    “Belum Mulai” lagu terbaru Insomniacks dan Nabila Taqiyyah

    Kerjasama kemas antara kumpulan pop terkenal, Insomniacks ​​dan penyanyi berbakat Nabila Taqiyyah telah melahirkan single terbaru mereka, “Belum Mulai”. Dikeluarkan di bawah naungan Universal Music Indonesia dan Universal Music Malaysia, lagu ini menjanjikan rasa segar untuk kedua-dua pemuzik.

    Nabila Taqiyyah menunjukkan sisi muzikalnya yang berbeza menerusi lagu-lagu bergenre band ini, manakala Insomniacks ​​mencuba nasib dengan mengeluarkan lagu berbahasa Indonesia buat pertama kali.

    “Adalah satu penghormatan untuk berkolaborasi dengan Nabila. Profesionalisme dan bakatnya yang luar biasa membuatkan proses rakaman dan pembikinan muzik video itu sangat menyeronokkan. Sejak pertama kali mendengar suaranya, kami pasti Nabila menjadi elemen penting dalam lagu ini, ” kata ahli Insomniacks ​​itu.

    Nabila turut meluahkan semangatnya, “Saya amat gembira kerana dapat berkolaborasi lebih-lebih lagi ini kali pertama saya bekerjasama dengan pemuzik dari Malaysia. Keseluruhan proses produksi berjalan dengan lancar dan saya berharap pendengar dapat menikmati lagu ini sama seperti kami menikmatinya.”

    Lagu “Belum Mulai” digubah oleh Clara Riva dan S/EEK, duo komposer yang telah mencipta banyak lagu hit untuk pemuzik tempatan. Lirik lagu ini mengisahkan tentang seseorang yang terpaksa melepaskan cintanya sebelum mekar dengan pelbagai sebab.

    Dari segi muzikal, “Belum Mulai” menggabungkan irama balada pop lembut dengan sentuhan rock bertenaga. Muzik video tersebut tidak kurang menariknya, memaparkan pemandangan alam Yogyakarta yang mendamaikan mata. Dihasilkan oleh Kolmar Films dan diarahkan oleh Ido Aruan, video ini merupakan pengalaman yang tidak dapat dilupakan bagi Insomniacks ​​yang pertama kali melawat Yogyakarta.

    Kedua-dua Insomniacks ​​dan Nabila berharap lagu ini diterima oleh pencinta muzik di Malaysia dan Indonesia. “Semoga lagu ini dapat menjadi teman kepada mereka yang melalui kisah serupa,” harap Nabila.

    Single “Belum Mulai” kini boleh dinikmati di semua platform muzik digital, manakala video muzik telah disiarkan di saluran YouTube Insomniacks.

    Lagu “Poligami” Eddie Hamid: Inspirasi dari Kes Sebenar,kes panas dan Mesej untuk Lelaki

    Eddie Hamid, seorang komposer dan penyanyi terkenal, kembali dengan lagu kontroversi terbarunya, “Poligami”. Lagu bergenre ‘pop dance’ dengan sentuhan dialek Kelantan ini telah mencetuskan perbincangan mengenai isu poligami yang masih relevan dalam masyarakat.

    Lagu “Poligami” menampilkan duet Eddie Hamid bersama Man Khan dan Aris Kapilla, serta penampilan istimewa pelakon Kamarool Haji Yusoff, yang terkenal dengan watak Cik Man MC dalam filem ‘Rock Oo!’. Kerjasama unik ini memberikan warna tersendiri pada lagu yang menceritakan tentang kerumitan hubungan poligami.

    Eddie Hamid mendedahkan bahawa lagu ini diilhamkan daripada berita yang tersebar luas mengenai poligami dan kafir. Beliau ingin mengetengahkan akibat dan tanggungjawab berat yang harus dipikul oleh seorang lelaki yang memilih jalan poligami. Lagu ini bukan justifikasi, sebaliknya jemputan untuk merenung dan memahami kerumitan isu ini.

    Lirik lagu “Poligami” ditulis dalam dialek Kelantan yang kuat oleh Man Khan, Mama Anna, Te Ha, dan Jaju. Tujuan memilih dialek ini adalah untuk menjangkau khalayak yang lebih luas, memandangkan semakin populariti lagu dalam dialek Kelantan.

