  • ‘Outta My Mind’ new single of Aini Mazalan

    Reflecting on the transition from past relationships to the exciting uncertainties of the future, Aini Mazalan’s most recent song goes into the idea of moving on and welcomes new beginnings. Written by Aini herself, the music flows naturally from her thoughts. The process of finishing the song became incredibly fast and effortless.

    “This song is about moving on from your past relationship and entering the next chapter of your life. I wrote this song in just one night, it is not related with my personal life. I just created random lyrics to fit the melody that I composed spontaneously.

    “When I first started I had completed crafting the first demo in June 2023, although I recorded the song later in October 2023. The process of finishing the song was a fast and short process,” she explained.

    In this fresh track, she is rocking more falsetto and whispers, giving it a unique vibe. She spilled the beans that it wasn’t really a walk in the park and had to hit that record button a few times to get it just right. And if listener listens closely, there’s a vocal layer party happening, adding that extra flavor to the sound.

    “This time along, my song uses a lot of falsetto and whispers, I find it pretty hard to control my voice and I have to re-record the song for a couple of times. The vocals also has a lot of layering if you listen to it carefully making it more interesting,” she added.

    Be ready for a musical roller coaster as Aini unveils an upbeat heartbreak anthem that seamlessly blends dance rhythms with a mix of motivation and melancholy. This single is a departure from her previous project, taking a bold step into uncharted territory. Initially hesitant to release it due to its divergence from the last single, Aini decided to embrace the change, delivering a fresh and catchy tune that marks a daring exploration into new sonic landscapes.

    “The listeners can expect an upbeat heartbreak song. It is a dance, motivational and sad at the same time. The single is an upbeat and catchy song. It’s quite different from my last project. I hesitated to release it at first because it is quite different from my previous single, but I think I wanna try something new,” she said.

    With a hand on approach to both writing and production, Aini takes the helm in crafting the latest release, expertly weaving together her musical vision. Collaborating with the talented producer Thodappakuchi on the bassline and drums, the song emerges as a seamless fusion of creative energies.

    “I wrote, compose and produce this song. The bassline & drums were composed by a producer called Thodappakuchi.”

    Eager to resonate with audiences in the vibrant South East Asia (SEA) markets, Aini aspires to captivate listeners, inviting them to enjoy and dance to the infectious beats of this track. This release marks not only a musical endeavor but a heartfelt connection with fans, fostering a shared experience through the rhythm and melody.

    “I really hope that this song will reach to the right audience especially in SEA markets, the more the merrier. I do hope that my listeners and fans enjoy the song and dance to it as much as I love creating the track,” Aini said.

    ‘Outta My Mind’ can be downloaded on iTunes and enjoyed through all music streaming platforms such as Apple Music, Deezer, KKBox, Spotify, YouTube and YouTube Music.

  • Selain Bidang Nyanyian, Once Mekel Bakal Menceburi Dunia Politik

    Once Mekel menyimpan keterujaan kerana pertama kali bergandingan di Malaysia dengan dua rakan vokalis yang telah mencipta nama mereka sendiri melalui keunikan vokal masing-masing.

    Once Mekel akan berkolaborasi bersama Bams Samsons dan Marcell melalui Konsert Trio Terhebat Vol. 1 yang dibawakan oleh Arena Muzik bersama sokongan Icon Entertainment.

    Penyanyi berusia 53 tahun itu mahu memastikan perkongsian pentas mereka bertiga akan memberi kepuasan kepada peminat.

    “Saya cukup teruja untuk berkongsi pentas Trio Terhebat bersama Bams Samsons dan Marcell. Jadi saat dilamar sahabat yang sangat saya percayai, Iman Tang dari Icon Entertainment saya tidak mengambil masa yang lama untuk bersetuju dengan konsepnya.

    “Seingat saya, saya pernah membuat persembahan bersama Marcell di Indonesia tetapi belum pernah dengan Bams.

    “Sudah tentu (Trio Terhebat) ini akan menjadi sebuah konsert yang menarik dengan setiap daripada kami mungkin akan mempersembahkan sekitar lapan sehingga 10 buah lagu”.

    “Setelah itu saya juga bakal mempunyai kesempatan membuat persembahan dengan band Marcell dan Bams Samsons,” kata penyanyi kelahiran Makkasar ini.

    Selain pertama kali membuat persembahan bersama Marcell dan Bams Samsons, walau di negara kelahiran mereka, Malaysia, Once mahu pendengar dan peminat mengenalinya sebagai figura solo dan berdiri di atas nama Once Mekel, bukan sebagai vokalis Dewa 19.

