Empayar KRUjaan V2.0 is the tenth studio album by Malaysian boy band KRU, released on 26 October 2002 by EMI Music Malaysia. It is a reissue version of their ninth studio album KRUjaan, that combines new material with the remixed versions of all the original tracks and bonus materials.[1][2]

Production

[edit]

After the release of their ninth album, KRUjaan in May 2002, which they realized that it received lukewarm success, the KRU brothers decided to repackage the album with new composition.[3]

The album introduced four new tracks: "Perpisahan Terasing", which combines two classic songs, "Perpisahan" by The Revolvers and "Terasing" by Sudirman Arshad,[4] "Hidup Hidup Ditipu", which is a remake of Hidup Hidup Dibakar, originally performed by Malaysian rock band, Dr. Kronik, one of artists under KRU's record label, KRU Music Group, "Ampuniku" and "U Got Style".[5][6]

In addition, the album features an improved version of "Amaran KRUjaan" and the inclusion of "Monte Carlo Reprise", originally by performed by Phyne Ballerz, which was initially intended for the KRUjaan album.[5]
