  • Koko Kaina


    Oh bother.

    The last time I attempted to blog was during the last exam fiasco. And now its still the same. Exams are approaching and I'm guessing little bored me will start ranting here again. Soooo I dunno who still visits this place, but whoever you are, am sorry for the non-existing entries

    Today's entry is about this Malaysian singer/songwriter Koko Kaina who my bud Rashdan intro-ed me to on youtube. She's been called the Marie Digby of Malaysia, but personally I prefer Koko's style of singing. And also plus that teeny weeny fact thats shes Malaysian bred  (shadddap I'm biased )

    Simple repetitive progression, a sweet nursing voice, and unique singing style is what makes her a youtube sensation (she's had a vid featured on youtube feature). But her true gift in my opinion is her ability to write lyrics. Good rhyming lyrics are hard to come by these days, but shes managed to pull it off with pleasing and comfortable melodies to go with it. Though my writing cant express much, heres a link to one of her vids. Also my favorite



    I showed this video to two of my housemates and both shed tears. Not surprising. I bet you will too, especially if you've had that 'someone' you used to know. She doesn't show her face on most of her vids for the reason of wanting people to focus on the feel of the song rather than her face, which she assured is nothing much. All of us beg to differ

    Oh oh apparently shes been signed under Jack Johnson's label!! She is supposedly to record an album with his band in L.A. Like...omgwtfbbq!!!!!!!! I hope she makes it big in the states, but not soon so that she can play a few gigs in KL this summer and then I could watch when I come back

    Wooo..nice first post. *pats on own back*. More to come..

    Oh bother..
