I bet all of you, my readers in particular, don’t listen to Malay songs right?! Most of us think that Malay song just suck big time. (Okay this question is for the girls =p ) But how can you tell if the album is good just by looking at the CD Cover?

You got it right! Because Aliff Aziz or his full name, MD Aliff Aziz is a cutie and he rock big time!

Aliff Aziz is from Singapore and is a product of Singapore’s reality tv talent show, Anugerah 2007. He was crowned the winner of Anugerah 2007 and has released 2 album ever since. His first self titled album secured him a huge fan base in Malaysia and Singapore with his chart toping single, Sayang Sayang, garnering supports from teenage girls in both countries.

2 years down the road, Aliff is back and smoking with his 2nd’ album, “It’s Aliff’s Time”. Spotting 7 songs in his album including a minus one track of his single, Cinta, this album is gonna prove that Malay songs can be smoking hot!

1. Cinta 2.Miliku Saja. 3. Boom Boom Boom 4. Kalau Cinta 5. Kau Yang Ku Mahu 6. Selintau Kau Pergi 7. Puteri Khayalan Ku 8.Cinta (minus one)

As usual, what else can a cutie like him sing other than love themed songs? All of his songs speaks on relationship, heartbreak and love. Now you wonder why all the girls are screaming his name.

His single in this album, Cinta is a chart topper and definitely pleasant to the ears. Spotting a catchy tune and simple lyrics,this hit talks about him waiting for him lover to come back to his arms. Another notable track is Kalau Cinta. Its a collabo track featuring Joanna from Joanna and Co (indie band). The song is also just another layback track and is good for light listening. The only fallback of this track is that, Joanna’s vocal is overpowering Aliff’s in the chorus. It more like Joanna feat Aliff instead of the other way round.

This is my favourite track in the whole album – Selintas Kau Pergi. This track might just be the killer track to shut his critics as his stunning vocals was clearly demonstrated here. This ballad track is the only track in the album that features his stunning voice and also the reason he won Anugerah 2007. The melody was oh-so-awesome and i think its even better than Cinta. Of course the lyrics are a little deeper than the others, but i enjoyed every tiny bits of it. This should be the single instead of Cinta. – “Daun- daun gugur jiwaku melayang, Dengan hati beku terjang badai” (If you are not well verse with BM, you wont understand this track)

All in all, Aliff Aziz might just be the guy who could change your perception on Malay songs. Of course, don’t expect chart toppers like Lady Gaga or the awesome Kris Allen type of genre. Just prepare yourself for some light listening and layback tune and you’ll definitely appreciate his songs. I know i did and hell yea, Aliff Aziz rock!
