It's been a long time that I haven't review any new album. So, today, I want to review one of the best album I thought, in 2005.Lebih Baik from Amy Mastura was I think shows the quality of the songs itself. It's more better!. At first, I thought that this album was the same like her previous album, but my expectation was totally wrong, because it was different in every criteria. This album shows her ability and her new sond..Sounds good?
This album contains 10 tracks (the lyrics are all about love). The composer that involve in this album are Azlan Abu Hassan, Anuar Zain & Hazami, Asmin Mudin, Aidit Alfian, Audi Mok, Cat & Amer from Ruffedge and Tam from Spider. The selection of the songs are totally made by Amy Mastura. I like all of her song, actually I can't put what song are at numbver 1 and 10. All songs are the best!
The first track start with Bukakan Pintu composed by Azlan
Abu Hassan and lyric by Ucu. The song was quite catchy and it almost
like she want to escape from her old and dark world, to a new place
that have her and her boyfriend. Once I play this song, I can sing
along with the singer!
The, the slow and mellow tracks comes. Kasihku Sinar composed
by Anuar Zain & Hazami and lyric by Amy Mastura herself. This song will
be soundtrack for a new siries of Mya Zara at Samarinda slot. I
think this song match with her vocal, and the lyric was so wonderful!
Anuar Zain actually can compose song! And I hope, his coming album will
be include his own song!
The third track is Lebih Baik by Asmin Mudin. The blues music
actually the strenght of the song. I like the first verse of the song,
so nice. But the chorus was too tight! I don't know why I use that
word, but it's too tight for Amy's vocal. Because her vocal can't rich
the high pitch, so, that's why the chorus is too tight! The arragement
of the music quite good and fresh! I like it!
Penghujung Hari was awesome! Melody by Azlan Abu Hassan and
lyric by Mohariz Yaakop was totally all out! The melody was so strong
and can be the best ballad ever! With the touch of the Chinese element
at the music bridge, you can feel the song with your heart! The
combination of the lyric and the song was great! This is my first
choice from this album!
Aidit Alfian is the music genius. Why? Because this song was too
great! Lyric by Ad Samad, Kata Mama can be hit. This song just
like the odinary song, with the simple lyric and melody, but I don't
why I like this song so much! Amy Mastura sings very well, and I like
the childish sound!
Bingung has been created with a lot of R&B and Hip Hop
elements. With the touch of Indian dance music and tabla, this song was
fusion. The composer and the lyricist, Cat and Amer from Ruffedge use
their creativity to creat the totally outrageous sounds! This song
suitable play at Xfresh FM. Amy Mastura rapping with Sedozen in this
song!
Tam Spider was greate. From fast song, to a mellow song, just on the
tip of his hand. Ku Lukiskan Angan was a sad ballad just like
Bertakhta Di Hati. But the lyric just nice with the song. Loloq
create the story with the lyric. Nice! Keep up the good work Tam!
Sometimes, we need a relaxing song, and I suggest this song.
Actually, this song just like an odinary song, not so special, but so
relaxing. Teman Jiwa composed by Audi Mok and lyric by Amran
Omar. The composer exactly synonym with fast song, but his melody for
Teman Jiwa actually different compared with his other fast
tracks.
You like Elegi Sepi? So you must like this song! Composed by
the same composer, Julfekar, this song can be in the same level with
Elegi Sepi. The result of this song was great by the mixing of
free pop, R&B, and traditional elements. Datu Badd create the nice and
simple lyric. I also like this song, full with different elements.
Cinta the last track in this album. Fast song, with the
catchy lyric. Composed by Azlan Abu Hassan again, and lyric by Mac
Chew. This song was so energetic and fresh, but same like her previous
Sha Na Na but you can listen to this song while you sad. Why?
Because the song full with good message!

The album's cover was simple, with Amy's new image. Actually the
image was not so suitable with her music, but actually, it's better
from her previous album. With silver colour as the background, this
album can attrack people to buy it, marketing strategy!
It's worth to buy this album, the quality of the song and Amy's
vocal has improve alot. I give 4/5 for this album. Also, you can win a
trip to Hong Kong Disneyland and Slim Wolrd voucher when you purchase
the original copy. Support our music industry!