    Proses rakaman lagu ini dijalankan secara berasingan di Nar Studio, Kuala Lumpur, dan MR Sound Lab, Kota Bharu. Eddie Hamid dan Belle Fatah mengerjakan muzik di Kuala Lumpur, manakala Aris Kapilla dan Man Khan merakam vokal di Kota Bharu.

    Aris Kapilla dan Man Khan menyatakan kegembiraan mereka kerana terlibat dalam projek ini. Bagi mereka, lagu ini bukan sekadar karya seni, malah satu bentuk sumbangan untuk melestarikan budaya serantau dan mencetuskan dialog tentang isu sosial yang penting.

    Lagu “Poligami” telah dikeluarkan pada 14 Jun 2024 dan boleh didengari di pelbagai platform penstriman muzik digital. Video muzik rasmi juga boleh didapati di saluran YouTube Kijang Music. Dengan melodi yang menarik, lirik yang menggugah, dan mesej yang kuat, “Poligami” bersedia untuk memeriahkan industri muzik dan mengundang perdebatan dalam masyarakat.

  • [Galaxy History ②] Galaxy Buds Series Evolution: Pioneering Wireless Listening Innovation

    [Galaxy History ②] Galaxy Buds Series Evolution: Pioneering Wireless Listening Innovation

    Wireless earphones have become essential accessories for anyone active and on the go including music lovers, students and office workers. Even though people have listened to music through wired earphones for decades, the arrival of wireless ones rapidly changed people’s behaviour thanks to the freedom of movement, ease of connection and wealth of features packed into their compact frame.

     Samsung’s Galaxy Buds series distinguishes itself from other wireless earbuds available on the market through enhanced sound quality, comfortable fit and a smarter sound experience powered by Galaxy AI. Samsung Newsroom revisited the history of the Galaxy Buds series — a device that has become a must-have item with smartphones.

     [2019] Galaxy Buds

    Focusing on the Essentials: The Beginning of Galaxy Wireless Earbuds

    In February 2019, Samsung launched the wireless Galaxy Buds for consumers who value a more convenient and exciting lifestyle. Accented with a glossy texture and round design, the wearable was compact enough to conveniently fit into the user’s pocket. The earbuds could also be secured with wingtips once placed in the ear, so they don’t slip out during intensive exercise.

     However, the most impressive feature was sound quality — the essence of earbuds. Samsung focused on enriching audio so users could hear crystal-clear sound regardless of their environment. The Galaxy Buds featured technology from Harman’s premium acoustic brand AKG to deliver a rich auditory experience that resembled the original sound. Adaptive Dual Microphone technology was another key to the clear sound quality whereby two mics located on the inside and outside of each earbud adjusted to ambient noise. Users could expect smooth sound quality even when taking phone calls in noisy public places.

     The portable Galaxy Buds boasted a long-lasting battery life. On a single charge, these earbuds provided up to 6 hours of play time or up to 5 hours of talk time. In addition, users could enjoy up to 13 hours of music playback with a dedicated charging case. Through the Galaxy S10’s Wireless PowerShare feature, the Galaxy Buds could be charged using the smartphone as well.

    [2020] Galaxy Buds+

    Clearer Sound, Longer Hours of Use

    Introduced in February 2020, the Galaxy Buds+ showcased enhanced sound quality. Featuring 2-way speakers with a tweeter for crisp, clear highs and a woofer for powerful bass, these earbuds created a balanced sound. The three mics — one inside and two outside — reduced external noise while capturing the user’s voice accurately to allow for clear communication in any environment.

     The Galaxy Buds+ provided up to 11 hours of play time on a single charge. Users could enjoy 11 additional hours with the charging case for a total of 22 hours. Through Android and iOS device compatibility, more people could enjoy the latest features of the Galaxy Buds+.

     [2021] Galaxy Buds Pro

    Evolved Noise Canceling, Dressed in Sustainable Materials

    As a response to the expanding wireless earbuds market, Samsung introduced the Galaxy Buds Pro in January 2021. Offering premium performance, these wearables highlighted the intelligent Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) feature — reducing background noise significantly so users can dial the world up or down. When the Buds Pro recognized a user’s voice, the device would automatically switch to Ambient sound and adjust the music volume. By reducing unnecessary noise, users could tune into what they really wanted to hear.

