Luminescence par Anggun - Ce CD est remplit avec plein des chansons formidable. Je suis un fan d Anggun, mes eleves aussi. J aime bien les nouveaux remix de Juste avant toi, Etre une femme, et Garde Moi. Elle chante hyper bien. C est mon reve de la fait venir a Fresno, pour chanter aux eleves de francais! Un de ces jours j espere! Monsieur D.
Anggun outdid herself this time - Always known for her gorgeous looks and sultry smoky voice, Anggun arrived on the scene as an Exotic breath of fresh air. With Luminescence, she puts aside her foreign Asian-appeal and proves that she can transcend all barriers and genres. Etre Une Femme was a urban-flavored surprise and captured Anggun garnering an entirely new fan-base while staying true to her strong vocals and amazing R&B runs. Cesse La Pluie burst out as the memorable next single with it s beautiful piano arrangement and crunchy guitar riffs. Althroughout the album we find Anggun reaching a new zenith as the writing becomes more poetic and lyrical, the hooks are tighter and her voice is more polished and confident. The already superior album (Almost every song could be a single) was re-released in mid 2006 and offers new remixes and bonus tracks not included in the original version. Garde Moi a duet with David Halliday is a haunting and exquisite rock ballad, while Juste Avant Toi was a lighter yet no less melancholy triumph that ruled the summer of 06 . The remixed songs are excellent as well : Captivite is mashed-up with Another Brick in the Wall by Pink Floyd, Etre Une Femme is remixed to sound like something from out of Lata Mangeshkar s repetoire, and there are two techno mixes of the other two singles. This was truly one of the best French albums (or any album for that matter regardless of language) I have ever heard, and as Anggun s star ascends ever higher we are left to wonder what she could possibly do to top Luminescence.
