Malaysian girl group Dolla returns after a year with fresh, experimental sound in ‘MWA!' (VIDEO)
KUALA LUMPUR, May 11 — After not releasing any new song for a year, popular Malaysian girl group Dolla returns with their latest single, 'MWA!'.
'MWA!', created by Chelsea Warner, Gaston, Roland Lim Shi Jie, and the three members of Dolla — Tabby, Sabronzo and Angel — features a fresh and experimental sound that is expected to capture the attention of fans.
Angel said they were very excited to collaborate once again with the creative team as it offered them a chance to explore new musical ideas that were more challenging and fun.
'After a year without releasing a single due to being busy with concerts and several other projects, this year we successfully released 'MWA!' for our beloved fans. This song feels like a rebranding of our identity.
'The recording session also went very smoothly. We experimented a lot with different sounds and structures, and the detailed involvement of every Dolla member this time made the creative process even more meaningful,' she said at a press conference after the launch of their new single in Bukit Bintang here.
She also said the official music video for 'MWA!', with a duration of two minutes and 20 seconds and directed by Jasmine Wong, is different from their previous videos, taking viewers on a thrilling narrative of action and illusion from Dolla.
Elaborating on the music video, Angel said each Dolla member portrays a unique character, with Sabronzo appearing as a card player and Tabby as the mastermind, while she herself takes on the role of an agile and bold fighter.
'This time, the concept is wilder and unhinged, very different from anything we've done before,' she said.
Meanwhile, Tabby said 'MWA!' marks the beginning of many new works that Dolla will be presenting throughout the year.
'We consider this year the 'year of Dolla songs' because many more tracks will be released. We can't wait to bring them to the stage and hope they will attract more listeners because the songs are very fresh and different,' she said. — Bernama

‘Cancer sucks, but i'm holding on to early': Jessie J reveals breast cancer battle
LONDON, June 4 — British singer Jessie J said she has been diagnosed with 'early breast cancer' and plans on undergoing surgery following her performance at this month's Summertime Ball, German Press Agency (dpa) reported. The Price Tag singer, 37, said in an Instagram video she has spent much of her recent time 'in and out of tests.' 'I was diagnosed with early breast cancer,' she said. 'Cancer sucks in any form, but I'm holding on to the word 'early.' 'It's a very dramatic way to get a boob job. I am going to disappear for a bit after Summertime Ball to have my surgery, and I will come back with massive tits and more music.' Jessie, whose full name is Jessica Cornish, said she announced her diagnosis publicly to help her process the news and to show solidarity with others who are going through a similar experience. 'I just wanted to be open and share it,' she said. 'One, because, selfishly, I do not talk about it enough. I'm not processing it because I'm working so hard. 'I also know how much sharing in the past has helped me with other people giving me their love and support and also their own stories. I'm an open book. 'It breaks my heart that so many people are going through so much similar and worse—that's the bit that kills me.' She continued: 'The timing of it has been mad but also beautiful and given me this incredible perspective in this time. 'But honestly I need to process it and talk about it and, I need a hug. You have loved me through all my good and hard times. And I don't want this to be any different.' Jessie welcomed her son Sky Safir Cornish Colman in 2023, having miscarried in November 2021. She has battled with ill health throughout her life, having been diagnosed with a heart condition at eight, suffering a minor stroke at 18, and having briefly gone deaf in 2020. Jessie is scheduled to perform at Capital's Summertime Ball at Wembley Stadium on Sunday, June 15. — Bernama-dpa
