GEORGE TOWN, Dec 6 (Bernama) -- After nearly 15 years without releasing an album, singer and composer Aizat Amdan returns with his latest work titled ‘Simfoni Hati Beradu’.
Aizat, 36, said the mini album, built around a ‘KL City Pop’ concept, features five tracks with new and unique musical arrangements.
“This is my most personal project to date. Each song carries its own story and I want my fans to feel the emotions behind every melody.
“These five tracks are a tribute to an era that has shaped our local music industry until today. It is an ode to Kuala Lumpur, the place where I was raised,” he told Bernama.

He said the album draws inspiration from 1980s music, but with a local touch that reflects Kuala Lumpur’s identity.
Among the songs in the album are ‘Tegap Berdiri’, which speaks about rising again after repeated setbacks, and ‘Sendiri Aku Ok!’, which challenges the stigma that being single means being unhappy.
“The title track ‘Simfoni Hati Beradu’ tells the story of my own marriage… about two different individuals coming together and embracing each other’s differences. The song ‘Seperti Tak Pernah Engkau Bercinta’ serves as advice to a friend of mine recovering from heartbreak, while ‘Jika Kau Ada Seseorang’ is about appreciating every moment and every person in your life,” he said.

The former ‘Akademi Fantasia 5’ contestant said the album was produced by Izzy Musa, written by himself together with Mel Ramlan and Izzy, and mastered by Jeson Huang.
What makes the album more interesting is that each track, except the title song, was created through a Dari Studio podcast session.
“This podcast session emphasised live songwriting, with the rule that each song had to be completed by the end of the session. They also allowed listeners to experience the actual process of music creation and understand how ideas evolve into songs,” he said.
All five tracks from the album are available on digital platforms starting today.
