bought fik's new album today straight away after school, after umai sms-ed me and totally made me jealous with her taufik poster (bekas matair aku tauu.. tapi takpelah kan, dah jadi suami kau. haizz.. taufikk..)

anyway, listened to the whole CD twice, and i absolutely love it! maybe some of the songs are just the malay versions of some of his past english songs, but the way he carried these songs were just great! i think i like the malay versions better!

Untukmu (For You), the opening track, was the malay version of First, but it took me some time to recognise it because i was just amazed by the song. Teman Istimewa (Special Friend) was just sooo cute, especially the parts where Taufik 'spoke' into the phone to his 'special friend'. Usah Lepaskan (Don't Let Go), his previous malay hit, was given a new life with a special acoustic version. i was blown away. his voice sounds much, much better and the way the song was sang made it more sweeter than the original. and the original itself was very, very sweet that some people were so touched by it when they first heard it that they cried.

it's a lovely album, seriously. i'm not saying this just because i'm a Taufik fan, but this album is one of his best albums to date. just like All Because Of You, Teman Istimewa has Taufik stamped all over it from the voice to the composer to the producer.
