ok, so the contacts for the reunion are looking up great.. the guys are almost settled, only left the girls.. looks like it'll be happening after all..
got ahli fiqir's latest song, feat pop shuvit, entitled Suara Kaki Lima (Voices of the Streets). as usual, i love their hip hop beats and mawar berduri's voice. her voice has that certain lenggok (swaying) that i'm certain is pairable with traditional malay songs. compared to other hip hop rnb malay groups, ahli fiqir stands out because of the message behind their song and the powerful malay words they use. take for example their song, Tik Tok Simpati (Tik Tok Sympathy). they highlight the fact that we see wars and disasters being reported on tv, and how we always feel sorry for them. but as soon as we switch off the tv, we just forget about it; the feeling doesn't last. and their break mentions something like, those people don't need our plastic sympathy; to them it's nothing more than rubbish. this is one thing about ahli fiqir that i really like. they deliver a strong topic through an upbeat song, and not only that, they're effective in conveying what they mean. when one of the male rappers was doing the break, the way he said "hanyalah secebis sampah [echoed]!!", that really shook me up. it's exciting that their songs are based on things like this, and also about the malays in a bid to get them to strive forward harder.reading live text commentary of the chelsea-arsenal match..it's only 30 minutes but things are already heating up..should be an interesting game..
