KUALA LUMPUR: Former singer Noor Liza Abu Bakar, better known as Leez, 55, was surprised to discover her 1989 hit ‘EL’ has recently gone viral on TikTok’s For You Page.
Harian Metro reported today that the 55-year-old said she had recently been inundated with WhatsApp messages and social media friend requests, despite having left the limelight many years ago.
Leez went on to release a second album, ‘Jendela’, in 1990 (produced by Usop of Kopratasa and Eric Yeoh) and recorded a third for BMG that was never issued.
After marrying composer-producer Razman, she stepped away from music to raise two daughters, now 29 and 25.
She currently runs a catering and nasi lemak business.
Though invited twice to join the TV comeback show ‘Gegar Vaganza’, she declined.
“I’m afraid that the glamour would give me a headache as my 15 minutes of fame have passed,” she said. However, she doesn’t rule out a future single, saying, “We may plan, but God decides.”
Meanwhile, netizens have been debating the identity of the singer of “EL”, with some mistaking her for Leez Rosli (an Akademi Fantasia 4 alumna), while others even believed the singer had already passed away.
