Timur Releases Debut Single & Video “NOT A CRIMINAL”
Timur’s electro-pop sound is influenced by K-pop acts such as Blackpink and 2NE1 while also reminiscent of soulful girl pop icons like Rihanna and Beyoncé. Timur’s debut single “NOT A CRIMINAL” evokes all the confidence and vibrancy of Fifth Harmony’s “Bo$$”. The lyrics detailing the inner battle within you, are contrasted by her fierce, assertive tone. Charismatic vocals paired with a bold backdrop create an ideal tune of empowerment and strength.
Produced and mixed by Gustav Efraimsson (Monsta X/NKOTBSB) in Sweden, “Not A Criminal” assembles top-notch pop and dance collaborators – Hayden Bell (EXO/Super Junior), Ronny Svendsen (Girl’s Generation/ITZY), Anne Judith (NCT 127/Kylie Minogue) and Gustav himself.
Apart from recording the single in 3 languages (English, Malay, and Mandarin), the multitalented and multilingual songstress also marks a historic moment for the music industry by performing in a 4-part music video series directed by an action film director, Datuk Yusry Abdul Halim.

Leyla Romanova finds strength in silence on new release “Self-Control”
Leyla Romanova‘s new single, “Self-Control,” is a powerful emotional release that feels more like a manifesto for surviving modern chaos than a song. In a world of opinions, urgency, and emotional exhaustion, Romanova offers a track based on one radical idea: not reacting.
“Self-Control” immediately creates tension and clarity. The drums keep everything together with discipline and purpose. As the textured instrumentals expand like waves of thought through a crowded mind, the bass anchors the listener emotionally.
The contrast between outside noise and inside stillness makes the song compelling. Romanova’s work captures the feeling of being overwhelmed by pressure, opinions, and distractions while silently retaining personal peace. There are no major uprisings. But restraint is power. The song knows energy conservation is a survival strategy.

J’mall expresses the pain of chasing someone else’s success over your own on “Unattainable”
J’mall’s latest single, “Unattainable,” expresses the pain of chasing someone else’s success over your own. The song explores the emotional void caused by constant comparison rather than motivation.
“Unattainable” is about realizing that no matter how hard one works to meet others’ expectations, the reward will never be satisfying. J’mall explores the stress of “keeping up with the Joneses” and the exhaustion of comparing yourself to standards that weren’t meant for you.
The song’s honesty resonates, the message doesn’t feel preachy or polished. It feels personal, like J’mall is sharing life lessons. The record’s quiet strength is its embrace of individuality and personal responsibility without pretending it’s easy.
