Misha Omar opens her heart: New single, sold-out concert and a whole lot of gratitude
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 2 — Misha Omar's journey in the local music scene over the last two decades has not been an easy one, but behind her success, the melodious-voiced singer continues to appreciate the people who have supported her, including journalists who faithfully documented every moment of her career since she first ventured into the entertainment industry. Misha, 43, whose real name is Samihah @ Aisah Omar, 43, said her close relationship with media practitioners has helped her build self-confidence through the many challenges and transitions in her career, including the times when she had to deal with vocal problems and personal dilemmas. 'As my late father used to say, we don't meet (someone) by chance. I'm very grateful for this connection because it's something I deeply value in life. 'In addition to having close friends who truly know me, I'm also very transparent with my journalist friends. My relationship with journalists is very special. I gain their trust, they gain my trust. I think artistes from my era feel the same. This is a bond I really treasure in my life,' she said after the launch of her latest single 'Break' recently. Misha, who rose to fame through the Bintang RTM 2001 programme, said her new song, composed by renowned Indonesian composer Melly Goeslaw, is not just a musical piece but a poetic expression that narrates a love story in a unique way. 'I feel Melly really understands the character of my voice and she knows I'm a storyteller through music. The poem she created may seem ordinary at first glance, but when explored further, it becomes a story that's easy to convey,' she said, describing the collaboration as a dream come true. Misha, meanwhile, is set to perform her solo concert DiA Misha Omar at Mega Star Arena, Kuala Lumpur, on Nov 29. The tickets for the Gold, Silver and Platinum seat categories sold out within just 15 minutes. 'This is a very good sign. I was actually quite worried because there are so many concerts being held towards the end of the year, but the response has been very positive. I truly appreciate those who genuinely want to be with me that night,' she said. She said she will begin intensive physical preparations 60 days before the concert, along with vocal training under Datuk Syafinaz Selamat. The concert will highlight her 23-year journey in the local music industry, featuring a musical arrangement and storytelling approach that takes the audience through the most significant moments of her life and career. 'I never take my work lightly. Every time I go on stage, I try to give my best. I believe that's what keeps friends and fans believing in me,' she said. Melly, who made a surprise appearance at the launch function of Misha's new single, praised the latter's ability to convey stories through music in a deeply moving way. She said Misha's uniqueness lies in her ability to bring a song's narrative to life, making every line feel real, especially when used as a soundtrack in a film. 'I became a fan of Misha after hearing (the song) Pulangkan in the movie Pontianak Harum Sundal Malam. I love horror films and every time her voice came on in that movie, it really touched my heart,' she added. — Bernama

Composer Affan Mazlan strikes a chord again with third National Day theme song (VIDEO)
JOHOR BAHRU, Aug 2 — Being entrusted for three consecutive years to compose the official theme song for National Day and Malaysia Day has cemented Affan Mazlan's reputation as one of the country's leading young composers in instilling patriotism and love for the nation through music. The 25-year-old said that composing the theme song since 2023 has deepened his appreciation for unity and Malaysia's rich cultural heritage, while strengthening his sense of nationalism. 'Every year, I get even more excited. Honestly, the patriotic spirit in me grows stronger. I hope that Malaysians feel the same way and celebrate National Day with hearts full of love for the country,' he told Bernama today. The theme song, titled Malaysia Madani: Rakyat Disantuni, was officially introduced at the launch of the 2025 National Month and Fly the Jalur Gemilang campaign held at Dataran Tanjung Emas, Muar, on July 27. The song, which calls on all Malaysians to embrace the core values of Malaysia Madani, emphasising development based on humanity, social well-being and justice, is performed by the nation's top singer, Datuk Seri Siti Nurhaliza. The song has earned praise from Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil, who both described it as catchy and melodious. This is the third consecutive year that Affan has been entrusted with composing the official National Day and Malaysia Day theme song, following Tekad Perpaduan Penuhi Harapan in 2023 and Malaysia Madani: Jiwa Merdeka in 2024. For this year's composition, Affan took a different approach, weaving in folk music and traditional elements from various ethnicities, in contrast to the modern, corporate style of previous years. 'My goal this year was to highlight unity. The song is rich with Malay cultural elements such as the caklempong, serunai and inang; the sitar to represent the Indian community; the dragon dance for the Chinese community; and ethnic elements from Sabah and Sarawak, including the Iban and Kadazan,' he said. The Seremban-born composer said the two-month collaboration with the Radio Televisyen Malaysia (RTM) team and music director Datuk Mokhzani Ismail also allowed him to immerse himself in the cultures of other ethnic communities. 'Incorporating multi-ethnic musical elements led me to explore the cultures and artistic styles of each community. Without realising it, the process nurtured my patriotic spirit,' he said. One of the main challenges, he noted, was condensing all these cultural elements into a three‑minute song while ensuring the message of unity remained clear and accessible. 'The chorus is very unifying, but in the verses and bridge, I arranged the cultural elements one by one. When people sing this song, they'll notice the uniqueness and diversity of our culture,' he said. Affan said one of the most touching aspects of the composition was the use of 'rakyat-friendly' lyrics, including colloquial expressions such as hai and eh, along with a dikir barat segment that celebrates all cultures. 'My favourite part is the dikir barat segment because it allowed me to highlight all the cultures. Kudos to Datuk Seri Siti Nurhaliza for delivering it so beautifully and with such soul,' he said. He hopes the song will inspire the younger generation to explore traditional music and appreciate Malaysia's artistic heritage, which he believes remains a vital medium for expressing the national spirit. — Bernama

In a recent interview on the YouTube series Flip Your Wig, Holland expressed his excitement about returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. 'I'm obviously over the moon and so excited,' he said. 'Playing Spider-Man is like hanging out with an old pal… and I think we were really restricted with what we could do in the last movie because of Covid.' He added that filming will return to real-world locations, with production set to begin in Glasgow. 'We're gonna use the streets of Glasgow to build this massive set-piece… it's gonna feel like making [2017's] Spider-Man 1 again,' he said.
