All Your Love is Malaysian recording artist Siti Nurhaliza's fifteenth studio album and her first English-language album. It was released on September 26, 2011[1] by What's Up Entertainment, which is owned and managed by her stepson Adib Khalid. All of the tracks were produced and written by two Australian composers and producers, Bryan Bouro and Christian Alexanda.

On "Remember You" and "I'll Wait Forever", Nurhaliza collaborated with Sean Kingston and Christian Alexanda respectively. The production took place in late January 2011[2] with the voice recording of all 10 tracks taking two weeks in Kuala Lumpur, while the mixing and mastering process took place in several studios in Australia and Los Angeles.[3]

The first single, "Falling in Love", was released and promoted on July 9, when she performed it for the first time at one of her promotional concerts for her beauty products and cosmetic range, SimplySiti in UiTM. It was performed live again a week later at the 10th Anugerah Planet Muzik.

Background and recording

I want an English album as a memento of my career as a singer. I don't want to think much about how to sing or the pronunciation of the English lyrics because I'm an Asian. What most important is that the pronunciation is clear and the messages [of the songs] are received [by them]..'"
—Siti Nurhaliza on her English pronunciation.[4]

In an interview during Secretary Week in March 2011, she revealed that she was working on a fully English album, with six of 10 tracks having been recorded as early as late January of the same year.[2]

For the first time, she worked under the management of What's Up Entertainment, which is owned by her stepson, Adib Khalid[2][5] who is only 21 years old.[6] Written and produced almost entirely by Christian Alexanda[6] and Bryan Bouro,[3] the tracks were mixed and mastered in various studios, including mixHaus studios in Los Angeles, Oasis Mastering in Burbank, California and WhyteHype Studios in Perth, Australia.[7]

The idea behind the album began when Siti and her husband Datuk Seri Khalid Mohamad Jiwa visited her stepson's recording company, What's Up Entertainment, and expressed her interest in having few songs written by Alexanda (a recording artist under Adib's management).[6] In less than two months, Alexanda finished writing 10 songs for Siti, and he and Bouro monitored Siti's English pronunciation throughout the recording process while maintaining her "Voice of Asia" identity.[6] Apart from solo tracks, All Your Love also featured vocals from Alexanda, in "I'll Wait Forever", as well as Sean Kingston, who is featured in the final track of the album, "Remember You".[4] Some consideration was given to featuring Pitbull on the album, but owing to financial constraints the idea was dropped.[4]

Artwork and title

The main album cover is said to be influenced by the work of Andy Warhol with "its brightly coloured hues and stylised portrait of the singer".[8] When she was asked why she choose "All Your Love" as the title, she said, "The title of the album is dedicated to all my fans, friends and family who have showered me with their love over the years. Because of that, I want to make them proud by producing an album that is able to compete on the international stage.".[8]

Release and promotion

Although its official release was on September 26, 2011, All Your Love was already available to the market as early as September 24;[9] it sold over 3000 copies from that first print[10] and so far has sold more than 40 000 units as of November 2011.[11] The album was also Nurhaliza's first to be digitally released through iTunes.[9] The album was officially released on September 26, at Shook Restaurant, Starhill Gallery, Bukit Bintang.[9]

Live performances

The first single from this album, "Falling in Love", which has a "strong fusion of fresh Eurodance and Spanish Flamenco",[5] debuted in one of her promotional concerts for SimplySiti in UiTM on July 9, 2011.[6] A week later, she performed it to audience from Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia at the 10th Anugerah Planet Muzik.[12] She then performed the single for the third time in her own Aidilfitri-themed television program, Gegar Raya Kampung Pening Lalat, on September 2, 2011.[13]