    Sedar bahawa namanya dan Dewa 19 tidak akan dapat dihapus dalam sejarah namun Once mahu peminat yang bakal hadir ke Konsert Trio Terhebat pada 4 Mei 2024 di Plenary Hall, Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre juga biasa dengan lagu-lagu hit miliknya sendiri.

    “Apa yang pasti saya akan mempersembahkan lagu dari album-album solo Once Mekel seperti Dealova, Matilah Kau, Simfoni Indah dan Ku Cinta Kau Apa Adanya,” kata Once.

    Vokalis yang terkenal dengan nada suara tinggi itu bagaimanapun tidak keberatan jika pihak penganjur iaitu Icon Entertainment mahu dia membawakan lagu Dewa 19.

    “Namun secara peribadi saya tidak berhasrat membawa lagu-lagu dari Dewa 19. Tergantung permintaan (penganjur),” ujar Once lagi.

    Ironi ketidakmahuan Once membawakan lagu-lagu Dewa 19 adalah kerana dihalang pengasas band fenomena itu, Ahmad Dhani. Dhani melarang membawa lagu-lagu Dewa 19 dalam persembahan solo Once kerana perihal royalti.

    Mengulas mengenai isu tersebut, Once menyifatkan untuk kes bersama Dewa 19, Dhani wajar dan berhak ke atas karya yang dihasilkan.

    “Cuma secara peribadi menurut saya jika seorang komposer menghalang penyanyi dengan lagu yang dibikin khas buat dirinya untuk dedikasikan di dalam persembahan, itu jadi tidak wajar.

    “Soalnya isu royalti adalah antara pencipta dengan penganjur bukan bersama penyanyi. Penyanyi hanya menyampaikan karya yang dibuat untuk mereka,” ulas Once.

    Dari Muzik ke Dunia Politik

    Sementara itu bercakap mengenai percubaan pertamanya masuk ke dunia politik menerusi pencalonan dari Parti Demokrasi Indonesia Perjuangan (PDIP) yang mewakili kawasan Daerah Khas Ibukota (DKI) Jakarta II meliputi Jakarta Selatan serta Jakarta Pusat pada Pemilu 2024, ada harapan besar yang disandarkan Once.

    Once yang merupakan lulusan undang-undang dari Universiti Indonesia berharap agar dapat memperbaiki sturuktur dalam dunia muzik selain membantu masyarakat dalam kelangsungan hidup sehari-hari.

    Sejak sekian lama sudah ramai rakan seangkatan dari dunia seni terjun ke dunia politik dan bersama mereka, Once mahu mencetuskan sesuatu yang lebih baik dan positif untuk industri kreatif Indonesia.

    “Saya mahu memperjuangkan isu berkaitan artis mengenai hak cipta serta undang-undang, banyak perlu diperjuang terutama dari segi hak cipta dan undang-undang untuk terus membangunkan industri kreatif Indonesia.

    “Dan selain itu saya mahu mendengar serta membantu masyarakat. Saya lebih senang anggap diri wakil rakyat daripada ahli politik kerana mahu dekat dengan rakyat,” katanya.

    Kini Once berdebar menanti keputusan sama ada beliau akan lulus atau tidak menerusi keputusan pada 20 Mac ini.

    “Setidaknya saya mahu dikenali sebagai wakil rakyat dengan imej bersih dan boleh dipercayai,” katanya yang masuk bertanding pada Februari lalu.

    Meski mungkin akan menggalas tanggungjawab baharu sebagai wakil rakyat, Once mengatakan sama sekali tidak akan meninggalkan dunia seni terutama sebagai penyanyi.

    Justeru dia berharap agar peminat tidak lupa hadir menyaksikan Konsert Trio Terhebat 1.0 bersama Marcell dan Bams di Planery Hall, Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre pada 4 Mei 2024 ini.

    Tiket-tiket dengan nama Kenangan Terindah ·MYR 1388.00 ; Dealova · MYR 558.00 ; Akhir Rasa Ini · MYR 458.00 ; Hilang Naluri · MYR 358.00 ; Semusim (S1) · MYR 308.00 boleh didapati menerusi www.ticket2u.com.

    Pemegang kad kredit Maybank akan menerima potongan harga sebanyak 12%. Manakala pemegang kad debit Maybank pula menerima potongan harga 10%.

