    Selected Press Clippings

    AIM-ing for the top

    AIM17 honours artistes old and new for their contribution to the Malaysian music sceneJoe LeeMonday, March 29th, 2010 12:33:00

    It's a bittersweet concoction for the 17th Anugerah Industri Muzik (AIM 17)this year.

    The number of nominations is at an impressive high to reflect the renewedvigour in the music industry, and yet the quality hasn't quite spiked incomparison.

    Then, there are the regulars who tediously dominate every year. However,the upstarts have registered their mark as well.

    All in all - after signs of rejuvenation last year - with fresh sounds from thelikes of Aizat, Meet Uncle Hussain, Malique and Hujan, this year may not

    provide any major surprises, but the trend continues for the new kings (andhopefully queens) of the scene getting their piece of the pie.

    Persatuan Akademi Industri Muzik Malaysia (PAIMM) chairman Datuk AzizBakar sang praises of the achievements made by some over the past yearwith a healthy, and much welcomed increase in local music sales over theperiod.

    "There is an increase of 34 per cent with a profit of RM101.8 million incomparison to the previous year which was only about RM76 million.

    "Of that total, digital music sales which incorporates sales of ringback tones (RBT) and music

    downloads increased about 50 per cent to RM30.2 million. Physical album sales which includeCDs, cassettes, VCDs and DVDs recorded an increase of 28 per cent to rake in RM71.6 million."

    This embrace given to the sounds that shy away from the stale, musty staples of before needs tobe given due credit for getting record-buyers excited once more.

    And AIM has perhaps taken the cue to once again recognise the efforts of the younger - and insome cases not so young - less commercial-sounding set.

    Take for example, Prema Yin's debut which notched four nominations. Or even the surpriseinclusion of Stacy's first effort in Best Pop Album.

    Im Laufe des Abends stellten er und seine Combo am Hamm spontan und ungeplant

    einer noch viel weiter angereisten und in Delbrck weilenden Rockmusikerin zurVerfgung: Die 24-jhrige Popsngerin Prema Yin aus Malaysia stellte mit zwei Stckenaus der Liedermappe von Freddy ihr Knnen unter Beweis.

    In Fernost gehrt die junge Musikerin zu den gerade aufgegangenen Sternen amMusikhimmel, konnte sie sich doch gemeinsam mit ihrer Band Mon9 und dem TitelBlow My mind ber Weihnachten auf Platz eins der malaiischen Hitliste platzieren.Nun stellt sich die Frage, was die Rock-Prinzessin in das rund 13 000 Kilometer entfernteDelbrck verschlgt. Die Antwort ist ganz einfach: Die Liebe. Gemeinsam mit ihrem

    Lebensgefhrten, dem in Delbrck geborenen Murat zmen (35), weilte sie in Delbrck.Murat zmen arbeitet seit sechs Jahren fr einen weltweit operierendenElektronikkonzern in Malaysia und lernte die talentierte Sngerin dort kennen.

    Fr Prema Yin war nicht nur der Besuch in Delbrck eine Premiere: Ich habe zumersten Mal echten Schnee gesehen und gefhlt. Das ist fr mich eine ganz neueErfahrung. In ihrer Heimat setzt sich Prema Yin gemeinsam mit dem World WildlifeFound (WWF) fr den Schutz des Tigers und der Schildkrten ein
