First Listens ¡V "Inilah Jac¨ (Dated 6/07/06)
Milo & me were fortunate enough to be invited as representatives of Jacsville (now acknowledged as the official fan club) to the pre-launch press conference & listening party which was held yesterday 5th July 2006 at Sony BMG's office, and had the privilege to have a first listen to 8 out of 10 tracks from Jac's new album ¡§Inilah Jac¡¨. We also managed to videotape the entire proceedings as well, the transcripts of which we will publish here shortly.
It's 4.40am in the morning and I just finished having a second listen from the captured video. I have to tell you guys this, "Inilah Jac¨ is gonna be MASSIVE!!! I loved every single track on the album. It definitely looks like this album is gonna churn out more than a few hits and win another string of awards. I can almost guarantee the first single ¡§Cepat Cepat¡¨ (written by Mode Ruffedge) is gonna get tremendous airplay, and will be a mega hit for Jac. It's so fresh and very different, that you guys are gonna be in for a treat.
I also absolutely love the power ballad by Azlan Abu Hassan called ¡§Cinta Tiada Akhir¡¨, which I believe will be the staple of every Malay music lover for many years to come. Another massive hit in the making, is "Inilah Masanya¨ (written by Audi Mok), which will simply get you jumpin out of your chair.
I can also see the refreshed version of "Layu Sebelum Berkembang¨, originally popularized by Emilia Contessa, as another fan favourite. Jac is just awesome on this track.
Both the extreme urban tracks "Star¨ (OIAM theme song) & "Jealous¨ (both written by Kieran Kuek) will definitely find favour with the hip crowd, and everyone at Rentak Sejuta. I especially love "Jealous¨ with its Indian inspired intro and funky arrangements.
Last but not least is the other power ballad by Azlan Abu Hassan called "Selagi Bertahan¨ which no one else but Jac does best. Another crowd pleaser.
At the time of the pre-launch, the other 2 songs were not as yet available for listens, but from the facial expressions and body language of everyone involved, these may be the secret arsenal, that will complete and seal the deal for an explosive second effort.
On the whole, this looks and feels like one tremendous album which I am almost certain will make history. Izham (CEO of 8TV) summed it up best: "An extraordinary album for an extraordinary singer¨. Couldn't agree more.
I can't wait to lay my hands on my copy. Actually COPIES to be exact. I know I will need a few cause I am gonna wear out those CDs for sure.
