Amry’s Guide on How to Write A Malay Song for Dummies

  1. write about how your girlfriend left you / how her parents won’t let her see you anymore
  2. whine about it. Throughout the whole album

   If you still have a semblance of career after this, rinse and repeat ad nauseam.

   Srsly, I’ve been listening to these sorts of songs since… forever. Can’t we seriously have a song that is not about how heartbroken you are? M. Nasir might be a pretentious pseudophilosopher, but at least he managed to show some creativity. Are we as a race that mundane? Forget Wawasan 2020, we need a new generation of artists that doesn’t suck.

   Look at that girl. She’s singing about peaches; so why aren’t we singing about our foodstuffs, eh? How about injecting a little variety into our musical scene, for God’s sake?
