#SHOWBIZ: Hazama to wait 10 years before staging solo concert
KUALA LUMPUR: Singer Hazama Azmi isn't rushing to hold a concert. Instead, he'd rather focus on producing more songs across various genres to build up his repertoire before considering a solo show. The 40-year-old artiste believes that more senior artistes like Misha Omar, Dayang Nurfaizah, or the band Spider are better qualified to stage solo concerts before he could even dream of doing so himself. "Of course, singers and bands such as Datuk Awie, Wings, Search, Datuk Seri Siti Nurhaliza, and Datuk M Nasir are on a completely different level, especially with their huge song catalogues," he said. "As for me, now is the time to gather my own songs so that when I do eventually hold a concert, I won't have to sing other people's material." Hazama also believes that people attend concerts for nostalgia, to hear songs they listened to when they were younger. "That's why KRU's recent concert was such a hit. People who grew up listening to them in the 1990s came to relive those memories with KRU," he explained. "We can listen to the same song on Spotify, but the nostalgia only truly comes alive at a concert. So, I'll wait another 10 years before I hold my own." Hazama shared these thoughts with reporters at a recent press conference held in Kuala Lumpur to promote his latest single, 'Aku Bukan Narsisis'. The song was composed and produced by Farouk Roman, with lyrics penned by Hazama and Zel Hadauan.

#SHOWBIZ: Amira on Fattah: 'I don't deny that I'm riding on his popularity'
KUALA LUMPUR: Singer Amira Othman openly shared, "I don't deny that I've been riding on Fattah Amin's popularity." The 31-year-old has recently become a frequent subject in entertainment news, a notable shift from before, despite having been in the industry since 2013, when she participated in Akademi Fantasia. Amira admitted that her close association with the popular 34-year-old single father has brought her increased attention. "Since he has so many fans out there, everything he does is closely scrutinised by them. And, of course, being close to him means I also get some attention," Amira said when speaking to reporters yesterday at an exclusive event held here to promote her single, 'Dalam Sujudku'. The song, alongside Hazama's 'Aku Bukan Narsisis', serves as the soundtrack for the drama series, Dia Bukan Syurga. Both tracks were composed and written for the series by the renowned music maestro, Farouk Roman. Meanwhile, Amira also revealed that she was recently hospitalised for five days due to food poisoning, which also affected her sister. "It led to hypotension, but that's now under control," she said. It was during this time that she received a bouquet of flowers from Fattah and a visit from his mother, further fuelling speculation about the seriousness of their relationship. "I also received flowers from others," she said with a plastered smile, deflecting questions from the reporters.
