Launch: “Cemburu” the single
An array of accomplishments has been achieved, and carved out by Amanda Imani in her artistic career during 2011, including the achievement as Best Vocal Female Artist at the Planet Music Awards 2011 (APM 2011) in Singapore. However, 2012 promises many exciting surprises from this young, aspiring and talented musician.
Aren’t you envious of her achievements in a short period of time? Please don’t be, because this Capricorn lady is ultimately dedicated and is extremely working hard in proving her talent and ability to all music lovers in Malaysia.
Opening the curtain to her musical debut this mid January 2012, Amanda Imani emerges with the single “Cemburu” where she pairs with Malique in a duet.
Composed and written by Malique who has achieved his own phenomenon in the music industry after being with Joe Flizzow by Too Phat, the single “Cemburu” is published by Amanda Imani Productions, distributed by Warner Music Malaysia and will soon be distributed and played around the local radio stations.
What is interesting about the single “Cemburu” is, it features Amanda Imani on so many different levels, because the single not only centres on the core of R & B, but also incorporates the elements of hip hop, rapping and turn table, however at the same time, it still holds firm on every Malay element.
What comes through from the single “Cemburu” is, Amanda Imani wants to prove she is capable to create music that is edgy, daring and bursting with energy, but at the same time, still incorporating her feminine characteristics.
In fact, Amanda Imani hopes that with the release of “Cemburu”, it will be able to show a difference in the music industry, throughout her musical journey.
“I hope the fans and listeners will be able to accept this difference and not be surprised by the changes I have embraced. As a singer and musician I evolve to make these changes and at the same time expand the genre of music that I bring,” she said.
“Cemburu” is the beginning of Amanda Imani artistic career move this year. Of course, Amanda Imani will not stay silent for long. Apart from “Cemburu,” Amanda Imani has plans to appear with a follow- up single in conjunction with her studio album due this year too.
In conjunction with the launch of the single “Cemburu,” Amanda Imani will also make a surprise when this rendition is to be accompanied by two dancers. She will be away from the guitar and piano as in her other performances before. It’s an extraordinary performance this evening, yet never seen before by Amanda Imani. A performance that will be captivating to all who attends today’s event.
Interestingly as well, Amanda Imani will launch her own branding logo. A result of a combination of the letter ‘A’ from Amanda and the letter ‘I’ from Imani, settled on a butterfly shape with the use of bronze and gold as its corporate colors.
Symbolically, the butterfly represents refinement and tenderness, but it is capable of the shock effect, to face all possibilities and overcome all obstacles. The butterfly is a symbol of harmony of melodies, which exudes from Mother Nature, regardless of time constraints. With the creation of her own branding, it will ease Amanda Imani to produce her own merchandise.
Along with the launch of this single “Cemburu,” get hold of Amanda Imani’s sizzling calendar which contains 14 portraits of her face with a total make-up transformation of her facial portraits, courtesy of Shiseido. Amanda Imani is also grateful to receive jewelry sponsorship from Rafflesia and much appreciation to Shiseido and Rafflesia for their invaluable contribution.
Interestingly, the launch of her new single, “Cemburu” and Amanda Imani’s corporate logo, has also obtained the partnership of Hilton, Kuala Lumpur. Meanwhile, the make-up of Amanda Imani at today’s event along with door gifts, are courtesy of L’Oreal Paris, Malaysia. Amanda Imani will also be wearing jewelry courtesy of Rafflesia at the launch of this single, “Cemburu.”
What is interesting about “Cemburu”….
“Cemburu” is a song that speaks about the emotions and feelings of a woman who is always in a state of discomfort to see the man she loves continuously surrounded by beautiful women.
Her lover tries to deny he is unfaithful by stating that although he may seem quite intimate with these women, but only she reigns in his heart. Because of her continued jealousy, she is perpetually in disbeliev and asks her lover to choose between the other women or her.
How the single, “Cemburu” was born?
As a refined singer, musician and one who has an enormous dream in this field, Amanda Imani has long wanted to keep the dream of working with several prominent artists and composers in this country. Among them M. Nasir, Ella, Joe Flizzow, Malique and One Nation Emcees. In fact, she also has intent to collaborate with singers from Indonesia, namely Agnes Monica.

