Gretchene bares heartbreak in soulful new single 'Aku Bodoh'

Published on: Monday, June 23, 2025 Published on: Mon, Jun 23, 2025 By: Ricardo Unto Text Size: KOTA KINABALU: Sabah-born singer Gretchene Quirina has released her latest single Aku Bodoh , a melancholic pop ballad about unreciprocated love, regret, and the quiet strength of letting go. The song traces the emotional arc of a young woman who once believed in the sincerity of love, only to realise that the affection she received was not genuine. Upon facing the painful truth, the protagonist chooses to walk away despite her emotional wounds, capturing the bittersweet process of release and renewal. Aku Bodoh resonates deeply with listeners who have been through heartbreak and betrayal, offering a voice to those quietly piecing their hearts back together. The emotionally charged lyrics and haunting melody reflect vulnerability and resilience, delivered with Gretchene's signature vocal style that blends power with fragility. The song was penned by lyricists Ryenald Guntabid, Melakaboy, and while the arrangement and musical production were handled by respected regional producer Irwan Simanjuntak. Advertisement The music video, directed by Elvin Romeo with assistance from Ivan Hiew and edited by Al Hanafi Juhar, presents intimate visual storytelling set in domestic spaces once filled with promise but now tinged with sorrow. Each scene visually conveys the emotional aftermath of broken trust, from bedrooms that once offered comfort to living rooms filled with echoes of forgotten promises. Adding star power to the music video is Indonesian TikTok influencer Juansen, who plays the male lead and brings over 7.5 million followers into Gretchene's expanding audience reach. The launch of Aku Bodoh was accompanied by a special performance during Malam Galau Kinabalu: Gretchene & Friends , held on June 14 here. She shared the stage with fellow Sabahan artists Elica Paujin and Ryenald, as well as Indonesian ballad singer Mytha Lestari. Gretchene is also set to perform at the Hologram Glenn Fredly Concert in Kuala Lumpur on 18 July and will open for the renowned Indonesian band Nidji during their concert here in October. Her latest release is now available on all major digital streaming platforms and is poised to attract listeners both in Malaysia and Indonesia. Known to her fans as Chene, Gretchene has been active in music since 2018, though her love for singing began long before her first official appearance. She brings a unique blend of Sabahan heritage and contemporary ballad-pop to the Malaysian music landscape, making her a distinctive voice in the industry. Among her achievements are winning the Sugandoi Inanam in 2018, Sugandoi DBKK in 2022, and Sugandoi Penampang in 2024, where she also placed third nationally. Balancing academic commitments with her artistic pursuits, Gretchene remains dedicated to her musical journey and to sharing stories through song. She is signed under XIOKK Entertainment, a Sabah-based label that operates as a subsidiary of XENO Entertainment and was launched in 2024. XIOKK aims to develop local talent without requiring artists to relocate to the peninsula, nurturing homegrown singers like Gretchene, Ryenald, and the girl group SMDX. Aside from music production, XIOKK also functions as a talent agency representing Sabah-based influencers such as Calby Floresa, Clerice Olvia, and Andrea Roulin. With Aku Bodoh , XIOKK continues to showcase its commitment to producing compelling local talent for regional and international audiences. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

Gantung screening cut short: Filmmaker cites missed opportunities, cinema says guidelines were followed

