Yippi Star Quest 2020 Champion Returns With A Malay Version Of The Hit Mandarin Single ‘Jiu Meng Xin Su’
KUALA LUMPUR, 1st October 2021 - Champion of Yippi Star Quest 2020, beating over 3,000 other contestants from all over Southeast Asia, the young and beautiful songstress from Kulim, Kedah, Siti Nurmasyitah Mohd. Yusoff or fondly known as Masya Masyitah releases a Malay version of the hit Mandarin single Jiu Meng Xin Su entitled ‘Remuk’ soon after its triumphant official launch back in June
“Praise to God, my first solo single in Mandarin, Jiu Meng Xin Su, was a huge success and received plenty of positive feedback, especially among Chinese listeners. And just after 3 months of its release, my fans hoped that I’d record it in Malay.
“And after a thorough discussion with my management, Rocketfuel Entertainment, they decided that a Malay version is inevitable, and Remuk was made,” she said.
Remuk or Jiu Meng Xin Su was composed by a famous local lyricist and composer, Kai Kai, together with renowned music producer, Ong Peng Chu, in the slow rock genre.
“I composed the song specifically for Masya because of her innate ability to sing fluently in Mandarin, while it was Peng Chu’s idea that she delivers it in the style of a Malay-slow-rock-number to give that sound of familiarity for the Malaysian audience,” Kai Kai explained.
According to Masya, “The lyrics for Remuk was altered with a different storyline but still ends with a love-tragedy by award-winning lyricist, Siso, and award-winning producer, Sharon Paul.
“In Remuk, it tells the story of a woman who falls into a marriage without the feeling of love and affection. Her then husband does not attend to her needs because of his own ego and leaves her feelings unattended, she tries and tries to win him over, day by day but to no avail, in the end she succumbs to self-deprivation, feeling trapped like a bird in a golden cage.
She added, “I was drawn straight away after the first time hearing the demo, and with such a tragic
storyline to add. Mr. Feros Sayna decided that Rocketfuel Entertainment should definitely produce this song without a doubt, and it was also him who suggested a Malay version should later follow suit.
While according to Mr. Jipie, the new Head of Label & Publishing, RocketFuel Entertainment, “Masya is our young and rising star with big potentials and great ability to sing well in Mandarin, and she has proven us thus far by winning the Yippi Start Quest 2020 competition beating more than 3,000 other contestants from all over Asia.
“I’m confident that the single Remuk will be hugely accepted by fans just as her previous Mandarin single, Jiu Meng Xin Su which garnered a lot of attention.
Remuk was successfully recorded within a day during the Movement Control Order (MCO) without any glitch.
Masya ended, “I hope everyone who listens to Remuk will enjoy it as much as the original version, and I still hope that one day, my songs, if given the chance, will penetrate the global Chinese market, In Shaa Allah.
Remuk is now available for download on iTunes Store and as a caller ringtone from all major telecommunication service providers nationwide, and could be easily streamed and enjoyed through various music-streaming portals 24/7 such as Apple Music, Spotify, Joox, YouTube Music, KKBox and Deezer, while the official music video (MV) is available for viewing exclusively on the Rocketfuel Network YouTube channel.
