Furthermore, she will release her highly anticipated new English album in November 2017!
Universal Music Asia descibes the deal as a one-of-a-kind pan-Asian recording contract. The President of Universal Music Asia, George Ash, has described Anggun as, without doubt, an incredibly talented artist:
“Throughout her career, she has been popular not only in Asia but around the world, proven by the fact that she is the best-selling female Southeast Asian artist outside of Asia. She has countless international accolades and her work on Asia’s Got Talent will lay the foundations for future generations of artists. So, we are very proud to work alongside her on her much-anticipated forthcoming English album and look forward to an exciting year ahead.”
