POPULAR singer-actress Kaka Azraff is teaming up for the first time with singer-actor Daniesh Suffian in a duet titled 'Karya'.
The song is being used as the theme song for tonton's original drama series 'Kuih Muah', and has been well-received by music lovers.
Written and composed by Omar K and Dari, 'Karya' is about the innermost feelings of a person who is lovestruck and wants to share his or her feelings with the whole world.
'Karya' marks Kaka's first collaboration with Alternate Records and she has always been a fan of romantic pop songs.
"This is my first romantic song, and I'm most honoured to team up with Daniesh who is a talented new singer," said Kaka in a statement.
"Recording this song earlier this year was a breeze, and I hope music lovers will give 'Karya' their strongest support."
Daniesh, who is also a composer and lyricist, said he, too, was honoured to record a duet with Kaka.
"Both of us are on the same wave-length as we love singing as well as acting.
"What I like about Kaka is her soulful voice and optimistic personality. It was an amazing experience working together with her, and we would love to record more songs together in future," he said.
Daniesh described 'Karya' as a "heartfelt" song which all Malaysians could identify with.
"It's a song about falling deeply in love and pouring one's heart out about it. It's a very honest song, that's why I love it."
Kaka, 34, began her singing and acting career in 2012 when she recorded the whimsical duet 'Bawaku Pergi' with comedian and action hero Zizan Razak.
