Suka kami kongsikan satu artikel yang menarik yg dipetik dari akhbar Kosmo Hiburan Malaysia, setelah beberapa minggu penghijrahan Mizz Nina untuk ratapan kita bersama, khususnya peminat-peminat setia Mizz Nina.
PULANG daripada menunaikan ibadah haji pada hujung bulan Oktober lalu, perubahan mendadak penyanyi urban Mizz Nina mencuri tumpuan khalayak.
Bukan saja imej baharu dengan menutup aurat dan bertudung, hijrah Mizz Nina atau nama sebenarnya Shazrina Azman, 33, turut merangkumi aspek muzik dan karier seninya.
“Selepas ini, tiada lagi Mizz Nina yang lama, daripada segi muzik dan lagu-lagu saya semuanya akan berubah. Saya akan tinggalkan terus dunia muzik yang lama dan bermula semula dengan arah baharu.
“Insya-Allah, pada tahun depan saya akan menghasilkan sebuah single baharu yang lebih bersifat kerohanian dan menyampaikan mesej tersirat pada masa sama.
“Tapi buat masa sekarang saya perlu fokus untuk diri sendiri dulu dan berehat seketika daripada dunia seni,” ujarnya yang ditemui ketika acara Shout! Awards di Stadium Putra Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur baru-baru ini.
Kata Nina, kehidupan peribadinya masih sama seperti dahulu dan dia enggan menjadi hipokrit selepas diberikan hidayah dan peluang untuk melakukan penghijrahan terbesar dalam hidupnya kali ini.
“Hidup saya masih sama tiada apa yang berubah cuma sekarang saya rasa lebih gembira dan bebas. Alhamdulillah saya bersyukur atas penghijrahan ini dan apabila mendapat seruan untuk menunaikan haji di Tanah Suci Mekah, nikmat itu tidak tergambar oleh kata-kata.
“Tambahan, saya dapat menunaikan haji bersama suami dan keluarga saya bersama-sama yang telah lama saya idamkan, tidak seperti kawan-kawan saya yang lain terpaksa pergi berasingan.
“Apabila dapat berdua-duaan dengan suami menunaikan haji di Mekah, saya rasa bahagia dan sangat direstui. Lagipun, sudah lama saya ingin untuk menunaikan haji,” kata Nina.
Tudung
Ditanya apakah antara doa yang dipanjatkan sepanjang mengerjakan ibadah rukun Islam kelima itu, jawab Nina, dia berdoa agar dipercepatkan rezeki untuk memperoleh zuriat setelah dua tahun mendirikan rumah tangga bersama Noh Salleh.
“Setiap pasangan akan sentiasa berdoa untuk kesejahteraan rumah tangga dan kebaikan dalam kehidupan, bukan saya berdoa untuk dikurniakan zuriat semata-mata.
“Insya-Allah, sekarang pun kami masih berusaha untuk mendapatkan zuriat, ada rezeki adalah,” tambahnya.
Memilih keputusan untuk bertudung ujar Nina banyak dipengaruhi oleh kawan-kawan sekelilingnya. Ada antara sahabat karibnya memperkenal dan mendekatkan Nina dengan hijab sebelum menunaikan haji lagi.
“Keluarga saya sudah lama mengetahui hasrat saya untuk bertudung dan Alhamdulillah mereka menyokong saya dan gembira atas pilihan ini. Suami pun lebih sayang!
“Ini semua satu pengorbanan untuk menjadi diri saya yang lebih baik daripada sebelum ini dan bertudung adalah perkara yang lahir daripada hati secara ikhlas untuk melakukannya,” kata Nina yang masih mencari-cari imej terkini yang sesuai dengan dirinya.
Pernah suatu ketika, Nina meluahkan hasrat untuk berkolaborasi dengan penyanyi pop antarabangsa Rihanna sebelum ini dan ketika diajukan soalan bagaimanakah dia akan meneruskan niat itu, Nina terdiam seketika.
“Selepas ini tidak akan ada lagi sebarang kolaborasi dengan artis luar atau klip video seperti sebelum ini. Sekarang adalah Mizz Nina baharu, saya tidak menyesal dan yakin dengan pilihan ini!” ulasnya.
Noh Tidak Paksa
Berkongsi pengalaman menunaikan haji baru-baru ini, kata Noh, dia bersyukur diberikan peluang untuk melengkapkan rukun Islam kelima pada tahun ini.
“Sebelum ini saya dan Nina pernah berbincang dan merancang untuk menunaikan haji tapi atas kesibukan kerja masing-masing, hasrat itu terpaksa ‘ditangguhkan’ seketika sehingga ke tahun depan pada asalnya.
“Tapi perjalanan kali ini Alhamdulillah dipermudahkan Allah dan memang niat kami untuk menunaikan haji sebelum dapat cahaya mata,” ujarnya.

