Nabila Razali

For most Akademi Fantasia alumni, it’s hard to separate themselves from the “AF” epithet post-competition. Former architect Nabila Razali didn’t win the show, but she’s done the harder work—no one calls her Nabila AF anymore. It helps that she’s also an actress who’s done many telenovelas. This penchant for melodrama carries over in her music too. Hael Husaini-aided hits “Pematah Hati” and “Vroom Vroom” update the scorned woman trope for the smartphone gen with a pop canniness that recognises their love for portmanteau and onomatopoeia. The numbers agree: Nabila is viral AF.
