    Emotional Closure: Weda Mauve Drops “End Great Wars”

    Surabaya’s rising indie star Weda Mauve has officially released his latest single, “END GREAT WARS,” a cinematic dive into the complexities of modern romance. Produced by the acclaimed Petra Sihombing, the track marks a bold step forward in Weda’s evolution from indie-pop newcomer to a sophisticated alt-pop storyteller.

    “END GREAT WARS” captures the fragile transition from emotional exhaustion to newfound hope. The song serves as a metaphor for the moment the “internal wars” of searching for the right partner finally cease, replaced by the vulnerability of falling for someone truly captivating.

    “This track explores the delicate balance of intimacy and the doubt that lingers when you finally find what you’ve been looking for,” says Weda Mauve.

    Following the success of Pack Your Bags – Side A, which has garnered over 200,000 streams in under a year, this new release acts as the definitive bridge to the upcoming Side B. With his breakout hit “Wish We Never Met” recently surpassing 700,000 streams, Weda continues to expand his footprint across Southeast Asia, currently reaching over 35,000 monthly listeners.

  • Riku Lancarkan Single Kedua “GPL”, Manifestasi Amarah Emo Rave Di Bawah Kolektif AntiNRML

    Riku Lancarkan Single Kedua “GPL”, Manifestasi Amarah Emo Rave Di Bawah Kolektif AntiNRML

    Susulan kejayaan single perdana “STFU”, pemuzik eksperimental Riku kini secara rasmi mempertaruhkan karya terbaharunya berjudul “GPL”. Sebagai rilisan kedua bagi tahun 2026, lagu ini memperkukuh identiti Riku dalam industri muzik melalui genre Emo Rave yang disuntik dengan elemen unik “HipDut”—identiti bunyi ikonik daripada kolektif AntiNRML.

    Menerusi penghasilan “GPL”, Riku bekerjasama dengan penerbit kirohta. Kolaborasi ini melahirkan sinergi antara melodi vokal yang bertenaga dengan komposisi muzik yang intens, sekali gus memperkayakan lagi katalog genre Emo Rave yang kini sedang berkembang pesat di bawah naungan AntiNRML.

    Dari sudut penceritaan, “GPL” (singkatan bagi Ga Pake Lama) mengangkat tema konflik cinta tiga segi yang penuh ketegangan. Lagu ini menggambarkan desakan seseorang yang enggan terus dijadikan rahsia dan menuntut kata putus daripada pasangannya. Baris lirik, “Ku tak mau jadi rahasia, aku atau dia? Pilih cepat Ga Pake Lama (GPL)”, merumuskan emosi utama lagu ini: maruah diri yang bersatu dengan kemarahan.

    Riku merupakan alter ego gelap kepada JVSAN. Jika JVSAN dikenali melalui sisi R&B yang puitis dan melankolik, Riku pula adalah manifestasi kepada kegelapan, kekacauan, dan intensiti emosi. Diinspirasikan daripada watak siri Kingdom Hearts yang jatuh ke dalam kegelapan, nama Riku mencerminkan refleksi batin JVSAN yang memberontak. Muziknya dibentuk oleh tenaga distorsi, rentak (beat) yang berat, serta melodi menyeramkan yang berfungsi sebagai pelepasan emosi (katarsis) buat pendengar.

    Rilisan ini membuktikan komitmen Riku untuk terus memperjuangkan visi muzik yang imaginatif dan bukan konvensional. Melalui “GPL”, beliau sekali lagi menegaskan bahawa muzik adalah medium pelarian serta ruang untuk menyalurkan emosi mentah yang mungkin belum dihargai sepenuhnya oleh arus perdana.

    Single “GPL” kini boleh didapati di semua platform penstriman digital. Untuk maklumat lanjut mengenai perjalanan muzik Riku, sila layari akaun media sosial rasminya di Instagram @whyriku.

    Bapa Sanggup Menipu: Adam Lee Cipta Persona Luth Zafran!

    Sejauh manakah seorang bapa sanggup menipu demi menyelamatkan nyawa anaknya? Slot Akasia TV3 kini membawakan Bayangan Lelaki Sempurna, sebuah drama penuh emosi yang memaparkan konflik dwi-kehidupan seorang lelaki yang terperangkap antara realiti marhaen dan dunia glamor media sosial.

    Naskhah arahan Ejump Mohamad ini menampilkan gandingan mantap pasangan realiti, Adam Lee dan Sweet Qismina. Kisah bermula dengan Ammar (Adam Lee), seorang penjual ikan yang gigih membesarkan anaknya, Aqish, dalam keadaan serba kekurangan. Kehidupan Ammar yang tenang bersama bantuan jiran setianya, Zulin, dan Zara Milda (Sweet Qismina) mula goyah apabila Aqish memerlukan rawatan asma yang sangat mahal.

