Saturday night at Jio Space felt electric from the moment we stepped in. The energy, the crowd, and most importantly, Aisha Retno herself turned the space into something unforgettable. At only 25, Aisha gave us a taste of what the future of Malaysian music looks like, and we were lucky enough to be right there with her.
From the opening Overture Intro to the final echoes of Tak Adil, every moment felt bigger than just a performance. Aisha’s voice filled the hall with raw power and emotion, while her stage presence kept us hooked song after song. With a setlist of more than 20 tracks, she gave us a journey that mixed originals, covers and collaborations, all tied together by her signature style.
We cheered, we sang along, and we were blown away by the range of vibes she brought. Samudera had us in our feelings, while Sheesh and Fallin’ lifted the energy sky high. When she teamed up with SYA for Nails Done, the crowd went wild. You could see people smiling, clapping, and nodding to each other like, “This is it. This is the moment.”
And it wasn’t just Aisha. Her band, dancers and creative crew matched her energy, showing off how much young Malaysian talent can shine when given the stage. Special collaborations with Aizat Amdan (Menunggu Senja), Megat Fazly (Titik Temu), Lucidrari (Dengari Aku) and even Liza Hanim (for a stunning Wicked duet) added extra magic to the night.
What stood out the most was the theme of resilience that carried through the show. Whether it was through powerful ballads like Diari Air Mata or fiery pop numbers like WHUT and Orbit, Aisha told her story of bouncing back stronger and braver. It felt deeply personal, but also something we could all connect to, the struggles, the growth, and the triumphs.
LOL Asia CEO Rizal Kamal put it best when he said, “Aisha Retno is undeniably one of Malaysia’s brightest stars. Her journey is a testament to the vibrant future of Malaysian music.”
As the lights dimmed and the last notes of Tak Adil faded away, we left Jio Space knowing we had witnessed more than a concert. We had witnessed a milestone. Aisha is not waiting for her moment, she is already creating it. And we, the SYOK team, could not be prouder to be part of that night.
The Aisha Experience was presented by LOL Asia.
