About
It was May 26, 1998 when Anggun's second album "Snow On The Sahara" was released under Columbia/Sony France, produced by Erick Benzi, English adaptation made by Nikki Matheson. Snow On The Sahara is a promising debut effort from the adult contemporary Indonesian Diva. Anggun tackles polished ballads, Latin-pop and dance-pop on Snow on the Sahara, demonstrating that she can sing all the styles quite well.However, the predictable material holds her back from ascending to the heights she could reach. Nevertheless, she illustrates enough full-formed talent on the disc to make it a promising debut. The album album was also a major hit in her native country, Indonesia.

Trivia

Anggun contributed lyrics to "On The Breath Of An Angel" and to the Indonesian-language song "Selamanya." The album closes with one of its most memorable tracks, her interpretation of the David Bowie classic, "Life On Mars."
