French star Anggun is currently appearing as a judge on Asia's Got Talent for the second time, but
she's still found the time to release a new single entitled What We Remember.
The song gives a flavour of Anggun's most recent album, an English-language collection entitled 8. Throughout her career she's released material in French, English and Indonesian, normally with an English and French version of each album.
Her last album was 2015's Toujours un ailleurs, and rather than record an English version of that collection, she went instead on to record completely new material in English for the 8 album.
Anggun is a hugely successful French Asian artist, reaching an international audience following her move to France from Indonesia in the late 90s, her Au nom de la lune album establishing her in France after generating huge sales and a Victoires de la musique nomination.
She's gone on to sell millions of copies of subsequent albums, become one of Indonesia's most high profile celebrities and become a UN Goodwill Ambassador.
If there's something that looks a bit familiar in the video, it's maybe the bridge. If you've seen the Orelsan video for the track Basic, the scenes for Anggun's video were shot at the same location in Ukraine.
A live appearance on C à vous by Florent Pagny and Anggun, with the song Nos vies parallèles.
The track comes from Anggun's new album Toujours un ailleurs, which came out last week.
It's the sixth French language album from the Indonesian-born singer, who moved to France to pursue her career in the 90s.
She's one of the most successful Asian artists in relation to the western audience, and France has adopted her as one of their own.
Pagny, now something of a veteran figure, has been a massive seller since the early 90s, with his most recent album 2013's Vieillir avec toi, a number one album in France.
Saturday night sees France's Amandine Bourgeoise represent the country at the Eurovision Song Contest with the song L'enfer et moi. It's a strong bluesy rock number, and time will tell how it does at the event in Malmo.
Arguably France's landmark moment in Eurovision was France Gall's victory with Serge Gainsbourg's song Poupée de cire, poupée de son. It was, however, an entry for Luxembourg. A victory for the international spirit of co-operation and cross border artistic collaboration, but not a victory for France.
France's first Eurovision victory came in 1958, with the song Dors Mon Amour, performed by André Claveau. France has so far won the contest five times.
The last time France won Eurovision was in 1977, with the song L'oiseau et l'enfant by Marie Myriam
Recent years have not seen France dominate at Eurovision like they did in the early years of the competition. 2012's entry Anggun came 21st in the contest.
Recent years have seen some big names from French music compete for Eurovision, although with only limited success. One that did give a good account was Patricia Kaas, who performed in 2009 with the song Et s'il fallait le faire, which came eighth.
That level of success wasn't enjoyed by Sébastien Tellier the previous year who despite one of the most memorable entrances in recent years, came 18th with Divine.
France's entries have traditionally always been in French, one interesting exception was in 1996 with the song Diwanit Bugale, which was in Breton and performed by Dan Ar Braz and L'Héritage des Celtes, featuring vocals by Scotland's Karen Matheson
Another more recent entry that wasn't in French was the 2011 entry, with the number Sognu by Amaury Vassili, which was performed in Corsican.
It was the second time a song in Corsican was entered into Eurovision by France, following 1993's Mama Corsica by Patrick Fiori.
France automatically qualifies for the finals, as one of the five countries that contributes the most to the European Broadcasting Union. Maybe this gives them an unfair advantage, but over the years I reckon France has done better than the UK in the quality of their entries.
And there have been no 'Nul Points' incidents like the UK got in 2003, or last places like the UK graced in 2003, 2008 and 2010.
For all Eurovision is easy to criticise, it's worth remembering that for many in the UK, the event is the only time in the year that they get the chance to hear via prime-time television music from outside the anglophone sphere.
Eurovision is a strange parallel music world, where normal critical judgement can be suspended and the show can be enjoyed for the spectacle that it is.
It's the weekend when UK viewers get reminded that there's music made outside the English language world. Eurovision is mocked as much as it is enjoyed in the UK, and while the staging of many of the acts certainly merits mockery, there's usually a sneering tone about how the foreigners really can't really do proper music.
It will take more than a televised music contest to rid the English speaking world of its xenophobia, but at least its a step in the right direction.
This year there's a controversy over the host country and its human rights record. I'm sure there are similar problems in many of the countries in eastern Europe. Again, it will take more than an international TV event to sort these out, but hopefully the attention given to these issues by the international media will at least raise awareness of the problems.
Meanwhile, with the show itself attention will no doubt focus on the alleged political skullduggery in the voting, with claims of favouritism and partiality. But it was always like this, and much of it is down to acts being established performers in culturally similar countries.
Meanwhile, Spain are asking their entrant not to win because they can't afford to stage it, and the Euro crisis hangs over the event, and a number of countries have withdrawn this year.
Other rows focus on the performers: Are Jedward good enough to represent Ireland? Is Englebert too old to represent the UK?
But we should put our pre-concieved ideas to one side and enjoy the entertainment, because that's what it is.
At its best Eurovision is television entertainment at its finest, as ridiculous as it is spectacular. It's a throwback to a time of more utopian ideas, that a continent could settle its political and cultutral differences in a sing-off, and that a song could unite different peoples regardless of linguistic differences.
Of course, it never quite achieves its lofty ideas, adrift on a sea of kitsch, ropey acts and bad songs, but that distance between its ideals and the reality is where the enjoyment exists.
There will certainly be memorable moments. Many for the wrong reasons. Will Anggun's Echo (You and I) take the prize? We'll see. In the meantime, there will be some quality - in some form or other - TV to watch on Saturday night.
