PHNOM PENH, 6th May 2012 (Cambodia Herald) - California-based Cambodian singer Laura Mam and her all-girl band The Like Me’s are planning to launch their first music video on Cambodian television.

Their song, "Pka Proheam Rik Popreay", will be broadcast by CTN, MYTV and CTN International and will also be available as a ringtone and call tune through Cellcard. It has already been viewed hundreds of thousands of times on the internet.

"Our song has been warmly welcomed by ordinary Cambodians on the internet and when we performed directly in Cambodia last year," Laura Mam said. "We're now delighted to be able to officially promote our song to our Cambodian fans."

She says The Like Me’s plan to release nine songs this year, three covers of old classics and six original songs. English versions of seven songs will also be broadcast in Cambodia.

"We think Cambodians need a sound, that is, the original sound. And we want to become that sound. That's why we intend to write and create as many of our own songs as possible."

After "Pka Proheam Rik Popreay," the band expects to release another music video of a song called "Sva Rom Monkiss" which has been viewed 100,000 times on the band’s website.

Apart from Laura Mam, the Like Me’s comprises Cambodian-American Helena Hong and Filipina-Americans Monique Coquilla and Loren Alonzo.
