#SHOWBIZ: Ade Govinda to collaborate with Siti again
KUALA LUMPUR: Indonesian composer and musician Ade Govinda has penned a new song for Datuk Seri Siti Nurhaliza Tarudin.
"The song for her is ready and we'll do a vocal test tomorrow," said Ade, 41, when he met reporters at a press conference here yesterday.
The event was held to promote Bella Astillah's new single, 'Lebih Indah Berpisah', which he also wrote and composed.
Ade, whose full name is Ade Nurulianto and who is also the guitarist for the band Govinda, mentioned that he received a request from Siti to be part of the project.
"I don't know when the song will be released, but my guess is that it will be sometime this year," added Ade, who previously collaborated with Siti in 2016 on the song 'Terbaik Bagimu'.

Actress-singer Fazura prefers to leave legal issues to lawyers; prefers to concentrate on new single composed by Indonesian ace Ade Govinda
KUALA LUMPUR: Nearly two months have passed since allegations emerged that the company owned by popular actress and entrepreneur Nur Fazura Sharifuddin failed to settle a RM4.65 million debt owed to a headscarf manufacturing factory. Despite being repeatedly pressed by the claimant as well as by netizens on social media to address the issue, the celebrity has remained silent, going about her daily life, including promoting her headscarves on social media. And on Saturday, she notched up a big step in her career after launching the music video of her latest single 'Luar Biasa' which is composed by ace Indonesian producer Ade Govinda. Speaking to reporters at a press conference after launching the music video Fazura, 41, said the lawsuit against her company is a confidential matter and has been handed over to her lawyers for further action. Fazura, who is also a singer and television host, said she preferred not to comment further as it involves two separate entities. "Honestly, there's nothing I can explain because we have to understand that I, Fazura, and the company are two different entities.

The company is the company, and Fazura is me personally, that's the distinction. "So really, I can't say much about the company or whatever is going on. I've left all my company-related matters to my lawyers to take action," she said. Fazura made these remarks when asked by reporters to comment on the RM4.65 million lawsuit filed by a headscarf supplier against her company Pink Fate Sdn Bhd. Admitting that she is affected by the controversy, the 'Pisau Cukur' star actress said such issues are among the challenges any entrepreneur must face. "What haven't I gone through in the past eight months? Of course, I've been affected. I'm not someone without feelings but as an entrepreneur, I understand this is normal. I don't think it's necessary to explain, because outsiders may not understand and could twist the facts," she said. "I know the business I'm running isn't a small one and I'm confident all entrepreneurs out there will understand the challenges that come with being in the business world," she added. According to media reports early last month, headscarf manufacturer Obor Holding Sdn Bhd is taking legal action against Pink Fate for allegedly owing the company RM4.65 million. Obor Holding claimed that Pink Fate had only paid RM2.68 million out of the total RM7.3 million value of headscarves supplied since June 2022. - Bernama

This indeed a grand outing: two icons, one song - local legend Misha Omar and Indonesian star Melly Goeslaw unite for 'Break'
Renowned songstress and local legend Misha Omar returns to the spotlight with "Break", a stirring and emotional new single that marks her first-ever collaboration with Indonesian music legend Melly Goeslaw. At 43, and with over two decades of musical excellence under her belt, the three-time Anugerah Juara Lagu Best Vocalist breathes life into "Break", a beautifully crafted composition by Melly Goeslaw, with musical arrangement by celebrated producer Tohpati. Though the title "Break" may suggest a pause, for Misha Omar, it symbolises the opposite — a bold reaffirmation of her commitment to creating timeless, quality music that resonates deeply with her audience. 'I've always dreamed of performing a song written by Melly,' Misha shares. 'So I took the leap and messaged her directly on social media. To my delight, she responded - and "Break" was born, written specifically for me. "This collaboration is incredibly special and came at exactly the right moment in my journey.' Recorded in Jakarta, "Break" is a testament to Misha's meticulous approach to her craft. From vocal training sessions with Datuk Syafinaz Selamat to deep lyrical analysis, Misha ensured every note and phrase of the song conveyed heartfelt emotion. 'Before every new project, I undergo a thorough preparation process - vocal classes, emotional immersion, and lyrical study - so that I can fully deliver the song's message,' she explains. 'I hope "Break" will touch souls and leave a lasting impression.' "Break" also adds another meaningful entry to her rich catalogue, following last year's single "Masihkan Ada Rasa Itu". Yet beyond personal milestones, Misha sees this project as a celebration of the musical richness of the Nusantara region. 'This collaboration with an Indonesian composer is not about overshadowing local talent but rather broadening my horizons and embracing the beauty of regional musical diversity. I hope this inspires continued appreciation and support for our industry," said Misha "Break" is available for streaming and download from Friday (June 20) on all major platforms including Apple Music, Spotify, and YouTube Music. It has aptly named teaser for the new song -- Don't take a break— tune in to "Break" CREDITS Artist: Misha Omar Tittle: Break Composer: Melly Goeslow Lyricist: Melly Goeslow Producer: Tohpati Publisher: Aquarius Pustaka Musik Release Date: Friday, 20 June 2025
