FOR singer-songwriter Kael, ‘Senyum’ is more than a new song.

#SHOWBIZ: Kael spreads hope through music, faith and a smile

Singer-songwriter Kael, whose real name is Michael Lean Chien, is spreading hope through his new single Senyum, a soulful pop and R&B track. The song is a reflection of Kael's four-year spiritual journey, a desire to approach life with optimism, and the courage to pick oneself up after difficult moments. Produced by Alternate Records, Senyum features a relaxed vocal delivery with emotional depth, exploring themes of healing and the different meanings behind a smile.

The artist says the song encourages listeners to take a step back from daily routines and find happiness, reminding them that a new beginning can start with just a smile. Kael's optimism comes amidst a significant personal change, as he recently embraced Islam after a year-long spiritual search. While Engku Sulwani, his girlfriend and model, has been a catalyst for his conversion, Kael insists love was not the main reason for his decision.

He plans to take a gradual approach to his new faith, including a Fardu Ain course, before considering marriage, which he hopes to do within the next year. During the launch of Senyum, Kael surprised Engku Sulwani with a proposal, adding a romantic touch to the artist's multifaceted journey of faith, love, and music. Senyum is now available for streaming and download on major digital platforms.
