    HAZAMA DAN NORANIZA IDRIS MERAWAT HATI LAGU PENAWAR KITA

    Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia — Dua penyanyi terkenal di  Malaysia iaitu  Ratu Pop Etnik Negara  Noraniza Idris dan  penyanyi lelaki popular Malaysia, Hazama. Mereka akan bersatu dalam karya muzik terbaru mereka yang bertajuk Penawar Kita. Lagu baru mereka ini dapat menyembuhkan hati mereka setelah lama tidak berkarya.

     

    Dari segi konsep muzik kali ini, Luca Sickta telah menghasilkan muzik yang menggabungkan elemen tradisional dan moden yang sinonim dengan perwatakan nyanyian dari Noraniza Idris & Hazama. Penggabungan ini mencipta dinamika musik yang membawa perpaduan elemen tradisional dan moden.

     

    Menurut Hazama ‘’ Saya rasa sangat bertuah kerana dapat berpeluang berkolaborasi bersama dengan lagenda Irama Malaysia , Noraniza Idris . Kali pertama dapat panggilan projek ini saya terus setuju dengan tawaran dari Kak Ani. Kebetulan pula saya memang peminat Kak Ani dari kecil lagi. Projek ini merupakan kali pertama saya merakamkan lagu yang bergenre Irama Malaysia. Tanpa tawaran ini , tidak mungkin berpeluang untuk merakamkan lagu yang, berunsurkan Irama Malaysia kerana saya sememangnya membawakan genre Rock . ‘’Terima Kasih juga tak terhingga kepada semua yang terlibat dan juga pihak Luncai Emas yang banyak membantu dalam sepanjang proses projek ini dijalankan’’. Tambah Hazama .

     

    “PENAWAR KITA ” adalah terbitan bersama Luncai Emas Sdn Bhd dan NIPV Management Sdn Bhd. Lirik ditulis oleh penerbit muzik , penyanyi & rapper Kmy Kmo, dan dilengkapkan dengan konsep muzik yang mendalam oleh Luca Sickta, bertujuan untuk memikat penonton dengan lirik yang bermakna dan melodi yang meremajakan jiwa. Lagu ini menggabungkan elemen muzik tradisional yang terpilih dengan hikmah pantun nasihat, mencipta perpaduan menawan antara tradisi dan moden.

     

    Walaupun lirik dan lagunya oleh Kmy Kmo dan Luca Sickta, Noraniza Idris tetap membawa pesanan mendalam melalui persembahan suara yang menggugah hati. Lirik yang ditulis membawa pendengar dalam perjalanan yang menyentuh hati, di mana ujian dan cabaran kehidupan berfungsi sebagai pengajaran praktikal dalam memahami hakikat hubungan manusia.

     

    Kmy Kmo menambah, "Apabila zaman berganti zaman kita semua memerlukan udara-udara baik dan harmoni, menekankan keperluan berkekalan untuk bersatu dan harmoni dalam kehidupan kita’’. ‘’ Setelah siap rangka susunan muzik , saya cadangkan agar lagu ini diduetkan dengan artis baru atau sedang aktif dan sesuai dengan vocal saya . Ambil masa lama juga meninjau, satu hari saya buat satu program melibatkan Hazama dan saya terus terfikir untuk calonkan Hazama sebagai rakan duet. Usulan itu disambut baik oleh pengurusan Hazama. Bermulalah rakaman single ini’’. Kata Noraniza Idris.

     

    ‘’Penerbitan single ini dipantau sepenuhnya oleh Datuk M.Nasir selaku penasihat single ini. Saya sangat berbesar hati dapat khidmat nasihat dari Datuk sebuah nama besar yang dihormati dalam industri muzik hingga kini’’. Tambah Noraniza Idris lagi.

     

    Sejajar dengan evolusi muzik dalam peredaran masa kini, Noraniza Idris & Hazama berharap semoga lagu duet ini di terima peminat muzik di Malaysia dan mendapat tempat di dalam hati masing – masing .

     

    Penawar Kita diharapkan agar dapat juga merentasi peringkat umur dan memberikan pengalaman bermakna kepada semua pendengar. Dengan semangat kolaboratif, mempersembahkan Penawar Kita sebagai nyanyian bersama yang berkuasa. Single ini meresap secara mendalam dalam hati mereka yang mencari keselesaan dan hubungan dalam bahasa muzik yang universal.

