By Reeta Sidhu

She's one hell of a talker and not bad an actress. Then of course was the time when she entertained kids. Now, Sarimah is concentrating on her singing career. Sarimah Ibrahim, one of Malaysia's premier VJ turned actress has just released her first single entitled"Kini Kau Tiada."Though her album was slated for an end May release, the single that comes in two versions (Malay and English) is expected by the recording label, Positive Tone, to be a sure-fire hit on all the radio stations.To date,"Kini Kau Tiada"has been the No. 1 song on the RFM charts for two consecutive weeks -- ahead of other hits by more established local artistes such as Ferhad, M. Nasir and Siti Nurhaliza."I'm so excited and I can't wait to hear the reactions from my fans,"explained the multi-talented young lady who is very pleased with the outcome of her first single.The tracks are heavily nourished with elements of pop and sees Sarimah doing her own vocal acrobats and leaps. The videos for these tracks have also been shot and will be shown on TV very soon, so be on the lookout and while you're on the look-out, don't miss the release of her album, which is expected to be VERY soon!
