Madah Berhelah is the debut studio album by Malaysian singer Ziana Zain. It was released on Disember 16, 1991, by BMG Pacific.[1] It features a mix of pop songs and ballads influenced by 1980s soft rock. The album was produced by Rahim Othman. Upon its release, Madah Berhelah received generally positive reviews from music critics, who complimented Ziana's voice and technique, as well as the album's content.[citation needed]
The title track and lead single was both a critical and commercial success. It was considered to be Ziana's signature song and helped establish her career. The single was a finalist in 1992's Anugerah Juara Lagu in the "Creative Pop" category. However, the song lost to Nash's "Pada Syurga Di Wajahmu". The followup single was "Riwayat Cinta".[citation needed]
