#SHOWBIZ: Nineties girl group Res2 to perform in 4U2C concert
KUALA LUMPUR: Popular 1990s all-girl pop act Res2 will return as guest artistes for 1990s hip-hop and pop group 4U2C's concert next September.
Datin Emylia Rosnaida, wife and manager of 4U2C's lead singer Datuk AC Mizal, revealed in an interview with Harian Metro yesterday that Res2 would be the main guest star at the "WE 4U2C Live In Concert" on Sept 15 at the Idea Live Arena in Petaling Jaya.
Emylia, 49, highlighted Res2's immense popularity in the 1990s as a pioneering all-girl hip-hop group in the country.
"Res2 are very energetic dancers, much like 4U2C, and were often described as their female counterparts," she explained.
"What's more, in 2020, 4U2C had planned a concert in Singapore and Res2 were suggested as the guest artistes."
That concert in Singapore, however, did not materialise due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the subsequent Movement Control Order (MCO).
Res2 was formed in 1992 with Erin, Baby Arin, Ezza, Yati, and Wati as its founding members.
"I recently met Baby Arin to discuss the 4U2C concert, and she subsequently talked it over with her bandmates," Emylia shared.
"After three days, Baby Arin informed me that they all agreed to make a comeback."
Emylia also expressed her relief that the recent controversy involving 4U2C and songwriter Man Senoi had finally been resolved.
"We want to put on a memorable concert, not just for our longtime fans but also for their children who might not have heard about 4U2C and Res2," Emylia said.
