First, I'd like to say thank our lovely uploader yeyen for the tips.

It looks like, Michael Bolton will release the 2nd version of his "GEMS:THE DUETS COLLECTION" on all around Asia (including Indonesia). Michael Bolton's duet with Agnes Monica "Said I Love You But I Lied" can be heard by people all around Asia. Here's the Japanese Version of the album which also contains Agnes Monica. At first, I don't recognize Agnes Monica's name on the list. But after the use of google translator, you will see Agnes Monica's name on the track 14.

Everyone, let's learn that Agnes Monica's name is " アグネス・モニカ" in Japanese. Sure, the price for the Japanese version is more expensive than Indonesian version. But, I personally will but this album since it's unique to see Agnes's name written on different languange.

PS : Agnes Monica albums are also sold in HMV Japan. Just go to the website and type Agnes Monica's Japanese name and you will see that they provide all Agnes Monica's albums :). And this album is also can be purchased in Yesasia.com

Finally, we are able to hear one of Michael Bolton's legendary hits "Said I Love you But I Lied" (this time) also features Agnes Monica. This song is composed by Michael Bolton and Robert John Lange or known as "Mutt" Lange, 2 big names in 1 song. Personally, the song is my personal favorite from Michael Bolton along with "Go The Distance". And, yesterday this song is officially released in Indonesia (and some tweet also said about Philippine Radio played this song).

This song will be featured in Michael Bolton "Duets" Album which going to be released by Sony Music Indonesia sometime around September. So, I'm asking you guys to support the song by putting requests on your local radio and buy the original CD when it's released.

PS : For now, I will give you guys link to hear the song. It's not uploaded by me and it's nor "perfect" version. Credit to the uploader (allkirmany)

Yesterday is surely a good day (at least for me). In the morning we got positive news about Timbaland's work together with Agnes Monica then at night Agnes won big in AMI AWARDS 2011. I believe this year winning is more meaningful compared to the previous winning in AMI AWARDS. "Karena Ku Sanggup"is written by Agnes Monica herself based on her life experience. Isn't it amazing that she can make her experience to be a powerful song like "Karena Ku Sanggup"?

Since, (obviously) Agnes Monica is still in the US and couldn't attend the award ceremony, a representative from Aquarius Musikindo (I believe the man called Pak Iin) got up on the stage to take the awards on behalf of Agnes Monica. These are the following awards that Agnes Monica won :

1. Artis Solo Wanita Terbaik (Best Solo Female Artist).
2. Karya Produksi Terbaik (Best Music Production) with Andi Rianto.
3. Peramu Rekam Terbaik (Best Sound Engineer) - Tommy Utomo (@tukangson)

Congratulation to Agnes Monica, Andi Rianto and Tommy Utomo. We sincerely hope that all of you will make more and more amazing project in the future. DREAM, BELIEVE and MAKE IT HAPPEN.
