#SHOWBIZ: Aisha Retno denies bias over AIM25 nomination

KUALA LUMPUR: Singer Aisha Retno has denied rumors of bias in her Best Pop Song nomination for the 25th Anugerah Industri Muzik (AIM25), despite the song's composer, Ajai, serving as a head judge. The 26-year-old, whose full name is Sharifah Aisha Retno Sayed Sipulijam, clarified that multiple judges assess all entries, ensuring a collective decision rather than a single individual's choice.

She expressed gratitude for her track "Diari Air Mata," which may not be as well-known as her hit songs but is her most underrated. Aisha remains optimistic that this AIM25 recognition will help establish the ballad's popularity. She believes in pushing creative boundaries, irrespective of how her artistic choices are received, emphasizing her dedication to the industry.

Aisha is among the top contenders at AIM25, having received eight nominations across various categories, including Best Female Vocal Performance, Best Pop Song, and Best Local English Song.
