Anggun's new album is out this month. I must say, it's... not what I expected. Luminescence was going in a different direction for Anggun - electronic, surreal and a little more accessible to the mainstream. Elevation, on the other hand, is similar, but several tracks have a very noticeable hip-hop influence. Not the dirty south or 'hood variety. More like bass rich, upscale and fanciful hip-hop. No, Anggun isn't spilling rhymes or changing her singing style. The arrangements are just elaborate and lively. "Tentation" is a sample of what I mean - dramatic with strings, and heavy and rhythmic beats.
