Perspective
After the release of 10 di Skala Richter in 2006, KRU decided to take a break from release any studio albums. During that period, they came up with more compilation albums. Five years later, they decided to return to studio and began recording new material for their forthcoming album.[1][2]
The recording and production for KRUnomena began in 2011 and took two years to completed.[3][4][5] The album's title is a portmanteau of KRU and 'fenomena' (lit. 'phenomenon'). According to KRU, the album was very special for them as it reflects maturity in their music and lyrics.[2] Like KRUnisme and 10 di Skala Richter, Edry serves as the album's producer and composed nine out of 10 songs.[2] "Tiga Kata", one of the songs in the album, had KRU included the phrase 'I Love You' in Chinese, Tamil, Korean and Japanese, while "Wanita" was specially dedicated to their mother, Zarina Abdul Wahab Fenner.[6] "Kali Ke-2", the album's last track, is a remake of "2" from their 1995 soundtrack album, Awas! da Soundtrack.[2]
KRUnomena would be KRU's first studio album produced by their own record label, KRU Music after having released 12 studio albums with EMI. United Studios, a company set up by KRU, handling the distribution for the album.[7] It is also become their only album to included entirely songs in Malay and not included any English tracks. This was also KRU's last album before they disbanded in 2018 and before they reunited for the first time for Kaset (2025).[8][9]
