#SHOWBIZ: Ziana Zain is proud of niece Ernie Zakri, now a famous singer
Ziana, 57, was referring to her niece, Ernie Zakri, 32, who is now a renowned female vocalist with a string of hit songs such as 'Masing Masing' and 'Aura'.
Proud of Ernie's achievements, Ziana admitted that she also never expected to share the stage with her niece.
They are both set to perform at the 'Empat Live In Kuala Lumpur 2025' concert at the Mega Star Arena KL on Oct 18.
"In 1998, Ernie sang the song 'Berpisah Jua' at my wedding. She was also my flower girl," Ziana recounted in jest.
"Even though the song choice was 'wrong,' who would have thought that the 'chubby' little girl wearing a ribbon on her head would now be a singer?"
"She used to watch us (Ziana and her brother Anuar Zain) sing. Now, Ernie and I will share not only the stage but also the fans," she was quoted as saying in a news report today, referring to the recent press conference for the 'Live In Kuala Lumpur 2025 Four Concerts' held here.
"For me, this is a very interesting combination because it involves two different generations."
Apart from Ziana and Ernie, Anuar Zain and Ernie's husband Syamel will also be performing at the concert. Ziana admitted she was thrilled that her dream of staging a concert with all four of them is finally coming true.

#SHOWBIZ: Bella marks a new chapter with 'Lebih Indah Berpisah'
A YEAR after finalising her second divorce, singer and actress Bella Astillah has released a heartfelt new single titled 'Lebih Indah Berpisah'. While many might assume the song reflects her current life, Bella insists it's not a direct account of her personal story. Bella, whose real name is Dayang Ara Nabella Awang Astillah, officially divorced actor-singer Aliff Aziz for the second time on June 13 last year. The couple first married on Sept 9, 2016. The single, composed and written by Indonesian musician Ade Govinda, was specially crafted for Bella. Describing the song as symbolic of her journey toward healing and moving forward, Bella, 31, says the timing of its release — coinciding with the first anniversary of her divorce — was coincidental. "When I first met Ade in Jakarta to record the song, I suddenly felt overwhelmed," she recalls. "I couldn't sing right away. The studio went silent. Everyone waited, but then I just burst into tears." That emotional moment became a cathartic turning point. "After letting it all out, I felt relieved. The recording then went smoothly," Bella recounts. "I couldn't hold back the sadness when the lyrics struck so close to home." Although the song was tailored for her, Bella emphasises that 'Lebih Indah Berpisah' is not entirely "autobiographical". Rather, her personal experience served as inspiration for Ade's writing. Originally titled 'Lebih Baik Berpisah', the final version uses the word indah ("beautiful") to emphasise hope and personal growth after separation. "The message is that not all breakups are dead ends," Bella explains."This song is about preparing oneself to begin anew. It's not about anger or regret, it's about rising from pain with renewed strength." She hopes the song resonates with others facing heartbreak. "I'm not the only one who's gone through this. This could be the story of many others too," she says. "Sometimes, separation is the best path forward. especially if the relationship can no longer be saved." Bella also views the single as a personal milestone: "This project challenged me vocally and emotionally. I didn't record it to compete with anyone, but to grow as an artiste and improve myself." Ade is equally grateful for the collaboration, which came about unexpectedly after Bella's cover of the song 'Masing Masing' — which Ade had originally composed for Ernie Zakri — went viral. "That cover led to this collaboration. It was all destined," Ade shares. "Bella is fast, professional, and easy to work with. I'm truly happy to collaborate with her." Ade also reveals his plans to pitch 'Lebih Indah Berpisah' as a soundtrack for an Indonesian drama series (sinetron). "This song isn't just a melody, it's an emotional expression, a tribute to the courage it takes to let go and pursue happiness," he adds. As Bella moves forward in her personal and professional life, 'Lebih Indah Berpisah' stands not just as a song, but as a powerful anthem of resilience and hope.

'Empat Live in KL 2025' concert brings Ziana family's dream to life
THE upcoming 'Empat Live in Kuala Lumpur 2025' concert will unite siblings Ziana Zain and Anuar Zain, along with their niece Ernie Zakri and nephew-in-law Syamel, on one stage for the very first time. Speaking about the concert, which will take place at Mega Star Arena in Bukit Bintang here on Oct 18, Anuar said it is a tribute to their family's artistic journey, while also establishing themselves as a brand in the local music industry. ''Empat' (four) isn't just a number. It's a collaboration among four artistes from the same family. We hope it will become a legacy and a historic moment for us. 'We also hope it will be something people talk about for a long time,' he said at a press conference recently. To further excite fans, the four will also be releasing a brand-new single in conjunction with the concert, centered around the theme of universal love and composed by Edry Abdul Halim. Anuar, who worked with Edry about 15 years ago on the hit song 'Sedetik Lebih', described him as a smart and experienced songwriter and composer. 'When we met Edry, he gave us two song options. But one of them really captured our hearts. Without saying much, the four of us immediately agreed once we heard it,' he said. Anuar added that Edry understood the vocal characteristics of all four singers and crafted an arrangement that suited them well, which made the recording process smooth from start to finish. Organised by Anuar Zain Network in collaboration with Altus ProHouse, 'Konsert Empat Live In Kuala Lumpur 2025' is expected to be one of the most memorable music events of the year. Meanwhile, Ziana said the concert not only fulfills the dreams of loyal fans who have supported their artistic journeys but also marks a special moment for their family. 'We want this concert to be the most meaningful moment in their (fans') lives and ours too. Hopefully, it becomes a beautiful story to be remembered even when we are no longer here,' she said, adding the concert is expected to feature over 20 songs which they will perform solo or as a duet or group. Ernie, who grew up watching her uncle and aunt performing on stage, described the concert as a dream come true. 'When I was told the concert was going to happen, I felt a mix of emotions – touched, overwhelmed and proud. This is a major moment in my life,' she said. The concert will be directed by Jennifer Thompson while the music director is Lee Sze Wan. Only 15 percent of the tickets for the concert are now remaining since they went on sale on April 25 and are available at — BERNAMA
