But that does not mean he forgot about the origin and homeland. Anggun At the end of the visit in Indonesia, he had a brief chat with Yahoo Indonesia. Not just about his new album, he also briefly mentioned his admiration for Tanti Box, Ariel Peterpan, even a First Brigadier Norman.
“
Ariel itu pencipta lagu yang oke, loh. Sayang sekali di Indonesia kita suka salah kaprah mengenai masalah pribadi.”
Echoes album touted as the most personal album. Why?
Each album was personal, but it echoes the most personal because I produced this album himself. So it's not got the boss - is not got skipper * laughs *
Previously when I was working with other labels, everything is negotiated. Although I was trusted by the label to compile an album of material, they still occasionally will ask "Why this song?" So I had to work furiously and said, "No no no, [the song] is not discarded, it must remain there."
But the album Echoes, I have more freedom in work, in deciding this and that.

What about the song "Eternal" - which he talked about losing?
"
I speak as my son is only in the Indonesianlanguage.
The song tells the story of my father who had died.Too bad I got the news he died when she was in Paris and could not come to Indonesia faster. I arrived one day after he was buried.
Every event in my life gave me material for thought.And for me, makes me think of death, what is man?Man is not meat. But the truth which makes us human is spirit. Some books that I read also confirms this theory - that the spirit is still there.
So the "Eternal" want to tell you that all who leave us, actually do not leave us. And we should not be too cry over someone who had to leave because they are actually more plong.
Death is not the contradiction of life. But the contradiction of birth.
Philosophical once.
I really love to read books of philosophy because I think is very helpful. I think the ancient times - the time of Socrates and Plato for example - so many great people who are not exposed to pollution of living. And people like that rarely exist in the world. They left a trail that we have to read to learn. If you can learn one thing only, it is tolerable.
Reading philosophy is what helps in the process of creation of songs?
Helpful at all. Even the title of the album "Echoes" is derived from Greek mythology. But I do not just read philosophy, but also newspapers, magazines, and books.
Which is more difficult, to write songs in French, English, or Indonesia?
I do not write in French. I can not, and may not want. So far I mostly write in English and then translated into French.
Writing is hard. Re-write it summarizes what we see, then we understand. Removing it difficult. Finding the right words not easy. Not something that's easy. My father once said, you can just write a song after you read how many thousands of sentences. So I respect as writers. My husband is a writer. Hahaha.
Is Anggun follow the development of music in Indonesia?
Following but from a distance. A lot of emerging artists.
Two nights ago I saw Vierra - he was musical okay loh. Write a song okay. He's light pop. But if that's lightweight does not mean not good. Then I ngefans same box. I'm amazed at Tanti. I wanted to duet with him.
Ariel Actually it is okay songwriter, loh. Unfortunately in Indonesia, we like misguided about personal problems. I also feel weird, how come he was actually punished. Though the movie was entertaining a lot of people * laughs *
Make me, a lot of group or artist of Indonesia that its potential is comparable with those from overseas. Both in terms of ideas, as well as vocals. But the thing is, if you want to succeed abroad, should be moved there.Examples Dental. Real.
Why to "go international", an artist must be moved out of the country first?
The system is better abroad. The music industry in America is really serious, its reach everywhere. Just as the industry in the UK, Germany, and France. Copyright note.
While in Indonesia? My goodness, the copy alone is not playing. Though piracy, including illegal downloading, make the music industry in the world that had its budget like crazy now does not. Could survive alone is okay.
Lots of artists whose contract is returned. For example, Phil Collins, now she's no longer contract. Annie Lenox was fired from the label. Madonna every album release, he had so desperately programmed song in radio.
Also, if you want to fight in a country, it should settle there. We do not just send the song. So I start from the bottom, because for me it is important. In terms of business, a lot of ins and outs that we must understand.
Albums Left first came out in America, some say, "You seem to have a chance to be big in America. But you have to stay here. "But I was reluctant, because it means I have to work with American producer. I must have a very American sense of humor. Have to adapt again.
Anggun and many artists start a career from the bottom. Yet through YouTube, a member of the Mobile Brigade can be directly known within two days.
Hahaha, that was a pop culture phenomenon. Directed by Andy Warhol used to say, "In the future, everyone will of some world-famous for 15 minutes." He's very visionary.
Now if we see, everyone wanted fame. But it's only temporary. Instant impression just like McDonalds french fries should be eaten in place - because when I got home, it's not good anymore.
Make me, it's not something that will last forever. Phenomenon would be eternal, but people will keep changing.
Difficult it is to be someone who is irreplaceable. It is more lasting, and that's what they need to fight.
Although length of stay abroad, Anggun still fluent in Indonesian.
Yes. I speak as my son is only in Indonesian. He's smart Indonesian. For me it was one of pride. Side of nationalism for someone is not from the visible attributes, whether it's wearing batik or symbol passport For me it started from the language. Indonesian Children should be Indonesian, dong.
