Sabah's very own hip-hop star Jaclyn Chia joins up with fellow East Malaysian singer Yunk G for new single 'Redam'

THE local music scene is rocking this year with many Malaysian legends returning to the limelight and the younger set coming out with unique styles and songs that are winning the hearts of the fans. And here comes another excellent single that is set to rock the local scene with the release of the latest duet single entitled "Redam", the result of a special collaboration between the rising Sabah singer and rapper, Jaclyn Chia, featuring Yunk G. The single "Redam" is an introspective ballad with acoustic and rap elements that takes listeners into the depths of emotion - about wounds, pain, and efforts to suppress unspoken feelings. "Redam" is also a sonic narrative about the inner turmoil of a person who is faced with loss and emotional trauma, but chooses to remain standing even though his heart has long been broken. And the song is also winning many fans and is well-followed on digital platforms, including on YouTube. "This song is very personal for me and also has some of my own experiences in life. It's like writing a letter to myself after going through hurt in life, but still trying to live on," said Jaclyn Chia about the inspiration behind this song. For the record, Jaclyn Chia has also sung a song with the contemporary Joget Moden tempo entitled "Joget Mengikut Rasa", composed by Shaifulhan and lyrics by Shahab, which was produced under Luncai Emas. The singer was also crowned the champion during the RTM Kemuncak Bintang Ai FM 2024 competition. The single "Redam" was also produced with the support of the Malaysian Ministry of Communications through the Creative Fund (Mycreative Ventures), a sign of support for the original work of local musicians. Composed by Shaiffulhan Saidin and lyrics written by D'Laila under the Zirbad Music Production banner, while Luncai Emas acts as a digital distributor. According to the composer, Shaifulhan said, "Jaclyn Chia's beautiful voice combined with Yunk G's solid rap forms a song that touches the soul and soothes wounds." Meanwhile, rapper Yunk G said he has high hopes of seeing the collaboration succeed in the coming weeks and said, "I believe music should speak the truth. In 'Redam', I want to bring the perspective of those who often hide their wounds for fear of being seen as weak." Yunk G, or real name AG Sri Iskandar Bahrin, is a rapper who has been doing well in recent years with singles in Sabah and Peninsular Malaysia. Among his top hits is the single 'Aku Shot', the original soundtrack for the movie "Adiwara". The music video ''Redam'', which had been released on Luncai Emas's YouTube channel, displays poetic visuals full of symbolism - depicting an individual's journey through the shadows of the past. The single can also be streamed on all digital platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube.

#SHOWBIZ: Jimmy Kimmel reveals Matt Damon nearly choked to death at his home

LOS ANGELES: Matt Damon narrowly avoided a life-threatening incident during dinner at Jimmy Kimmel's house, after choking on a spare rib that became lodged in his throat for nearly 90 minutes. The late-night host recalled the frightening moment in an interview with Variety, saying the 54-year-old actor had arrived hungry and began eating quickly before the rib got stuck. "He came late, was very hungry, and started eating fast. He started choking on a pork rib. It was stuck in his throat for about an hour and a half," Jimmy, 57, explained. The comedian admitted he panicked at the thought of Damon possibly dying under his roof. "His brother was there. I said, 'We've got to get him to the hospital, because if he dies in my house, I'm going to prison for the rest of my life. I'll never be able to explain this as anything other than a murder.'" Despite repeated attempts, the Heimlich manoeuvre proved unsuccessful. Desperate for a solution, they turned to YouTube tutorials and eventually discovered that eating small pieces of bread might help. The unconventional method worked, with Damon finally able to swallow the rib. "Bread saved him," Kimmel said. "We tried the Heimlich many times. It was too far down." The incident adds another twist to the pair's long-running comedic 'feud,' which began in 2005 when Kimmel joked at the end of his show, "Apologies to Matt Damon, but we ran out of time." Since then, their playful rivalry has included red-carpet banter and Sarah Silverman's viral parody song "I'm [expletive] Matt Damon."