     For unparalleled sound quality, Samsung innovated both the interior and exterior design. The new structure minimized the effect of wind for clearer sound, and the 2-way speaker delivered dynamic audio across the entire sound range. By incorporating recycled polycarbonate (PC) into some components of the earbuds, the Galaxy Buds Pro provided the same level of performance and durability as the original but in a new, sustainable design.

    [2021] Galaxy Buds2

    Smaller, Lighter Earbuds in Sync With Life

    Samsung launched the smallest and lightest earbuds in the Galaxy Buds series with Galaxy Buds2 in August 2021. Each earbud only weighed 5 grams, making the wearable perfect for users with active lifestyles. Equipped with 2-way dynamic speakers, Active Noise Canceling (ANC) and a new machine learning-based solution that responded to different noise levels, the Galaxy Buds2 effectively blocked out background noise during phone calls to deliver a clear voice to the person on the other line.

    Since earbuds are used throughout the day, the Galaxy Buds2 offered ear tips in three sizes and an Earbud Fit Test to ensure users could comfortably wear the device for long periods. If the earbuds didn’t fit snugly, the test result would indicate a “poor fit” and give users instructions on how to adjust. The Auto Switch feature allowed users to freely and conveniently switch connection between their Galaxy devices including smartphones, watches or tablets without disconnecting their Galaxy Buds2 each time.

    [2022] Galaxy Buds2 Pro

    Taking Immersive Sound to the Next Level: An Expansion of Seamless Connectivity

    Released in August 2022, the Galaxy Buds2 Pro offered the most immersive sound experience in the Galaxy Buds series. Complete with High-Dynamic Range and wireless 24-bit high fidelity (Hi-Fi) audio, the earbuds reimagined how users listen to music. The 360 Audio Recording feature allowed users to vividly capture surrounding sound on smartphone-recorded videos, delivering multi-dimensional audio that makes users feel as if they are actually inside the video.

     The Galaxy Buds2 Pro earbuds were designed to be 15% smaller with an ergonomic design, so users could watch media content more comfortably. 

     The Next-Generation Galaxy Buds Will Be…

    This February, Samsung released a software update for the Galaxy Buds series. Now, users can enjoy the Galaxy S24 series’ AI technology along with various other hands-free AI features on the Galaxy Buds series. In addition, the update strengthened the Samsung device ecosystem experience by connecting the Galaxy Buds series to more products including the Galaxy Book4 series, Samsung TVs and more.

     Though sound cannot be seen, it has the power to evoke emotions, trigger memories and stimulate people. As the Galaxy Buds series constantly evolves to reflect the values and needs of users, Samsung is changing the listening experience by delivering earbuds with comfortable wearability that produce quality sound and expand connectivity. The Galaxy Buds series will continue to serve as a friendly medium — allowing users to enter a new world of sound every time they wear their earbuds.

  • “Ku Percaya”: Pelancaran Terbaru oleh Kat Roshan

    Kat Roshan, penyanyi dan penulis lagu yang tengah meraih populariti, telah meluncurkan single terbarunya yang berjudul “Ku Percaya.” Lagu ini mengisahkan perjalanan emosi yang mendalam tentang cinta tak berbalas dari sudut pandang seorang gadis yang yakin dia telah menemukan cinta sejatinya, namun akhirnya berhadapan dengan kekecewaan. “Ku Percaya” menyampaikan gabungan emosi dari hubungan yang, walaupun penuh keindahan dan keharmonian, akhirnya berakhir dengan rasa kecewa dan penyesalan, mencerminkan harapan yang tidak terwujud.

    Lagu “Ku Percaya” menggambarkan momen kebahagiaan sementara dan perpisahan yang tidak diinginkan antara dua jiwa yang bertemu namun tidak dapat bersatu. Liriknya mencerminkan esensi pengalaman cinta yang mendalam yang berakhir dengan kekecewaan, sambil memberikan pengajaran penting dalam perjalanan hidup.

