President Tharman praises Indian music star A.R. Rahman for helping Singapore musicians
President Tharman Shanmugaratnam met award-winning Indian music star A.R. Rahman when Rahman was in Singapore. - THARMAN SHANMUGARATNAM/INSTAGRAM SINGAPORE: President Tharman Shanmugaratnam has praised Indian music star A.R. Rahman for working with Singapore musicians. In social media posts on Monday (June 2), Tharman uploaded photos of himself meeting the Grammy-, Oscar- and Golden Globe-winning music and film icon popularly known as ARR. Rahman, 58, was in town on May 10 and 11 for the premiere of Le Musk, a multi-sensory virtual-reality (VR) film he directed that is screening at Golden Village Suntec City until Aug 12. 'Our Indian music and cultural talent, from classical to the most contemporary and edgy, are naturally a minority in the local scene. But they make Singapore's multiculturalism all the more special,' President Tharman wrote. 'ARR has also done our own talent good over the years, by giving them valuable exposure,' he added, listing the home-grown acts who have worked with Rahman – rapper-songwriter duo Lady Kash and Krissy, singer-musician Shabir and rapper Yung Raja. Rahman's collaborations include Wanna Mash Up?, a song with Lady Kash and Krissy for the 2014 Hindi film Highway. Tharman added that Singapore was the first place Rahman – who was born in Chennai, Tamil Nadu – travelled to outside of India in the 1980s, and how the musician bought his equipment from local music stores Swee Lee and City Music. 'Good to see that both local music stores are still going strong after all these years,' Tharman wrote. Rahman is a prolific musician, composer and singer whose works span more than 145 films. Incorporating Indian classical with contemporary Western, his music famously transcends Tamil, Hindi and Telugu films, and has made a mark on Hollywood, the West End and Broadway. He gained global fame when his soundtrack to the Mumbai-set British film Slumdog Millionaire (2008) earned him Oscars for Best Original Score and Best Original Song – for the upbeat number Jai Ho – in 2009. The crime drama romance, which starred Dev Patel and Freida Pinto, also won Rahman Best Compilation Soundtrack Album and Best Song Written for Visual Media at the 2010 Grammy Awards. Le Musk, a 37-minute film that marks his directorial debut, uses pioneering camera technologies to present an immersive film that blends VR, haptics, music and fragrance. At GV Suntec City, viewers will wear VR headsets and sit in special egg-shaped chairs that release scents. Rahman has staged several concerts in Singapore, most recently at the National Stadium on Aug 31. He also performed at Gardens by the Bay in 2014, the Singapore Indoor Stadium in 2005, and Marina Bay Sands in 2011. - The Straits Times/ANN

(Video) New Music Alert: Mariah Carey Teases 'What's Your Type' Music Video
It's been 7 years since fans have been blessed with new music from Mariah Carey, and we're dying for a taste. Other than remixes, her latest 20th anniversary reissue of 'The Emancipation Of Mimi (20th Anniversary Edition)' and defrosting herself with her acclaimed Christmas hit 'All I Want For Christmas Is You', has the Pop-R&B legend herself finally been brewing in the studio? On 2nd June 2025, Mariah Carey dropped a mysterious teaser on her socials about a new music video titled, 'What's Your Type'. The 56-year-old artist also inserted the hashtag, #MC16, which is obviously a hint that a new album is on the way. Here's what we know so far: The 21-second clip showed the vocal legend herself in a sleek black convertible decked in bling. She changes the radio from her song 'It's Like That' to a track with a dance-pop beat called 'T:D_MC16.mp3'. Listening carefully to the noise in the background, there's a faint voice saying, 'To show my appreciation for your support, thank you, DJs'. Aligning with current pop trends, could this be a Mariah club-centred era? Fans are clearly excited for her return, with buzz igniting in the comment section of her socials with fans cheering on the teaser. User @/drteddysim commented, 'MC16!!! Gotta text this morning about this and it's all the buzz now'. Fans have also pointed out the sample tune of the title track, with user @/eseperdeupelomundo commenting, 'She's using a sample of Paula DeAnda omg!! Clap Ta This'. Apart from the teaser announcement of a new single and her 16th album, the release of the teaser also aligns with the announcement of her 'The Celebration of Mimi' world tour, which started in May.

SG DJ Germaine Tan engaged to Zouk Group's chief executive Andrew Li
Andrew Li proposed to DJ Germaine Tan in the Maldives. Photo: Germaine Tan/Instagram Wedding bells are set to ring for Singaporean radio DJ Germaine Tan and Andrew Li, chief executive of Singapore lifestyle and hospitality company Zouk Group. The engagement was announced by Tan, a presenter at Mediacorp's English-language radio station 987, on social media on June 1. Li, who is in his early 40s, was tagged in the post. 'Andrew has always known my appreciation for sunsets and (the) ocean, so he'd been planning this secretly for some time,' wrote Tan, who is in her late 20s, of the romantic proposal. 'In the Maldives, on a private sandbank, while the evening sun approached the horizon over the open ocean. It couldn't have felt more right.' Tan, who joined Mediacorp in 2015 and is also a lifestyle influencer and host, recounted her boyfriend's words when he popped the question: 'I knew all along it was going to be you. The way you love me so fiercely inspires me to be the best version of myself. If you let me, I will spend the rest of my life trying to make you happy.' The couple, who first met at Singapore's cocktail bar Here Kitty Kitty in 2022, have been dating for over two years. She added in her post: 'Your care and generosity toward my loved ones make me even more in love with you. I can't imagine life without you as my pillar of support, and I wouldn't want a life like that anyway.' The newly engaged lovebirds were congratulated on social media by celebrity pals, including Yes 933 DJ Hazelle Teo, actor Ben Yeo, actress Tay Ying and celebrity chef Wu Sihan. Tay and Wu will be tying the knot in June. Mediacorp's artiste management arm The Celebrity Agency also congratulated Tan and Li, writing: 'From dancing at a bar to a sunset proposal in Maldives, their love story felt written in the stars. Through every challenge and triumph, they grew stronger together. Now, they are saying yes to a lifetime of love.' London-born Li joined Zouk Group as chairman in 2015 and became its chief executive in 2016. He oversaw the return of dusk-to-dawn electronic dance music festival ZoukOut in 2022 after a three-year hiatus. – The Straits Times/Asia News Network