Perkara ini telah disahkan oleh pengurus Mizz Nina, Joe Saiful, tetapi menjelaskan pelantun lagu “What You Waiting For” itu masih belum bersedia untuk bertemu media atau menjawab pertanyaan tentang penampilan terbarunya itu.

Tambah pengurusnya, Mizz Nina atau nama sebenarnya Shazrina binti Azman sedar apabila sudah bertudung, dia haruslah menjaga imej agar bersesuaian dengan perubahannya itu.
“Nina seorang yang sangat peka dengan imejnya sebagai selebriti dan apabila sudah berhijab, Nina sedang mencari imej yang bersesuaian sebelum tampil di khalayak.”
Joe Saiful turut memberitahu beberapa perubahan perlu dilakukan dalam karier muzik Mizz Nina dan berharap agar semua memahami situasinya.
Mizz Nina, 33, dan Noh Hujan, 29, telah pergi menunaikan haji pada awal Oktober lalu yang turut disertai oleh bekas jaguh bina badan negara, Datuk Malek Noor dan penceramah bebas, Ustaz Azhar Idrus.

DALAM diam, penyanyi dan komposer Yuna bikin panas lagi.
Terbaru, pelantun lagu Lelaki ini telah diberi lagi pengiktirafan antarabangsa apabila Ryan Seacrest memujinya di laman web rasmi hos TV dan produser Hollywood terkenal itu.
Laman blog itu menulis tentang album Inggeris terbaru Yuna berjudul Nocturnal, album kedua penyanyi itu sejak menandatangani kontrak bersama syarikat Verve Records. (Album pertama penyanyi itu berjudul, Yuna diedarkan pada April tahun lalu.)
Menurut Seacrest di blognya, “Nocturnal is a strong sophomore effort, full of smooth indie pop production seamlessly paired with Yuna’s angelic voice.” (Nocturnal merupakan album kedua yang cukup unggul dan padat dengan produksi pop indie bersesuaian dengan kelembutan suara Yuna.”)
Antara selebriti dari benua Asia yang pernah mendapat pengiktirafan di laman rasmi Seacrest ini termasuk artis kelahiran Filipina, Charice.
Memuatkan 11 buah lagu, ‘Nocturnal’ turut mendapat sentuhan Yuna sendiri sebagai penulis lirik dan komposer selain menyaksikan kolaborasinya dengan ramai lagi penerbit terkenal dari Amerika Syarikat.
Nocturnal mengetengahkan konsep pop organic, R&B soul dan akustik. Yuna turut melancarkan single pertama dari album tersebut berjudul Falling yang diterbitkan oleh komposer terkenal Robin Hannibal.
‘Nocturnal’ bakal diedarkan di Ameika pada Oktober 29.
Bintang penghibur berusia 27 tahun itu mula menyinar di Amerika pada tahun 2012 dan muziknya telah berjaya mendapat pengiktirafan di negara Uncle Sam itu apabila majalah hiburan terkenal, Rolling Stone melabelnya “bintang yang bakal menyinar”.
Satu demi satu pengiktirafan mula mengejar Yuna. Akhbar The New York Times menyifatkan karyanya “sangat segar” dan menyuntik pembaharuan dan “edge” terhadap lanskap muzik di negara berkenaan.
Pada bulan September lalu, Yuna telah menjayakan persembahan bertenaga selama beberapa malam di Istana Budaya, Kuala Lumpur. Persembahan bertenaganya itu menampilkan Yuna sebagai “a wholesome entertainer” dan boleh dijadikan sebagai testimoni perjalanan kariernya berjalan semakin lancar di peringkat tanahair dan antarabangsa.

IT was exactly 2 years ago, the world music industry was shocked to learn the death of Amy Winehouse. We marked the second anniversary on her death today, a singer / songwriter who has so much potential and blended genres of jazz, reggae, soul, blues and R&B into unforgettable compositions.
Her 2006 “Back to Black” album led her to six nominations in the Grammy Awards and winning five of them, thus making her the first British female singer to win five Grammys. This record also made her a tie for the most wins by a female singer in a single night. The following year in 2007, Amy went on to win the Best British Female Singer at the Brits Awards.
Amy is undoubtedly one of the more influential singer in the fashion industry with her bee hive hairdo and with many followers; and VH1 has named her the 26th 100 Greatest Women in Music in 2012. She will always be remembered.