    “Lagu ini mengisahkan tentang tantangan dalam cinta dan hubungan,” jelas Kat. “Ia mencerminkan pengalaman umum berhadapan dengan cinta romantis yang tidak kekal, serta pentingnya belajar dari pengalaman tersebut daripada terjebak dalam penyesalan.”

    Dalam video lirik “Ku Percaya,” Kat ditampilkan dalam narasi emosional tentang watak yang terjebak dalam keraguan antara realiti dan fantasi setelah kehilangan cinta. Walaupun tema keseluruhan agak sedih, tempo lagu ini tetap ceria, menggambarkan usaha watak utama untuk menghadapi kenyataan.

  • Galaxy Watch Series Evolution: Redefining the Future of Smartwatches

    Galaxy Watch Series Evolution: Redefining the Future of Smartwatches

    Before smartwatches, there was only one reason for anyone to look at their watch. Now, telling time is just one of a myriad of smartwatch functions. People use smartwatches to check time, keep track of important health markers, communicate with friends, choose watch faces for the day and enjoy various content from their wrists.

    Samsung Newsroom traced the evolution of the Galaxy Watch series over the past decade — as the device transcended its traditional role and redefined what it meant to be a watch.

     Thinking Outside the Box: Opening a New Era of Smartwatch

    Unveiled in September 2013, the revolutionary Galaxy Gear brought the Galaxy experience closer to everyday life. The wearable featured a 41.4-millimeter display that allowed users to make and receive calls, schedule events, set alarms and check the weather with their voice. Photos and short videos could be captured in the moment without smartphones, thanks to the 1.9-megapixel camera attached to the strap and the ingenious Memographer feature. More than a wristwatch, the Galaxy Gear set the stage for a new era of smartwatches.

     Samsung launched the second-generation Samsung Gear2 in February 2014. Lighter and thinner than its predecessor, this device was equipped with a longer-lasting battery and packed with more features that could be used without a smartphone. Users could monitor their heart rate and track their exercise in real time with the heart rate sensor or turn the watch into a standalone music player with the embedded file storage. The Samsung Gear2 Neo was introduced at the same time, offering consumers an additional option with all the same features of the Samsung Gear2 except the camera.

     Released in 2014, the Samsung Gear S was Samsung’s first smartwatch to feature a large, curved Super AMOLED display that wrapped around the user’s wrist — supporting 3G and Wi-Fi without a smartphone connection. The Samsung Gear S2, its 2015 successor, was Samsung’s first smartwatch with a circular display and the rotating bezel that is now a hallmark of the Galaxy Watch Classic lineup.

    In 2016, Samsung launched the Samsung Gear S3 which turned heads with an elegant design inspired by traditional timepieces and more innovative functions that improved daily life. The Always On Display feature continuously showed the time on users’ wrists with the Super AMOLED display that supports 16 million colors. Featuring a built-in speaker and microphone, the device allowed users to take calls on speakerphone without a Bluetooth headset. Meanwhile, the GPS helped users record exercise history or check routes on maps without a smartphone.

    Samsung Gear Sport, the last model in the Samsung Gear series, offered a sporty design for those with an active lifestyle. Boasting 5 ATM water resistance, the watch could be worn while swimming. Improved water resistance functions included Water lock mode which prevents unintentional activation of the touchscreen in strong currents.

    Galaxy Watch: A New Partner for Balanced Lifestyles

    In August 2018, the Galaxy Watch series was born. This rebrand reflected the diverse and ever-expanding functions of a smartwatch in today’s world — as a health tracker, personal assistant, fashion accessory and much more. To enhance the user experience and highlight Samsung’s smartwatch identity, the wearable maintained the signature circular bezel from previous models but added an hourly alarm and ticking sound of the second hand for the first time. Available in three colors and 42- and 46-millimeter sizes, this versatile device offered stress management and sleep management features to enhance users’ health and wellness. Users could keep track of workouts from 39 different kinds of exercises as well, more than any other watch on the market at the time.

