Malaysian singer-songwriter Yuna, who performs Sunday at the Great American Music Hall, has a deft pop touch. A professed lover of all things '90s - from the Spice Girls and the Cardigans to Fiona Apple and the Cranberries - her music has a warm, nostalgic buzz that is only enhanced by her sweet, helium-suffused voice. Back home, she runs her own clothing line and regularly collects industry awards. Her music could be too understated for American audiences, though. Most of her second album, "Nocturnal," floats effortlessly, but it takes big-name collaborators such as Robin Hannibal of Quadron and Rhye ("Falling"), and Chad Hugo of the Neptunes ("Someone Who Can") to draw out the showstopping moments.
