I'm da biggest fan of this woman. In short fanatic but i admire her voice n talent but not her personal life. So don ever ask me bout her tudung n her marriage. 4 me it's her personal life dat people don't have to interfere at all.
Forget bout her personal life. Let's talk bout her latest traditional album - Lentera Timur that means cahaya daripada timur. The exact meaning is all about her dream to look Malay Traditional music still ada dalam setiap jiwa orang Malaysia n Asia. Seriously mmg dh susah kita nak dengar lagu2 traditional nie. Me myself not big fan of traditional songs but her 1st attempt with her traditional song - Seri Mersing proved that she is one of bes singer kat Malaysia nie. Then i never miss her album whether pop or traditional albums.

Last 2 weeks after 4 years without any traditional album, she release her 4th traditional album. I bought it in 1st day release. Like the other albums. huhuhuhu.. I'm glad to be among the people who listen to this album.

So far after keep repeating bout 100 times, honestly what can i say the easy listening album coz almost all songs really keep my attention while listen to them. The concept for this album is Traditional Contemporary + Fusion. Consists of 11 song from well known composers + lyricists like M. Nasir, Pak Ngah, Johari Teh etc...

My Fave songs:-

• DI TAMAN TEMAN (1st single from this album)
• SENYUM MINANG MANIS (my personal favourite)
• ADA MASA MATA (M Nasir's with a lot of simple + nice lyrics)
• JELMAKANLAH AYUMU (Pak Ngah's confuse song coz the element of song consist of jazz + Latin + 70s )
• BINTANG MALAM (sound Thai + Chinese)
• BULAN YANG MESRA (da mendayu song n sound very classic)
• DI KAYANGAN KITA (balad song with the touch of classic sound)

Above tu among my fave song. Nak kata smua lagu aku minat but yg atas tu mmg 1st time dengar mmg melekat dlm kepala otak nie. The most important thing about this album is even the root is traditional but it sound modern with using string + violin (my fave instrument ever!!). Just like Siti said, she wants people listen to sumthing that traditional and at the same time mix with the current music - modern!!! Even byk sgt perubahan compare to Sanggar Mustika (her previous traditional album) in term of KEtraditionalAN muzik tu tp akar melayu asli tu still ada. xder la nak memoden kan semua lagu smpi keaslian liuk lentok lagu melayu tu xder langsung.

So far really love this album. Like I said earlier semua lagu dlam ni memang menangkap abis + catchy n easy listening. It's really different traditional album that I think everyone should have unless u don like Malay or Traditional album. Guess what 9 songs from this album di compose in just 3 days during da Traditional Songs Bengkel lasy year.

Last but not least Traditional Songs still have place in my heart..hehehehehe
