I will not forget my musical DNA and identity - Aina Abdul

Singer Aina Abdul is exploring a new musical direction with her latest singles, "Berjauh-an" and "Sadis." While known for her powerful, high-pitched vocals and ballads, Abdul aims to expand her musical spectrum without abandoning her signature style. She explained that the change is not about leaving her vocal strengths behind but rather developing her artistry.

“

I will never forget my musical DNA and identity. I just hope you all are patient because I am not a singer who sings high notes all the time.

"I will never forget my musical DNA and identity. I just hope you all are patient because I am not a singer who sings high notes all the time. I would get tired if I sang high notes constantly," Abdul told Utusan Malaysia. She noted that her vocal range has been increasing yearly, and for this year, she is shifting her strategy to focus on deeper emotions rather than just hitting high notes.

“

I would get tired if I sang high notes constantly. If you look at my journey, the notes I sing get higher every year. So the graph is always increasing.

Abdul believes that each career phase requires a different approach and that artists must evolve with the times. She values her existing fanbase but also seeks to attract new listeners and connect with a younger generation. "I need to understand what they like to hear and what resonates with their souls. What I see is that the current generation really appreciates honest and easily understandable messages," she shared.

“

This year I want to change strategy. Maybe the notes are not too high, but the feeling is heavier and deeper.

Addressing concerns that fans might struggle to accept her musical shift, especially in competitive settings like award shows, Abdul remains unfazed. She believes honesty in creation is more important than meeting expectations. Citing artists like Amir Jahari, Ana Raffali, and Yuna, she noted that strong emotion can be conveyed without high-pitched singing. "For me, all that is subjective. Whatever genre is presented, if the story and message come with honesty, I hope people can feel it. That's enough," she stated.

I really appreciate the listeners who always support me. I love you all. But at the same time, I also dream of having more new listeners.