Skirt is the first taste of Minogue’s work since signing with Jay Z’s management company Roc Nation.
The song sees Minogue sing the line “and then my skirt came down” over dubstep and electro beats, complete with sighs and moans.
It is unclear whether the version online is a remix or the final version of a new single.
The song was made with Scottish dance producer Nom De Strip, aka Chris Elliott, and is co-written with Beyonce and Rihanna hit maker The Dream.
Elliott posted the song on Twitter after it was aired in Ibiza.
The chorus runs “Tonight, be my supernova, take whatever you want, Tonight, let me bask in you like rays of the sun/tonight I’m yours.”
Minogue has been in the studio with fellow Australian Sia, as well as Rodney Jerkins, Pharrell Williams and Lady Gaga producers Red One and Fernando Garibay for what will be her twelfth album. It is due for release later this year.
Listen to Skirt here.
Thanks to the worldwide success of her MDNA Tour, Madonna was honored as the Top Touring Artist at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards, held on Sunday night (May 19) at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
The legendary diva took the stage with a touch of sass, following an introduction by Will.i.am that was set to the tune of “Like a Virgin.” Referring to a preceding montage of MDNA footage, she proclaimed, “It took longer to negotiate whether I could show my ass in that trailer than it took to negotiate that tour!”
With that out of the way, Madge delved into a laundry list of thank you’s, including choreographers Rich and Tone Talauega, costume designer Arianne Phillips, musical director Kevin Antunes, set designer Mark Fisher, Live Nation’s Arthur Fogel, and of course, her fans. She also thanked her four children, two of which accompanied her on the blockbuster tour.
“They say that it takes a village to raise a child,” Madonna said, with her notecards humbly visible. “It took several international villages to put my show together.”
The 88-show MDNA tour grossed $305 million, according to Billboard Boxscore. It’s the pop icon’s latest chart landmark in a career full of them, including records for Hot 100 top 10 singles (38 of her overall 56 Hot 100 hits) and Dance Club Songs No. 1s (43).

Third time’s a charm.
Candice Glover, 23, took home the Season 12 title on “American Idol” tonight, out-dueling budding country star Kree Harrison for a victory well-deserved. The sweet South Carolina girl with the powerhouse chops becomes the first female “Idol” winner since Jordin Sparks won Season 6 in 2007.
Candice, an “Idol” veteran auditioning for a third time, was a huge judges’ favorite from wire to wire this season. Her Hollywood and Las Vegas performances were great and all, but once the Top 10 came around, the girl with the monster voice really let it all out.
Candice had a slew of show-stopping, awe-inspiring, stand-up-and-cheer moments this season, but a few that shine brighter than the rest include incredible versions of Ben E. King’s “I (who have Nothing),” West Side Story’s “Somewhere” and the now-“Idol” classic “Love Song” by the Cure.
And her showings in Wednesday night’s finale at the Nokia Theater sealed the deal. Her brand new single, “I am Beautiful,” was a powerful pop ballad and her revamped “I (who have Nothing)” was as show-stopping and strong as Candice has ever been.
Candice Glover was named the winner of “American Idol” tonight at the conclusion of the two-hour Season 12 finale. She defeated Kree Harrison.FOXAs the confetti begins to settle and Candice finally stops crying, one thing becomes clear — this was the right choice. This was always the right choice.
Candice was undoubtedly the strongest vocalist of the season, combining a unique tone with a seasoned rasp to pump out world-class performances one after another. There was also a fantastic old-fashioned catch in Candice’s voice that allowed her to dominate the classic songs during the older theme weeks. And her falsetto was top-notch.
In other words, Candice was pretty much the whole “Idol” package.
About a month ago, Candice seemed to plateau just a little, but from audition to finale, the Beaufort native had this in the bag. Yes, there was the shocker last week when fellow frontrunner Angie Miller went home, but if it was meant to be, Angie would have been on that stage with her family and friends instead.
For Kree, who turns 23 in two hours, second place should still be a very welcome birthday present. She’s a great singer, has a beautiful effortlessness about her and will do well in the country music world.
As for Candice, she will have to carve out a more unique niche for herself to be truly successful in the real world. She has a terrific voice, but her image may not be strong enough to stand out. Let’s hope her voice does the talking, as it did for the last 5 months.