    Saya mahu lagu ini membawa kebahagiaan dan harapan dalam menantikan ketibaan bulan Ramadan!” tambah Farhana. “Pesanan dalam video tersebut adalah mengenai hidup bermasyarakat dalam satu komuniti, perpaduan, memberi kembali dan mengalu-alukan semua orang tanpa mengira kepercayaan masing-masing. Ia melambangkan harapan, kebersamaan dan kegembiraan bersama satu sama lain. ‘Miracles can happen, it’s the holiest month’ yang bermaksud keajaiban boleh berlaku, ini adalah bulan paling suci’ – merupakan petikan coretan lirik yang diambil daripada lagu itu dan saya rasa keseluruhan pesanan daripada video saya mempamerkan perkara ini dengan cara yang indah.

    “Seingat saya, ada empat hari untuk saya membuat persediaan buat video ini, dari konsep hingga, dekorasi, penyediaan makanan, pakaian dan lain-lain. Tetapi Alhamdullilah saya mempunyai sokongan team dan komuniti yang hebat sehingga semuanya dapat dijalankan dengan begitu mudah. Kami memulakan penggambaran pada pukul 10 pagi di sebuah pusat pemberian makanan di London. Kami menampilkan aktiviti harian para peniaga yang akan mengatur barangan makanan sebelum diserahkan kepada masyarakat yang memerlukan. Adegan yang paling saya sukai adalah scene kami menjamu selera beramai-ramai, seperti kami sedang berbuka puasa bersama, berkongsi makanan, dan saling berkomunikasi dengan penuh kegembiraan. ”

    Farhana mendoakan agar lagu ini berjaya dengan cemerlang, dan orang ramai akan merasai keindahan lagu itu.

  • Keyakinan, Kecemerlangan, dan Semangat Pantang Menyerah Ziana Zain Menarik Minat CSA Academy untuk Memilihnya sebagai Duta Rasmi

    Keyakinan dalam kredibiliti dan integriti Ziana Zain, yang telah mencapai pencapaian cemerlang dalam industri hiburan tempatan, menjadi faktor utama yang mendorong CSA Academy untuk mengangkatnya sebagai duta rasmi organisasi terkemuka Malaysia. Objektifnya adalah membantu masyarakat merancang kewangan secara lebih tersusun dan mencapai kejayaan, sambil membebaskan diri dari beban hutang.

    CSA Academy juga meminjam liku perjalanan dan jerih Diva Pop ini dalam mencapai gemilang kejayaan yang dibina berbekal reputasi baik lebih dua dekad menjadi pelaku seni sebagai semangat yang diperlukan mereka untuk melakar sejarah dalam operasi yang dijalankan.

    “Mengapa tidak Ziana Zain? Kami percaya sebagai rakyat Malaysia meski berbangsa India atau Cina dan tentu sahaja kaum Melayu semua kenal siapa Ziana Zain. Beliau seorang legenda.

    “Penghibur yang telah menawan peminat dengan karisma dan vokalnya menerusi lagu seperti Madah Berhelah atau lakonan mantapnya dalam filem Maria Mariana, kami di CSA Academy yakin pemilihan Ziana Zain sebagai duta rasmi adalah tepat.

    “Reputasi, integriti dan kredibiliti serta semangat juang yang ada dalam diri Ziana Zain adalah seiring dengan matlamat kami di CSA Academy untuk menuju kegemilangan serupa,” ujar Pengasas & Pengarah Eksekutif CSA Academy, Dr Jay Ong.

    Selain Ziana, CSA Academy juga memiliki duta rasmi dalam kalangan individu berpengaruh termasuk Angkasawan Negara, Datuk Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor dan aktor berkaliber, Datuk Jalaluddin Hassan.

    Pelantikan pemilik nama sebenar Siti Roziana Zin sebagai duta rasmi CSA Academy berlangsung dengan jaya di Sunway Resort Hotel, Bandar Sunway, Petaling Jaya, Selangor pada 9 Mac 2024.

    Seiring pelantikan Ziana, 55, sebagai duta rasmi CSA Academy, sebuah lagu yang menyerap roh dan perjuangan tanpa erti putus asa, Semangat Wira digubah. Semangat Wira bakal dilancarkan pada Mei 2024.

    “Semangat Wira menggambarkan keseluruhan perjuangan tanpa lelah dan putus asa yang dinyanyikan Ziana Zain khusus buat seluruh ahli CSA Academy,” ujar Dr Jay lagi.

    Sementara itu Ziana menyifatkan pelantikan sebagai duta rasmi CSA Academy sebagai sebuah penghormatan bukan hanya untuk dirinya tetapi beliau mempunyai tanggungjawab besar untuk menyebarkan informasi tentang pengurusan kewangan atau beban hutang yang perlu diwar-warkan kepada semua.

