Let’s talk about Yuna
Blog i’m so sorry i left u for around 6 months i think heheheeh. erm well anyway bukan ramai pun tinguk blog ni, tapi tak pe buat je mana tau ada org baca.
Alright let’s talk about Yuna.
Who is Yuna? Well I am not talking about Yuna the female character in Final Fantasy or Yuna Ito the singer whom I think from japan (Google it). I am talking about Malaysian female singer, song writer and guitarist named Yuna. So what about her (people asked- heheh it is just my imagination)? What magic that she has that encourage someone like me, who am not a professional writer want to write about her? And what makes Malaysian labeled her as Malaysian Norah Jones?. Who is she (echo……)?
My friend emails me one of her songs. The title is – ‘Dan sebenarnya’. Well as I said I am not a professional in any of these areas but in my opinion (as someone who have an interest in music) I think she good and she sang well. The accent or maybe the ways she sing the song make us as listener fall into a relaxing mood (this kind of songs which we wants to hear while sitting near the window and watching the rain fall down – maybe a coffee will give a extra ‘urm’ for that ahhhahah). Another credit to Yuna because she also wrote the songs(correct me if I am wrong).But those elements still not enough for me to say ‘WOW’ and say she is Malaysian Norah Jones.
So I decided to make a little researcher about this girl. And maybe I also can hear few of her other songs. I know that she is a coffee lover and love to mingle with kids (from myspace and her Blog (http://junajournal.blogspot.com/)). She starts singing since she was 6 and wrote her first songs when she was 15. She form a group which she is the leader and also guitar and vocals, adil ali- drums, efry Arwis – bass and another guitarist – Pa’an. Influenced by Bob Dylan.Sia. Alanis Morrisette. Eisley. Coldplay. The Cardigans. Dashboard C. Ryan Starr. Radiohead. Lisa Loeb. Fiona Apple. Norah Jones. Tori Amos. Jimi Hendrix. Janis Joplin. Feist. Damien Rice. Lisa Hannigan. Azure Ray. Ray Charles. Sheilla Nicholls. Camera Obscura. Snow Patrol. Corrine Bailey Rae. Tegan & Sara. Incubus. The Vines. MuteMath. The Beatles. Mew. The Perishers. The Stills. Garbage. Marketa Irglova. Glen Hansard(from facebook – Yuna Fans). What make it more interesting about Yuna is she also a designer. She sells all the stuff she designed via internet (what a girl). While digging all this information I saw a song titled – Rocket. I say to myself why not listen to this songs…………then………..magic – WOW she really nail it and I think this is the reason why she has been labeled as Malaysian Norah Jones. I fall in love with this song the same feeling when i am listening to with Norah Jones song – Don’t know why. The lyrics, the music and the way she sang the songs, all these elements combine into one named ‘MAGIC’ (hehehe).
After I studied about Yuna (from internet) I concluded that she is pretty much like us (forgetting things – too much multitasking I think). She also has problems and sometime she like to express the emotions to the internet. Happy moments – I think she has a lots. As a fan I wish her a good luck and looking forward for your albums.
