Anggun C. Sasmi... Lah!!! s the fourth Indonesian-language studio album by Indonesian singer Anggun. Her first self-produced record, it was released in 1993 under her own label, Bali Cipta Records. ^{[1] [2]} The album yielded the successful single, "Kembalilah Kasih (Kita Harus Bicara)", and earned a nomination for "Best Selling Album of the Year" at the 1993 BASF Awards.

Background and release

The album was released independently through Anggun's own record label, Bali Cipta Records. ^[1] This decision to self-produce the album was a direct response to the unclear contract issues she had faced within the domestic music industry at the time. This independent endeavor was met with significant challenges, forcing her to single-handedly compete against the dominance of major record labels in Indonesia. Furthermore, her efforts were complicated by the disappointment caused by a piracy case involving the album's release. ^[2]

Promotion and accolades

The album's promotion centered by its lead single, "Kembalilah Kasih (Kita Harus Bicara)". The track achieved commercial success within Indonesia, supported by multiple music video versions. One of the versions was directed by the actress Ria Irawan. ^[3] The video also garnered international exposure by securing rotation on MTV Hong Kong ^[4] and received recognition at the Video Musik Indonesia (VMI) Awards in 1993, winning "Best Music Video" and "Favorite Music Video".

In terms of commercial reception, the album's performance resulted in a nomination for "Best Selling Album of the Year" at the national BASF Awards that same year. The album was also released in Malaysia with an alternative cover design. ^[5]

It became Anggun's final studio album in her homeland before moving to Europe to embark on an international career. ^{[6] [7]}

"Kembalilah Kasih (Kita Harus Bicara)" was covered by the Indonesian band Gigi for their 2007 album, Peace, Love & Respect. ^[8]
