New Added || Shahnon Shah : Di Landa Cinta

SINGER-songwriter Shanon Shah may not be a household name yet but his debut album, Dilanda Cinta (Lovestruck), released in mid-March, will change all that.


He is definitely a promising star, perhaps the best thing to watch this year. Shanon is a very talented person with a beautiful voice. He’s got great charisma. And not only is he a singer and songwriter, he is also a social activist who champions human rights issues and gender

Shanon wrote all but one of the songs on this ten-track CD. He sounds confident on all of them. The songs all swell out of your speakers thanks to the lush arrangement and use of various musical elements. From little ethnic touches in “Api,” orchestral leanings in “Beku” to bluesy vibes on “Jurutera,” the man’s music is an all-encompassing giant rojak bowl of his varying influences.

In spite of the sonic grandeur, Shanon never loses his head, opting to combine the music with very personal lyrics. His love for making music is revealed most candidly on “Jurutera,” a tongue-in-cheek autobiographical ditty about how his music had to be put on hold while he became an engineer.

New Added || Mamat : Naluri Kasih

Setelah dua tahun tidak muncul dengan album baru, Mamat kini kembali dengan album barunya, Naluri Kasih, terbitan FMC yang sudah pun berada di pasaran sejak 12 Jun lalu.Album tersebut menghimpunkan tujuh buah lagu lama antaranya Mama Ku Ingin Pulang, Oh Fatimah dan Si Gadis Ayu.Hanya ada tiga lagu baru dalam album itu, iaitu Naluri Kasih, Di Garisan Ini dan Dewi Sukma.
Dewi Sukma merupakan single pertama yang telah pun diputar di corong-corong radio. Lagu tersebut pernah menduduki juara carta lagu KLFM menewaskan Mawi. Lagu Dewi Sukma menceritakan mengenai seorang jejaka yang cukup setia dan sayangkan percintaannya. Menyentuh mengenai harapan terhadap album barunya, sambil tersenyum Mamat berkata, “Saya yakin peminat dapat menerima album kali ini. Ini kerana album ini dihasilkan khas untuk peminat saya.”

Selepas keluar daripada kumpulan Exists, Mamat pernah muncul dengan dua album solo iaitu Mamat Dulu dan Sekarang dan Seminit Bagiku.Album Mamat Dulu dan Sekarang merupakan album kompilasi lagu-lagu Exists yang dinyanyikan semula oleh Mamat. Seminit Bagiku pula merupakan album yang memuatkan 10 lagu-lagu baru nyanyiannya.Menerusi album Seminit Bagiku, Mamat menampilkan muzik yang berbeza daripada penampilannya terdahulu. Tapi ternyata perubahan yang dibuat tidak mampu memenuhi kehendak pendengar sehingga album itu tidak begitu mendapat sambutan.

“Bersama Exists, muzik yang saya bawa lebih kepada balada tapi untuk album solo (Seminit Bagiku) saya cuba muzik rock progresif. Tapi saya lihat peminat tak dapat menerimanya,” kata Mamat ketika ditemui di studio Utusan Malaysia baru-baru ini.Atas sebab itu, Mamat kini kembali dengan album Naluri Kasih untuk memenuhi cita rasa peminatnya.Judulnya membayangkan rasa kasih Mamat kepada peminat sehingga sanggup kembali kepada irama balada walaupun jauh di sudut hatinya Mamat ingin mencari sedikit perubahan.

“Demi peminat, saya sanggup kembali menyanyikan lagu-lagu irama balada. Bagi saya permintaan peminat lebih penting untuk ditunaikan,” kata bapa kepada dua orang anak ini.

The band recruited a lead guitar player and began recording an album. Fans were drawn in quickly by the witty, snarling lyrics and emotional vocals, and Saving Jane’s popularity continued to grow.
