After hiatus for 3 years, April 2014 see the band emerge in front of public with a new approach of music. They show maturity in music.
“We’ve been in music industry for a decade. The way we approach music is evolving. Life has gone up and down. It’s the music who brings us back to the spirit of life. We create music which can be enjoyed by everybody,” says Tantra, the oldest and the only female member among the band.
They’re carrying on a new single entitled “Hidup Itu Indah” (Life Is Beautiful), a pop- folk song with nuance of acoustic music, combined perfectly with set of beautiful string section. Its lyric conveys positive aspect of life, about how to be thankful to life. About wiping tears and hold on hope. About optimism which can enhance life energy.
Sit back and relax, have a cup of coffee or tea, while listening to the song. And you’ll find that ‘life is beautiful.’
