Local entertainer, Ning Baizura, isn’t wasting much time. She got married earlier in the month and kept her honeymoon short because a new album is about to be launched.

The long-awaited album will be released on Feb 26. The first single from EastToWest is Age Of Pollution, which can currently be heard on the airwaves.

There is an international feel to Ning’s new material. Her album EastToWest, distributed by EQ Music, is the brainchild of Luigi Bajona, (a radio and club DJ, as well as a classical pianist trained at Conservatoire Serge Rachmaninoff in Paris).

Bajona first met Ning in 2002 at one of her many showcases here. Their partnership began in 2004 with Ning touring Italy and Monte Carlo.

After the success of the tours, Bajona and his production partner, DJ Morano, decided it was time to record an international album. EastToWest was done in a “class-tronic” style, which is a mixture of classical music and electronica.

The new album is a new chapter in Ning’s career, which saw her start out as a teen pop star, then sultry disco diva, and later a back-to-basics Malay singer.

All 12 songs were recorded in London last May, with nine composers contributing to the album. The composers included Olivias Cinquemani, Valerio Vincentini, Scobi Ryder, B. Bajona, Marco Morano, Zara Ruban, Audi Mok, Paul Gelsomine and Ad Samad.