    Desakan hidup memaksa Ammar melakukan transformasi drastik dengan mencipta identiti palsu sebagai “Luth Zafran”, seorang pempengaruh (influencer) yang hidup mewah. Walaupun persona ini membawanya ke puncak populariti dan menarik perhatian Dahlia Rizwani (Riena Diana), Ammar kini dibayangi ketakutan apabila rahsianya mula dikejar oleh kebenaran yang bakal memusnahkan segala-galanya.

    Menurut Adam Lee, watak ini sangat mendalam kerana ia menyentuh tentang kasih sayang seorang ayah yang tiada batasan.

    “Bagi Ammar, menjadi lelaki sempurna buat anaknya adalah keutamaan, walaupun dia terpaksa hidup dalam kepura-puraan demi memastikan kelangsungan hidup keluarganya.”

    Drama 28 episod terbitan Zamriez Golden Pictures Sdn. Bhd. ini turut diperkuatkan oleh barisan pelakon hebat seperti Riena Diana, Maya Fathia, Wanns Ahmad, dan Amin Iman.

This development enhances Malaysia’s strategic role in Nestlé’s global manufacturing and innovation network. NESCAFÉ Espresso Concentrate offers an innovative high-quality product solution to meet the growing demand for cold coffee across Asia.

  • Cicak Salamander Jadi Raksasa Dalam Filem Kaiju Pertama Malaysia, ABU SI RAKSASA

    Dalam dunia perfileman Malaysia, genre sains fiksyen jarang sekali menjadi taruhan berbanding filem seram, aksi atau komedi yang lebih mendominasi pawagam. Namun syarikat produksi M Toons Media Sdn Bhd tampil mencuba sesuatu yang baharu dengan menghasilkan sebuah naskhah berjudul Abu Si Raksasa.

    Filem ini diilhamkan daripada perbincangan penerbit Zamin Fakry bersama Profesor Dr Hezri Adnan yang banyak berkongsi pandangan tentang isu alam sekitar. Dari situ lahirlah idea untuk menampilkan kisah seekor cicak salamander yang membesar menjadi makhluk gergasi akibat pencemaran bahan kimia di sebuah empangan.

    Cerita bermula apabila Zaara membela seekor cicak salamander bernama Abu. Tanpa disangka Abu mengalami mutasi selepas terdedah kepada sisa pencuci jamban berjenama ROXCCID. Zaara bersama rakan rapatnya Sofiyan dan Zidan kemudian bergabung tenaga untuk melindungi haiwan itu daripada buruan pihak berkuasa yang diketuai Kolonel Zamrose serta Kapten Fayyad.

    Keunikan utama filem ini terletak pada genre yang diketengahkan. Abu Si Raksasa menjadi filem Kaiju pertama di Malaysia dan jalan ceritanya disesuaikan dengan budaya tempatan agar lebih dekat di hati penonton. Ramdan Che Hassan bertindak sebagai pengarah sekaligus penulis skrip, dengan barisan pelakon popular termasuk Sophia Al Barakbah, Jaa Suzuran, Zalif Sidek, Afieq Shazwan, Azhar Sulaiman dan Maria Farida.

    Dengan peruntukan sekitar RM2 juta termasuk kos CGI dan VFX, produksi ini berdepan cabaran besar untuk menjayakan visual makhluk gergasi tersebut. Sokongan dana daripada Kementerian Komunikasi dan Finas banyak membantu menjayakan pembikinannya. Ramdan menjelaskan pemilihan cicak salamander dibuat kerana sifatnya yang unik sebagai haiwan amfibia yang berpotensi membesar, selain tidak dianggap ganas, sekali gus sesuai dijadikan pusat penceritaan.

    Penggambaran dijalankan sekitar Lembah Klang seperti Tasik Tadom, Kajang, Banting dan Sungai Buaya bermula September 2023. Ramdan turut mengakui hampir 40 peratus filem ini bergantung pada teknik CGI sekali gus menuntut tahap imaginasi tinggi daripada pasukan produksi.

    Abu Si Raksasa akan mula ditayangkan di pawagam seluruh Malaysia pada 11 September 2025. Antara pelakon yang membintangi ialah Sophia Al Barakbah sebagai Zaara, Jaa Suzuran sebagai Sofiyan, Zalif Sidek sebagai Zidan, Afieq Shazwan sebagai Kapten Fayyad, Azhar Sulaiman sebagai Zarmand dan Maria Farida sebagai Fathiya. Turut serta ialah Adam Shahz, Samarinna Tolhip, Farid Amirul Hisham, Azri Iskandar, Along Eyzendy dan Daddy Rock, selain penampilan khas daripada Dato Rizal Mansor, Ayahanda Rani Kulop, Mustaqim Bahadon dan Kamarool Hj Yusof.
