assalamualaikum.
starting from this week, i would choose a band and give them a review,ermm about their music, their album, and so on, weekly of course. coz i think this should be a good way too, to promote our local band (tu pon kalo ade oang bace blog aku la kan haha).
so our first lucky band is.....give it up to Yuna Room Records!!!
erm...actually Yuna is not a band, she's a solo singer...but, she usually perform on stage as a band- her guitarist, drummer and all are all dikidnap from other band yg mmg dh exist like seven collar tshirt and oh chentaku. so si Yuna ni gerak dlm band jgk la, it's juz that her band is actually not her's. err, u got me?
ok, few things bout her profile. name sebenar is Yunalis, she's from kuantan, currently in SJ, havent signing up to any record label, (i really think she should set up her own record label...but yeah, i guess money is the big issue here), released few demos (i think ade due..and both sold out in juz few weeks je. x sempat pon nk suh my friend grab one.darn), much influence by Bob Dylan, Sia, Alanis Morrisette, Fiona Apple, Tori Amos, Janis Joplin, Feist and Marketa Irglova.
her genre of music is basically Alternative/ Acoustic/ Folk Rock. i would say she sounds much like norah jones...but nicer and softer and somewhat...lazier. but it is the nice 'lazy' voice. hehe. she usually accepts offers to perform in any events, dinner...majlis nak grads ke, performance kat ur uni or college..gigs...mcm tu la.
her most popular song among malays i think would be Dan Sebenarnya, but Yuna actually composed more english songs than malay. her english songs yg famous are 'Deeper Conversation, After Midnite, Blue Sands' and many more. personally, i like these songs- titled Fix It, Greek Goddess, Rocket, and few songs that i dont even know what were the titles.
why did i chose her to be my first band of the week? simple. because she used to be my senior back in my secondary school and her mother used to be the chemistry teacher in my school. haha xde la. she might be my senior, but i chose her because of her smooth songs, her soothing voice and without a doubt, she is one promising talent. how i wish i could play guitar as good as her.
ok guyz, tak caye my review? check it out yourself then =)
