part of the singer's life as well.
Many women will identify with the themes of the album: an upbeat girl’s power message in "Weapons", the weariness of "My Addiction" or the acceptance of who we really are in "Impossible".
[8][9] The music videos for "Only Love", "Hanyalah Cinta" and "Je partirai" were shot in one session by French director Jean-Baptiste Erreca in Bangkok, Thailand.
For the promotional intentions, Keo, Claudia Faniello, Niels Brinck, and Varga Viktor are featuring in this song for special editions, each for Romania, Malta, Denmark, and Hungary.
