“Pulau Janji is a concept place where i discard all my thoughts, musings and creative writings in music or poetry. During the making of the album, plenty of the songs came through my dreams in excerpts which i then translate into melody or through writing. With this album completed, soon the time will come for me to get out of the imaginary promised island/ pulau janji.” – Hunny Madu.
FLY FM DJ and singer/songwriter Hunny Madu will be launching her debut album ‘Pulau Janji’ together with a one night only showcase at KLPAC, Pentas 2, 10th June (Press Conference) & 11th June (Showcase).