    “Saya melihat pelantikan sebagai duta rasmi CSA Academy sebagai sebuah penghormatan yang besar bukan untuk saya secara peribadi tetapi bagaimana saya mampu mewakili, memikul tanggungjawab dan kepercayaan untuk menyebarkan informasi bagaimana kita semua mampu hidup bebas hutang melalui pengurusan kewangan yang betul bersama bantuan CSA Academy.

    “Sejujurnya saya sendiri suka perkara seperti ini (mewakili CSA Academy) kerana secara tidak langsung dapat bertemu ramai orang, dapat ilmu dan pengalaman baharu terutama bagaimana menguruskan kewangan.

    “Maklumlah kadang-kadang kita berbelanja tidak sepadan dengan hutang, jadi CSA Academy membantu dengan memberi ilmu bagaimana menguruskan semuanya dengan bijak.

    “Dengan pelantikan saya sebagai duta rasmi CSA Academy selepas Datuk Dr Sheikh Muszaphar dan Datuk Jalaluddin Hassan, saya harap lebih ramai lagi yang akan menyertai CSA Academy.

    “Tentu sahaja besar juga harapan saya dapat membantu CSA Academy mencapai matlamat untuk membuat masyarakat cakna tentang kewujudan mereka sekaligus memberi khidmat terbaik kepada yang memerlukan.

    “Apa yang penting CSA Academy menjamin gaya hidup bebas hutang untuk semua ahli,” ujar Ziana Zain.

    Terdahulu CSA Academy diumumkan selaku penaja utama Konsert Ziana Zain 2024 yang dijadual berlangsung di Mega Star Arena, Kuala Lumpur pada 25 Mei 2024.

    “The V series has long been associated with a sleek and minimalist aesthetic. With the vivo V30 Series, we’ve achieved a remarkable feat of engineering by integrating a 5000 mAh 4-Year Durable Battery into its signature slim frame, ensuring extended battery life without sacrificing style. Additionally, we’ve enhanced the Aura Light Portrait 3.0 feature, and partnered with ZEISS to provide users with a powerful tool to effortlessly capture striking portraits, even in low-light night conditions,” said Mike Xu, CEO of vivo Malaysia.

    Studio-level portrait photography at your fingertips

    The vivo V30 Series enhances portrait photography with the upgraded Aura Light Portrait 3.0, improving hardware and software for studio-like precision in addressing common photography issues like low light and colour accuracy. The Aura Light 3.0 offers a larger, softer light source, 19 times larger and 50 times softer than a standard flash, ensuring vivid details and delicate skin texture preservation.

    In addition, the integrated Smart Colour Temperature Adjustment feature enables the device to intelligently identify and adjust the colour temperature based on the subject’s surroundings, offering a nearly 20% broader colour temperature range compared with previous iterations. As a result, the ambient light does not affect the subject’s features and the colours tones are harmonious with the environment.

    The V30 Series features Distance-Sensitive Lighting, adjusting Aura Light 3.0 brightness based on subject distance in real-time for perfectly-lit portraits. When close, the light is soft and balanced; when further away, it brightens for effortless photography. Aura Light 3.0 enhances creative modes like Food Mode, capturing mouth-watering details in dim lighting with 3D virtual fill light.

    Redefining imaging capabilities with a powerful camera setup

    The vivo V30 series boasts a strong camera system, featuring a partnership with ZEISS Optic for the vivo V30 Pro. The camera setup includes a VCS True Color Main Camera, a 50 MP AF Ultra Wide-Angle Camera, and a 50 MP AF Group Selfie Camera. To enhance night scene photography, the 50 MP VCS True Color Main Camera is equipped with a 1/1.55″ sensor, providing flagship-level light sensitivity, and it is supported by advanced Optical Image Stabilisation.

    In a substantial leap toward improving photo quality in slim smartphones, vivo has played a pivotal role in redesigning the image sensor. This redesign is based on vivo’s human eye bionic standards which involves refining the filter materials and pixel optical structure through a collaborative effort with the sensor manufacturer. The vivo-exclusive Camera-Bionic Spectrum (VCS) technology enables the camera’s vision to be closer to that of a human eye which improves image purity by 25% and colour reproduction by 15% compared to the previous generation.

    Furthermore, the 50 MP AF Ultra Wide-Angle Camera comes with Auto Focus and a wide 119° angle, enabling users to effortlessly capture vast landscapes or special moments seamlessly. This marks the V series’ inaugural 50 MP ultra wide-angle camera with Auto Focus, presenting a notable 6.25 times higher pixel count than the more typical 8 MP wide-angle cameras. The camera is also equipped with AI Group Portrait functionality for group photos, ensuring the clarity of up to 30 individuals in the portrait. To capture vibrant selfies with friends and family, the 50 MP AF Group Selfie Camera supports Auto Focus and a wide angle of 92°, accommodating more subjects comfortably in the frame.