“I have longed to work with Malique. Furthermore, I am the biggest fan of Too Phat. I grew up listening to their songs. So, I took the decision to approach Malique early last year and requested songs from him.
“Malique returned to me with three songs. One of them is “Cemburu.” Once I heard the song, I was immediately impressed and loved it. I love the swing and feel of it. It has elements of hip hop music which is the signature genre of Malique and Too Phat.
“What touched me is, before preparing the composition of the single “Cemburu,” Malique first researched who I am, my vocal strengths and the kind of music that is synonymous to me.
“It was a great experience working with him. He is unique and creative. In fact, what I can say is, he is an extraordinary musician. But, one thing, I liked, he is open to every idea and opinion from me,” said
Amanda Imani.
The experience of recording the single, “Cemburu”
“Cemburu” was recorded in a day at Platinum Studios and it was vocally challenging for Amanda Imani.
“In contrast to the songs I’ve ever brought before this, I needed to master both high and low notations of the track with a maximum impact. It is quite challenging but it was fun at the same time.
“At the same time I needed 10 layers of background vocals for this song. It was the most I’ve ever done. Prior to this, I have only done one layer of background vocals,” said Amanda Imani.
From the point of melody, musical composition and the music arrangement, it has significant differences with the songs that I have brought in the past,” said Amanda Imani.
“It’s a song that is quite fast with the ever present of an electric guitar and turntable from DJ Jocular. So, the beat is quite different. But I liked it the first time I heard it and I also believe I could carry it to my best abilities,” said Amanda Imani again.
Malique’s opinion as a producer, composer, lyricists and a duet artiste?
“I am excited to work with a singer with an enormous talent and calibre like Amanda Imani. I wish this song would help Amanda achieve the accolade and the honour she rightfully deserves”.

Social media guidelines for journalists

time January 10th, 2012 | category Category: Tips |
comment No Comments »

For the generation that came of age on Facebook, you might think there’s nothing they don’t already know about social media.

Think again.

  1. Traditional ethics rules still apply online.
  2. Assume everything you write online will become public.
  3. Use social media to engage with readers, but professionally.
  4. Break news on your website, not on Twitter.
  5. Beware of perceptions.
  6. Independently authenticate anything found on a social networking site.
  7. Always identify yourself as a journalist.
  8. Social networks are tools not toys.
  9. Be transparent and admit when you’re wrong online.
  10. Keep internal deliberations confidential.

Last week, the American Society of News Editors (ASNE) released a 50-page PDF (download here) of “helpful guidelines for news organizations”: 10 Best Practices for Social Media. The list above appears on page 3.

What journalism students don’t know CAN hurt them, and I can guarantee that a lot of them don’t understand numbers 2, 4, 5, 9 and 10. The guide from ASNE provides a really nice way for each of the 10 points to be discussed in the classroom. For example:

Take caution in friending sources on Facebook. There’s some disagreement among editors about whether accepting or making “friend” requests is okay. … Another problem on Facebook is “likes” and “fan pages.” To watch Tim Pawlenty’s video that announced he was creating an exploratory committee for a presidential run — an important news story — reporters had to click a “like” button, which then generated an entry on their own Facebook page that they liked Pawlenty. But there was no other choice. (p. 9)

Yes, this generation lives on Facebook. No, they have not thought about the professional ramifications.

Here’s an example of something you might think would never happen in a top-class newsroom:

New York Times Executive Editor Bill Keller wanted to keep his staff in the loop about planning for a pay wall. At a meeting, though, several reporters tweeted what he said. They spilled the beans, which were quickly picked up by a myriad of blogs and other news organizations. What he said became a story, and then a subsequent chiding of the staff for tweeting led to more stories. Now the ground rules are clear at meetings. Reporters are expected not to tweet private deliberations. (p. 16)

Pages 17 – 50 provide the text of specific news organizations’ social media policies.
