Tapi saya enggak peduli dengan yang mencibir," ungkap Mike saat ditemui dalam peluncuran manuscript kompilasi Album Rohani Terdahsyat DAMAI BERSAMA-MU' di KFC Kemang, Jakarta Selatan pada Senin (05/12) lalu.
Ketika ditanya apa makna Natal 2011 bagi Mike, penyanyi 28 tahun tersebut mengaku bahwa Natal adalah pendewasaan diri. Walaupun usianya sudah hampir kepala tiga, namun jebolan Indonesian Idol ini mengaku belum juga mampu berpikir dewasa.

Dibentuk Pasha, Yangseku Kalahkan Ungu
December 5, 2011

Meski baru saja eksis di belantika musik Tanah Air, Yangseku sangat yakin bisa mendapat tempat tersendiri di hati masyarakat. Dengan menawarkan sesuatu yang original, mereka ternyata sempat mengalahkan Ungu dan musisi-musisi terkenal lainnya.
‘Pujaan Hati’ memang menjadi singular pertama mereka yang dirilis awal 2011 lalu. Namun tampaknya sudah banyak yang menyukai lagu tersebut hingga twin Fenti dan Putri bisa mengalahkan senior-seniornya dalam hal penjualan RBT (ring behind tone).
Dalam beberapa minggu mereka bisa menduduki puncak tertinggi dalam penjualan RBT di Tanah Air. “Kita sempat beberapa minggu menduduki puncak, bahkan sampai mengalahkan Ungu,” ujar Putri .
Menurutnya pecinta musik di Tanah Air memang sangat tertarik dengan karya yang simple dengan lirik yang mudah diingat. Meski masih menjual lagu-lagu tentang cinta dan patah hati, Yangseku juga melirik segmen religi.
“Kita tetap soal cinta, putus cinta dan kangen. Tapi ada juga yang religi,” ungkapnya.
Yangseku memang menawarkan suatu karya yang patut diacungi jempol dengan menciptakan sendiri lagu-lagu mereka. Bahkan sampai saat ini sudah hampir delapan lagu yang akan segera dibuat menjadi manuscript perdana mereka.
“Beberapa lagu sudah ada, tapi untuk saat ini masih single-single dulu, kemungkinan awal tahun depan akan rilis album,” tutur Fenti.
Industri musik memang diyakini mereka tengah mengalami penurunan terlebih setelah kasus RBT dan SMS reward yang sempat membuat musisi-musisi geram. Lalu adakah strategi penjualan dari Yangseku maupun pihak Inzpire selaku label?
“Kita akan membuat format yang berbeda. Kita mau coba masukin manuscript di distro-distro dengan memasukan sell dan t-shirt ke dalam bundel penjualan,” ungkap Wina Natalia selaku bos Inzpire.

Album Baru Bieber Transisi Vokal Dewasa
November 29, 2011

LOS ANGELES - Album baru Justin Bieber, kabarnya akan menjadi sebuah manuscript transisi untuk menjadi sebuah rekaman dewasa.
Kuk Harrell, pelatih vokal Bieber menjelaskan, manuscript baru tersebut akan membuat penggemarnya membiasakan diri dengan warna vokal Bieber yang sudah berubah agak berat.
“Satu-satunya percakapan yang kami miliki tentang manuscript Justin ini membicarakan hal yang sangat penting, yakni tentang transisi suaranya yang jauh berbeda dengan saat menyanyikan Baby. Aku benar-benar melihatnya tumbuh semakin besar,” kata Harrell, seperti dikutip Digitalspy, Selasa (29/11/2011).
“Kita juga tidak bisa langsung membawanya pada lagu dewasa, kita juga memikirkan yang tepat. Transisi suara ini harus dicarikan jalan yang pale baik, dan manuscript Bieber harus seperti itu,” lanjutnya.
Harrell menyatakan, dirinya sangat mendukung keputusan kekasih Selena Gomez itu merilis manuscript Natal. Dia percaya, bahwa Bieber tumbuh dengan perkembangan musik yang bagus di usianya yang masih 17 tahun.
“Itu sebabnya, saya benar-benar merasa manuscript Natal ini penting. Semua ini agar para penggemarnya bisa secara perlahan mendengarkan suaranya yang mulai berubah, dan luar biasa dengan perubahan tersebut,” tutupnya.
