This year's Eid in Malaysia is so fascinating pop culturally - so for the respective language markets, Malaysian songwriters have been quietly (??) dominating the respective markets when it comes to festival songs (eg China gets our CNY music; Indonesia gets our Raya music; even southern India I think gets our Deepavali music but more commonly our people pen songs for their movies too) but it's always been quite separated for natural reasons. This year though I'm seeing more confluence. This isn't even the first Chinese Malaysian Raya song for 2025 that got on my feed lol. I think we're all collectively warming up to the upcoming Kongsi Raya (CNY and Eid will fall on the same set of days lmaoooo and naturally that's a pun on Gong Xi - as kongsi raya literally means "shared festival/holiday") from 2029 to 2031. We're going to be so stressed and useless 😂

my #PlaylistSEA track of the week from the newest morena pop girl 💅🏾

“It’s trying to get rid of the feeling that you’re not enough, empowering yourself to become your most confident and beautiful self, being unapologetically yourself to the world, showing who you are, showing your beauty and not being afraid to stand up for what you believe in.”

– Dia Maté on her single “Ganda-Gandahan”

Speaking of local MVs though, I'm so gutted that this song is under 3 mins long??? It's got everything I love - pop-rap fusion but with local popular music genre, killer dance moves and a nusantara setting (though in recent years I'm noticing there's been more and more of this). Oh, and incorporating the Malaysian Sign Language!

This is in Malay mostly so probably won't be as internationally famous as the other Malaysian CNY songs 😂, but it is very cute and funny (well, of course, it's Douglas Lim). Happy Chinese New Year! Happy Lunar New Year! (Tomorrow, by my calendar)
