KRUmania is the debut compilation album by Malaysian boy band, KRU. It was released on 3 March 1997 by EMI Music Malaysia. The compilation includes several of their popular songs, as well as new material.[1][2]
Background
[edit]To mark their fifth year in the Malaysian music industry, KRU began selected some of their popular hits for what would become KRUmania.[3] They selected "Cherrina" from Canggih (1992), two songs from reKRUed (1993), eight songs from both Awas! (1994) and Awas! da' Soundtrack (1995) and three songs from Ooh! La! La! (1996). KRU also included a medley of their tracks from their first three albums. They felt that the compilation revolves on their life experience throughout their music career.[4] The album also included three new songs, including "Fanatik", its lead single.[5]
KRU also recorded new version of P. Ramlee's "Getaran Jiwa", a theme song for his 1960 film, Antara Dua Darjat.[6][7] It was performed as a "digital duet" where the KRU brothers sang along with archived Ramlee's recorded vocals.[8][9] P. Ramlee had died in 1973. The rendition of "Getaran Jiwa" have earned KRU a recognition from The Malaysia Book of Records as the first Malaysian artist to have a digital duet with a deceased musician.[10] However, KRU faced criticism over their collaboration with P. Ramlee for that song,[11][12] while Malaysian public broadcaster, Radio Televisyen Malaysia (RTM) banned the song, citing religious concerns.[13]
