You and me Were desperately in love We're holding grudge Instead of hands and trusts There's no longer "Us" It's only "You" or else Well I've swallowed too many jars of lies Baby, will you step back? And stand behind me At once You and me Were chasing butterflies We faked our love With patterned laughs and lusts Well this has got to stop now Let's take our separate paths Because my love for you Were never existed Baby, will you step back? Oh Please just step back! You'll burn! I said "please" Baby, please just step back But you keep coming back Oh just get off my back You'll burn! You'll burn!

It feels like December The birds flew across my bedroom window And the spiral staircase That we used to hang around 'til 3 in the afternoon I remember that day The purple hoodie that you're wearing And the smile up on your face Your hair was flowing in the air As you were sitting by my side You moved me with your tides You're so fine And I wouldn't do anything To deny you And I would die for You.. Oh baby don't despair You're not alone I'm always there I wish I was the one who's scared Of the sickness that you bear For as long as I could stay I'll be happy just to see you smile for another day But you're gone now Oh so far gone now Where the trees are green and cloudy grounds it seems But my time will come Oh so let it come Where we'll meet again Until the end of time

I parked the car, Under the rooftop, Next to the Jaguar, As I stepped out, I picked up the groceries, I grabbed the house keys, I was all alone.. I saw Walters running He’s barking and jumping I pat him on my way in I put Sinatra’s record on As I took one last look At all the decos in the room The house was clean,, oh so clean, I love the smell of a Sunday Morning, I do, It’s so refreshing, It makes you just wanna dance, Along the white fences, With no one to glance, oh.. Oohh…

about

In Hilang, music enthusiasts explain Guba’s “honest vocals” are “blended with melodies that are enchantingly evergreen”. A “soulful” album, which makes it “a great listen even in a couple of years time to come”.

This 10-track album includes his previously released singles including the popular duet ‘You’re So Fine’ featuring Yuna and ‘You & Me’, both of which had garnered significant airplay in the local radio earning Guba the number one spot in the Hitz.FM Kota Kinabalu Borneo English Top Ten (BET 10), Hitz.FM Malaysian Top Ten (MET 10) and XFM Malaysian Top 40.

Sabahan born, Gabriel Robert, better known as Guba, signed up with indie label Laguna Music in 2011. Growing up in Sabah, Guba comfortably writes his songs in Malay as well as English, and describes his music as alternative-folk. He has wowed many with the soothing sounds from his guitar partnered with his clear, relaxing voice that cuts through to each listener, giving his songs “heartfelt emotions that creates a wonderful musical journey that is pleasant to the ears in so many occasions.” All songs on the ‘Hilang’ album were written and composed by Guba himself, a testament to his remarkable musical talent.

The production of the album involved 6 different recording engineers and 3 different recording studios. Head Producer, Jeffrey Little (Prana, Estrella, SevenCollar T-Shirt, PureVibracion), teamed up with co-producers Saiful Ridzuan (SevenCollar T-Shirt, Estrella) and Jason Voo, and together with an esteemed team of musicians, completed the album over a 1-year period. The mixing of the album was by Mohd Hafiz (Pesawat, Lab The Rat) at Tune Studios, and the Mastering of the album by Joe Gastwirt (311, Pearl Jam, Grateful Dead) in Los Angeles.

ALBUM REVIEWS

“I have to go straight in and say that Guba’s debut album Hilang is absolutely amazing. This Sabahan’s honest vocals blended with melodies that are enchantingly evergreen will make this album a great listen even in a couple of years time to come. Guba makes classic music and doesn’t ride with the trend wave. It’s that heartfelt emotions in his songs that creates a wonderful musical journey that is pleasant to the ears in so many occasions. He managed to excel in both English and Malay tracks, as well as having beautiful lyrical skills that is so rare these days. You can’t help but to think wow, this should go international! Hilang will transform your listening pleasure into serenity like no other. Guba is a brilliant addition to the music scene that makes Hilang one of the best and honest albums I have heard this year”
– Kevin Yeoh, Music Journalist.

“This album is rather beautifully produced and Guba himself is a breath of fresh air in the local singer-songwriter world…The first time I saw photos of Guba I thought this kid should be singing for an emo/metal band or something but instead he sounds like Rufus Wainwright and it's rather funny but a few shades of awesome as well. This album is soulful and I really like his duets with both girls, they're both perfect matches…”
– Ili FM, Music Observer.
