During the concert on 5th July 2025 (Saturday), Della wowed the crowd with her powerful vocals and emotional performances. The last time the vocalist was in town was two years ago, so it's no surprise that fans were excited to see her back in KL. Della was equally happy to see her Malaysian fans, showering them with praise for their enthusiasm during the show. Throughout the night, the 43-year-old made an effort to interact with fans as much as possible, greeting them with hi-5s and handshakes. As another show of appreciation to her local fans, Della also prepared a surprise performance. During the encore session, the star went on stage in a red Nyonya Kebaya to perform the Malay duet 'Masing-Masing' by Ernie Zakri and Ade Govinda. The 'Masing-Masing' performance was a Malaysia exclusive, so only fans at Mega Star Arena got to hear Della sing the song live. After the surprise stage, the singer laughed in glee and said, 'Wearing traditional clothes, I suddenly feel that I have become elegant'. She also made sure to show her Malay skills, telling fans 'terima kasih (thank you)' and 'aku cinta padamu (I love you)' before ending the concert.

Malaysian rapper Kmy Kmo and versatile singer Halim rev up for their new single with a social message: 'Layar Boneka'
'This one comes with a sound advice, ' says versatile Malaysian singer Halim and well-known rapper Kmy Kmno on their new single 'Layar Boneka', which was released to the masses last week. Halim and Kmy Kmo said this song is just not for entertainment, as it also comes with a strong message for the people in this country. 'We want to speak up, we don't just want to sing," said the duo, for the song was created by Kmy Kmo himself and HMstatenine. Kmy Kmo, a well-known name in the local entertainment world, is a rapper famous for his unique voice, rap style, and his songs also have always had meaningful lyrics. Meanwhile, Halim, an artistic figure who is more comfortable with free expression, infuses soul into every verse of his singing, while also being active in entrepreneurial activities. Kmy Kmo's recent effort was 'Ke Mana Ni', a smash hit single which he collaborated with his good friends Luca Sikta and Salammusik. That effort was also about the current living conditions and issues youths face in the city. As for the new song, Halim and Kmy Kmo said they were excited about working together for the first time. "I was happy to duet with Kmy Kmo and record a song together because I see him as a versatile rapper and also as an element of Nusantara music in his music. "It just so happens that I am interested in the music that Kmy brings. I am also interested in various genres such as Slow Rock, Pop Ballad, and Hip Hop. But I prefer the Hip Hop music genre," said Halim. "Getting to know Kmy Kmo from the filming set for the Astro Oasis TV programme produced by my own company, titled Manhajj Mutawiff, has inspired me to move more into the recording studio. Kmy Kmo has been involved in producing the theme song for the programme." The 'Layar Boneka' single has also become the starting point in the collaboration of Halim & Kmy Kmo's partnership for the current Malay rapper/hip hop music market, which is also popular in Singapore, Indonesia and Brunei. The concept of this song highlights an emotional vocal struggle, calling for courage, self-esteem and determination to rise from the fall and use slander as a stepping stone to continue to stand firm. The song recording and music arrangement were done by song producer – HMstatenine, featuring a combination of modern pop, contemporary ballads, and Malay hip hop elements, creating a musical experience that is not only sonically interesting but also emotionally touching. 'This song is for those who have been silent for too long because of the suffocating insults; it's time for us to level it all out,' said Halim. Kmy added that: "I believe Halim has a unique voice that could be said to be very suitable for the Kapak Rock or Malay Rock Genre. He is also a friend who is very diligent and sincere in learning something new, daring to challenge himself. It was a brilliant experience working with him." Kmy added that he hopes the messages in the lyrics of this song can be conveyed to all the communities in the country. "This is a song for everyone who has gone through life under very tough circumstances," he added. Top local producer Luncai Emas is also acting as digital distributor for this song. The official audio and music video for 'Layar Boneka' are available on all digital channels and the Luncai Emas YouTube channel.