    Samsung launched a new lineup of smartwatches in February 2019 with the Galaxy Watch Active, specifically designed for users with active lifestyles. Boasting a 28.1-millimeter Super AMOLED display, this watch retained the signature circular shape but eliminated the bezel and used aluminum to decrease the weight by 25 grams. The 20-millimeter watchband made of flexible fluoroelastomer offered fashion-conscious users a variety of options to express their individuality. On the other hand, health-conscious users could track their exercise, sleep, stress levels and blood pressure in real time — they could even check how long they spent in rapid-eye movement (REM) sleep versus the other three sleep stages.

     In August 2019, the Galaxy Watch Active2 took personalized health and wellness management to the next level for people seeking healthier lifestyles. Apart from the rotating bezel and other user experience enhancements, the My Style feature provided more stylish, customized watch faces to users. The wearable was the perfect partner in helping users adopt healthier and more balanced lifestyles through the upgraded stress and sleep management functions as well as the exercise feature that could track more than 39 different types of workouts. Moreover, the upgraded Galaxy ecosystem improved connectivity and everyday convenience.

     A New Era: Integrated Healthcare Is Here

    After two years, Samsung brought health seekers the Galaxy Watch3 in August 2020. Maintaining the circular bezel made of stainless steel, users could choose from a larger 41- or 45-millimeter display with a lighter, thinner body. For the first time in Galaxy history, Samsung added an even lighter, stronger and more premium model made of titanium. The device provided an integrated healthcare experience from the wrist with health, fitness, sleep management and blood pressure monitoring. In addition, Samsung introduced electrocardiogram (ECG) readings and a blood oxygen feature to track oxygen saturation over time.

    The Galaxy Watch4 series redefined the smartwatch experience in August 2021 — with two models, the modern and minimalistic Galaxy Watch4 and the more traditional Galaxy Watch4 Classic featuring the signature rotating bezel. Launched for the first time, the BioActive Sensor measured various health indicators such as blood pressure, ECG and blood oxygen saturation levels more accurately than the previous watch. Users wanting more holistic health insights could measure their body composition by simply placing two fingers on the smartwatch to learn how to manage and achieve their health goals. The wearable was equipped with the new Wear OS, developed jointly with Google, so that users could access a larger variety of applications. Meanwhile, the new One UI Watch update significantly enhanced the user experience by seamlessly connecting the watch with Samsung smartphones, wireless earbuds and other devices.

    Above Wrist: A Partner To Better Know Yourself

    In August 2022, Samsung opened the next chapter of smartwatches with the Galaxy Watch5 series. Optimal for outdoor sports, the Galaxy Watch5 Pro was newly introduced in this lineup. The more advanced Samsung BioActive Sensor improved the accuracy of body composition, heart rate and ECG monitoring measurements. Notably, a newly equipped temperature sensor on the Galaxy Watch5 provided skin temperature-based predictions to help women conveniently track their menstrual cycles.

     Samsung once again stood by its health-seeking users with the Galaxy Watch6 series, unveiled in July 2023. This wearable offers holistic health features to provide more personalized, innovative health solutions to users who want to better manage their health. Complete with a slimmer bezel, the display is about 20% larger than its predecessors to help users see more information at a glance. Galaxy Watch6 is designed with the signature circular design, whereas the Galaxy Watch6 Classic features a rotating bezel reminiscent of analog watches. A new button replaced the spring-bar structure, allowing users to easily switch their watchbands with one click.

     With an even more sensitive BioActive sensor and a high-performance processor, health metrics became more specialized — ranging from sleep management and fitness coaching to heart health monitoring.

    An AI-Based Galaxy Health Experience and the Next-Generation Watch

    Samsung unveiled One UI 6 Watch in May 2024. With this, the company has successfully transformed the Galaxy Watch into a total digital healthcare assistant that measures indicators such as heart rate, sleep patterns and more. Health insights are more comprehensive and detailed than ever before, and users now receive personalized messages powered by AI to motivate them to reach their health goals. Moreover, the upcoming Galaxy Watch series to be released in the second half of this year will measure Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs) with an updated BioActive Sensor that features light-emitting diodes (LEDs) in more colors and newly designed photodiodes.

    Samsung is constantly expanding its horizons and will continue to do so. Each new wearable not only offers basic watch functions but also delivers services that younger generations have come to expect. Striving to become the closest partner that values every exciting and precious moment in each user’s life, Samsung has pushed the boundaries of the smartwatch for more than a decade — and the best is yet to come.
