Mawi.. Yang Tercinta

I have decided to write a review on Mawi's new studio album titled Yang Tercinta. I bought it a week ago.. and have been listening to it on my way to and from the office.. just to really get a feel of it.

No doubt, he has a great voice. And I especially like the songs Kian and Perempuan, other than Aduh Saliha of course. And the duet song with M Nasir, is a another good one.

However, despite the good voice and the okay songs, I still feel that Mawi would perform best on sentimental songs. I mean.. I could never forget the way he sang Dewa's Pupus, Nassier Wahab's Memori Cinta Luka and even Jamal's Kekasih Awal dan Akhir. He has got a good control of his voice and he can really sing high notes.

But to hear him sing such 'fast' songs with loud music.. I just think that he could have done better. Maybe M Nasir should start composing slower ballads for Mawi to sing.. maybe something like the most famous "Suatu Masa".. Imagine Mawi singing that song... :)

Note: My husband likes Yang Tercinta better than Mawi's AF songs because he hates sentimental songs.