     

    Penawar Kita kini boleh didapati di semua platform muzik utama, seperti Spotify , Apple Music, Itunes dan juga Muzik Video akan mula ditayangkan di saluran Luncai Emas mulai 10 November 2023. Diharap semua dapat mendengar untuk mengalami perpaduan menawan melodi tradisional dan moden yang membawa kedamaian.

    A GOOD CHOICE FOR SAFE BABY CARE

    KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – 20 0CTOBER 2023 – Applecrumby is one brand in Malaysia that produces baby brands which are safe , natural and affordable baby essentials. Besides that, these brands have a mission to provide peace of mind and support to new parents. Applecrumby gets inspired by parents and driven by the lack of safe, high quality baby products on the market. They want affordable, high quality baby diapers and products to make it easy  for parents to give their baby needs for life.

     

    Applecrumby® diapers are 100% Totally Chlorine-Free and made with their GreenCore-Dry™ technology to keep your baby dry and comfortable without harmful chemicals. The founders of Applecrumby® were inspired to create their own safe and natural baby products when they couldn’t find any that met their standards. Now, their diapers are helping families across the world provide their babies the best possible care. 

     

    Building on the success of their award-winning diapers, Applecrumby® is now introducing PureBasics™, a new range of affordable diapers that are 100% Totally Chlorine-Free and made with their GreenCore-Dry™ technology. This means that parents can give their babies the same trusted safety and comfort without breaking the bank. Inspired by mothers like Jesmine Tan, who co-founded Applecrumby® because she couldn’t find safe and affordable diapers for her own family, PureBasics™ diapers make it possible for more families to give their babies a healthy and happy start in life.

    With PureBasics™, Applecrumby® is making it possible for every parent to give their baby a healthy and happy start in life, regardless of their circumstances.

     

    Applecrumby® is now available at Dagee Baby in Sri Muda, Shah Alam! 

    Parents can now see and feel Applecrumby’s high-quality, safe, and affordable baby products in person at the new store-in-store section. Applecrumby® diapers, for example, are made with natural pulp from Finland and are globally lab-certified 100% Totally Chlorine-Free. They also soak up well for up to 12 hours of wetness, ensuring babies stay dry so both parents and baby can have a peaceful night’s sleep.

     

     Applecrumby® Launches “Return – Recycle – Repeat” Program to Create a Sustainable Future for Babies

     Applecrumby® is taking action to help the planet, and they’re inviting parents to join them at Dagee Baby in Sri Muda, Shah Alam. Applecrumby® is launching a “Return – Recycle – Repeat” program. Parents can bring back 8 used Applecrumby® bottles or tubes and, in return, they can pick up any cleaning or skincare product for just RM8. “

    This is not just a promotion, it is a promise,” says Sean Tan, co-founder of Applecrumby®. “We care about giving kids not only the best now but also a cleaner world to grow up in.”

     

     CELEBRATING A MOMENTOUS MILESTONE WITH UNBEATABLE DEALS

    Applecrumby® is celebrating its 11th anniversary this October, and to show their gratitude to their loyal customers, they’re offering some amazing deals both online and in-store.

It is a big ‘thank you’ to all the parents who have believed in us and let us be a part of their special journey with their kids.”

     

     Applecrumby® is a story of love, family, and innovation that began in 2012. The brand was founded by a husband-and-wife team in Malaysia after the birth of their daughter.

    The couple was committed to creating a diaper that was not only safe and gentle but also environmentally friendly. They spent months researching and testing different materials and designs until they found the perfect combination.

     

     But why did they choose the name Applecrumby®? For the founders, the name Applecrumby® represents the essence of childhood, with its sweet and innocent connotations. Apples are a symbol of health and vitality, while “crumby” refers to the little moments of messiness and joy that come with raising a baby. Applecrumby® wants to not only embrace all the joy that comes with raising a baby,but all the chaos that comes with it too.

     

    Today, Applecrumby® is a name that parents all over Asia trust. It stands for top-notch quality and the safest baby essentials. It is more than just diapers, Applecrumby® is about a parent’s deep love, wanting the very best for their kids, and hoping for a cleaner, greener world for them to grow up in. They have created diapers that are both safe and effective, and products that parents can trust that are free from any nasties. It is all about being clear and open, and understanding what parents go through. With Applecrumby®, parents can be comforted knowing that their babies are in good hands. Applecrumby® Promises 100% Chlorine-Free DiapersInnovation for Your Baby’s Health

     

     Applecrumby® is a baby care brand that prioritizes safety, quality, and affordability.
