Anggun has return with her 5th full lenght album "Elevation" (Double Disc) . This is her second international album since "Snow On The Sahara"(1997). miloSkilos provides us a great review, [click here]
Unlike her previous album, ‘Elevation’ is observed as a carefully produced album in hope to not only capture interest and appeals to much wider listeners but at the same time able to maintain Anggun artistic style in almost all of her song. A similar effort made in ‘Loose’(2006) by Nelly Furtado.
However, not all the songs in ‘Elevation’ are hiphop influence.Its not a hip hop album persay. Appropriately, i would say that ‘Elevation’ are a collection of an upbeat, midtempo and slowmo urban sounds with multiple musical varieties from pop, rap, dance, ballad, hiphop and even rock. All of these tracks still carries Anggun’s signature style in every facets of the song.Anggun is known to refused to be associate with a specific musical genres. Over the years since the release of ‘Snow On The Sahara’, she enjoy expressing her creativity in many music genres.
It was a little bit uproar when Olga matched Luna Maya and Ariel Peterpan shoes at "Dahsyat" Music Show yesterday. Ariel and Luna wore similar shoes. Both white and similar model. He...he...he... maybe it was a sign for them both to dating back?

Song For Gaza - "We will not go down" by Michael Heart
Lyrics:
A blinding flash of white light Lit up the sky over Gaza tonight People running for cover Not knowing whether they're dead or alive
They came with their tanks and their planes With ravaging fiery flames And nothing remains Just a voice rising up in the smoky haze
We will not go down In the night, without a fight You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools But our spirit will never die We will not go down In Gaza tonight
Women and children alike Murdered and massacred night after night While the so-called leaders of countries afar Debated on who's wrong or right
But their powerless words were in vain And the bombs fell down like acid rain But through the tears and the blood and the pain You can still hear that voice through the smoky haze
We will not go down In the night, without a fight You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools But our spirit will never die We will not go down In Gaza tonight
We will not go down In the night, without a fight You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools But our spirit will never die
