Introducing...P.O.P (Prince of Pop)!!
Formerly known as Da Prinz and P.R.Inc., they are now known as P.O.P (stands for Prince of Pop). The group has been in the music industry for quite some time now and they are mostly known by the Sabahan music lovers as all the group members hail from the Land Below the Wind and they have done many shows there. They even released their first single album entitled "Ada Hiivai Dandi Toh" - a Kadazan phrase which basically means "Don't forget our promises". The group members consist of Allen, Aegy, Melvin and the new member, Benny.
Allen a.k.a 'Aye'
Aegy
Vin
Benny
They are taking another leap by putting their best foot forward to be recognized in the mainstream industry with the help of Cat Farish (The Fabolous Cat) under the record label of Cat Presents Productions Sdn. Bhd. A single entitled "Buku Baru" has been released just recently. You can listen to it here.
By having a glimpse at their image, one can easily associate the group with K-Pop (Korean Pop) - especially the outfits! Stylo! Despite of their K-Pop-ish image, P.O.P actually are more into R&B and Soul genre of music. In terms of their appearance it is definitely K-Pop, however their music reminds me of Boyz II Men. Criticism is something that can't be avoided. People would judge their image and even their music. In my opinion, they've done nothing wrong by infusing some foreign elements to their music. After all, music is universal and music influence is something common happening all over the world. Take Hip Hop for example, you can listen to so many music injected with the element of Hip Hop - locally and internationally.
Yours truly would like to wish all the best to P.O.P and hope you guys will come out with more great music! Dari kamu seja baitu! =) Make Sabah proud too!