LOCAL film Gantung: The Musketeer Code, directed by Nadia Mohammad Hatta, better known as Neddo Khan, was reportedly screened for seven days at GSC Cinemas, prompting discussion from both the filmmaker and moviegoers regarding its limited run. The issue gained traction after Nadia voiced her concern on social media, following a reply from GSC confirming that the screening ended on June 11. 'Hi, today is the last day of screening, yea,' the official account wrote. The response drew feedback from fans who had not managed to catch the film during its brief run. The film had been registered under the Mandatory Screening Scheme (Wajib Tayang) by the National Film Development Corporation (Finas), which allows local films an initial screening period of 14 consecutive days. However, under the scheme's guidelines, cinemas may shorten the screening period if certain attendance thresholds are not met. The Mandatory Screening Scheme includes the 30 and 15 per cent rules, where lower turnout in the first 30 per cent of screenings may lead to films being moved to smaller halls, and if below 15 per cent, screenings can be reduced to three days. Nadia said there was still audience interest for the film, and noted that TGV Cinemas extended its run by an additional week, until June 18. Neddo Khan with Ikmal Amry, who plays Ray — one of the four elite high school boys at the centre of the story. She took to Instagram to thank supporters, noting that TGV Wangsa Walk continued to film the screening due to steady audience interest. In response, GSC clarified through a statement shared with Sinar Daily that although local films are given a 14-day period under the Mandatory Screening Scheme, exhibitors have discretion to withdraw films if consecutive occupancy rates fall below 15 per cent in the first three days. 'Upon release of five shows per day for the first three days of screening across 18 GSC locations, there were low single digit occupancy rates. 'GSC continued to screen for an additional four days until June 11 and after seven consecutive days of low occupancy rates remaining in the single digits, GSC had to remove showtimes to open up halls to accommodate new films with greater audience interest at our cinemas,' the statement said. GSC added that screening decisions are guided by audience engagement and performance metrics to ensure a balanced and sustainable cinema ecosystem. 'As a homegrown brand, GSC actively screens Malaysian films and continues to support local filmmakers and the industry through regular programming across our cinemas, with adherence to the 'Wajib Tayang' (Mandatory Screening) scheme by wishes to reiterate its continued adherence to the Wajib Tayang scheme," read the statement. Meanwhile, Nadia said: "Our intention is not to point fingers but to find out why this is happening. "We also do not want other independent films to suffer like we did, as we were not given the chance to properly live out our two weeks in the cinemas,' said Nadia. "The feedback we often get is that people mainly did not have the chance to go and see it before it was abruptly pulled out of cinemas,' said Nadia. Nadia also shared that financing for Gantung was made possible through crowdfunding, loans, and personal funds from the filmmakers, making large-scale advertising challenging. "Marketing requires money, and for truly independent films like Gantung, where the financial source was partially crowdfunding, partially loans and largely from our own pockets, we cannot afford massive billboards, constant advertisements, and talent appearances at multiple events," she said. She said the two-week period was important for the film's potential success. The film's first week of release also coincided with the Aidiladha festive period, which may have contributed to lower turnout during that time. She also noted that the film started with 56 cinemas and limited showtimes, alongside the timing of the Aidiladha weekend. "That, coupled with the Raya Haji weekend, made ticket sales even slower." "Still, we powered through and all we asked for was the full two weeks." "Sadly, even after one weekend, some cinemas already started pulling out our film, and by the time it was one week, it ended unceremoniously," she added. Despite the challenges, she expressed gratitude to supporters. "So many of them wrote love letters for the film. Their love and support have always carried us through and they'll continue to do so. "We're also grateful to cinemas like Paragon, LFS and 10 Star who remain steadfast in supporting local films," she said. Adapted from Nadia Khan's 2013 bestselling novel published by Fixi, Gantung: The Musketeer Code is a continuation of the Gantung series. The first novel was previously adapted into a TV series from 2016 to 2018 before being made into this feature film. Screenings for the film continue at selected locations, with audiences encouraged to check listings for availability.

#SHOWBIZ: Sharnaaz Ahmad's stern warning to actors: 'Check IDs before dating fans'

KUALA LUMPUR: Actor Sharnaaz Ahmad, known for his role in Blood Brothers, has urged his fellow actors to be more discerning when meeting or dating female fans. In a news report yesterday, he advised that if an actor meets or dates a female fan, they should first ask to see her identity card (IC). "This is to ensure that she isn't underaged, which could land you in serious trouble," Sharnaaz said. "We can never fully trust a person's word these days; checking their IC is always best." Sharnaaz added, "These days, we often see younger girls dressing to appear older than they are. Some even falsify their ages." The Blood Brothers star's comments follow singer-actor Naim Daniel's recent appearance at the Sessions Court in Putrajaya. Naim, 28, pleaded not guilty to a charge of physical sexual assault involving a 17-year-old girl. The alleged offence occurred at a hotel in Petaling Jaya at 8.56pm on May 19. He was charged under Section 14(a) of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017, which carries a penalty of up to 20 years' imprisonment and whipping upon conviction.
