Toujours un ailleurs (meaning Always Elsewhere) is the sixth French-language studio album by Anggun.[1] It was released physically in France and Belgium by TF1 Musique on 20 November 2015, with its digital album being available on all iTunes Stores worldwide. The album revisited the world music direction of her debut international album, Snow on the Sahara (1997). Toujours un ailleurs was produced by Frédéric Chateau and Brian Rawling, and features guest vocals by singers Florent Pagny and Angélique Kidjo

"À nos enfants" and "Nos vies parallèles" (duet with Florent Pagny) were released as the first two singles preceding the album; the latter has currently peaked #39 on the Ultratop Singles Chart.[2] and #47 on the French Singles Chart.[3]

Background and development

Following the release of her fifth international studio album Echoes and her participation in the Eurovision Song Contest 2012, Anggun began her television career by judging several talent shows in Asia. She started writing songs for her next album after completing the first season of X Factor Indonesia (2013). On 14 February 2014 through her official Twitter account, Anggun posted a photo of her recording session in Metrophonic Studios, London, England, with Paul Barry, Patrick Mascall and James Jeffery.[4] On her YouTube channel, Anggun later uploaded a 20-second snippet of the song "Perfect World" produced by Brian Rawling at Metrophonic Studios.[5] Rawling is a Grammy Award-winning British producer who had produced albums of popular artists such as Cher, Tina Turner, Enrique Iglesias and One Direction. On 25 April 2014, Anggun posted a photo of her studio session with Deep Forest, who previously collabrated with her on "Deep Blue Sea" (2002).[6]

While appearing on the TV show Les Années Bonheur, Anggun performed a cover version of Maxime Le Forestier's "Née quelque part", which would be included on her upcoming album. She announced that the album would be released circa March or April 2015. However, due to her involvement on Asia's Got Talent, the project was postponed to October 2015 and later to November 2015. In June 2015, Anggun told The Jakarta Post that she had already finished the French album with 12 tracks and in process to complete the English album by remaking six songs.[7] Anggun announced that the French album is titiled Toujours un ailleurs. The album was distributed by TF1 Musique under Universal Music Group.[8]