    Effortless video creation with innovation mode and tools

    The vivo V30 series enables users to effortlessly unleash their creativity, offering the necessary tools for shooting and editing vlogs at a professional level with ease. The video feature, Aura Light Portrait 3.0, enhances the clarity of videos in low-light settings, resulting in sharper portraits and brighter night scenes.

    The Hybrid Image Stabilization (combining OIS + EIS) feature on the device excels by executing thousands of stabilisation computations per second, guaranteeing exceptionally smooth and stable footage. Furthermore, the robust Micro Movie feature serves as a comprehensive solution for video creation, presenting a range of video effects and optimization features to streamline the editing process.

    Ingenious slim and light design with a simple and elegant aesthetic

    The vivo V30 series is a perfect fusion of style and functionality, seamlessly combining a slim and lightweight design with a powerful 5000 mAh 4-year durable battery, making it vivo’s slimmest phone at just 7.45 mm. The innovative One-Piece Encapsulation Technique allows for the integration of a high-capacity battery into the slim profile by reconfiguring the casing, creating additional space for battery cells. This results in a sleek and stylish device that doesn’t compromise on aesthetics while delivering exceptional battery life. Compared to other smartphones with 5000 mAh batteries, the vivo V30 series is 12% thinner on average, highlighting its dedication to both a visually appealing design and long-lasting performance. The comfortable Cushioning Structure 3D curved screen design enhances grip, making the vivo V30 series not only stylish but also easy to hold for extended periods.

    Moreover, the vivo V30 series introduces innovative advancements in Color, Material, and Finish (CMF), providing users with a fresh design experience featuring a diverse range of captivating colours and textures. Inspired by the iconic simplicity and elegance of the vivo V series, the vivo V30 series incorporates unique process innovations to enhance each colour variant. Notably, the Petal White edition showcases a 3D petal pattern achieved by engraving 13 million tangent lines onto the surface using photolithography, drawing inspiration from blooming petals.

    The Aquamarine edition features a greenish-blue hue on a glass surface, enhanced with a water ripple pattern created through a Rippling Magnetic Particle process. This process involves precise control of tiny magnetic particles within flowing resin, creating a sparkling water ripple effect that adds movement and fluidity to the design. Additionally, the vivo V30 series also includes the timeless Noble Black variant crafted with Fluorite AG Glass for a classic touch.

    Impeccable performance and extended battery life for all-day  entertainment

    Introducing innovative battery technology, the vivo V30 series has effectively doubled its battery lifespan, maintaining over 80% of its capacity even after 1600 charge-discharge cycles, resulting in a four-year battery lifespan. With its 5000 mAh (TYP) 4-year durable battery, the vivo V30 series supports up to 23 hours of standby time and achieves a full charge in just 48 minutes, thanks to the 80W FlashCharge technology. Paired with the Qualcomm Snapdragon® 7 Gen 3 processor and enhanced by the upgraded Extended RAM 4.0 technology, this series ensures smooth and uninterrupted performance, providing users with an efficient multitasking experience.

    The vivo V30 series is equipped with a 120 Hz 1.5K AMOLED Display, delivering a breathtaking visual experience ideal for entertainment. The ultra-clear AMOLED display, along with a Cushioning Structure 3D Curved Screen and a 120 Hz refresh rate, ensures seamless visuals. The display remains clear and visible even in bright light, boasting an impressive brightness of 2800 nits. Alongside remarkable visuals, users also benefit from the flagship-level eye protection, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable viewing experience for extended periods.

    For maximum performance, the vivo V30 series features an Ultra Large Smart Cooling System, incorporating a spacious vapour chamber of 3002 mm2 for efficient multi-layer heat dissipation. With 11 built-in temperature sensors enabling real-time detection, the V30 excels in demanding scenarios, such as mobile gaming, delivering smooth and stable performance.

    In addition, the device incorporates a comprehensive cushioning structure to enhance drop resistance, safeguarding all internal and external components. A high-performance “Schott α” glass ensures exceptional screen strength, while the rear camera module’s 2.5D glass lens is shielded by a raised metal bezel for added protection. Additionally, alloy material reinforces the device’s corners, maintaining its structural integrity. With an IP54 rating for dust and water resistance, the vivo V30 series offers enhanced durability and reliability.
