Maliq & D'Essentials Presents Twilight Teduh Pelita Unplugged Version, The More Syahdu

JAKARTA - Maliq & D'Essentials has had a brilliant year in 2024. Apart from winning various awards, their latest album, Can Machine's Fall in Love? also succeeded in attracting public attention.

Before leaving for the last city of the CMFIL tour? Kuala Lumpur at the end of December, MALIQ is back with the latest musical works to be grateful for all the achievements they have achieved this year through the release of the single Senja Teduh Pelita - Unplugged.

Unplugged version of Senja Teduh Pelita brought back memory when Angga et al appeared at the Coldplay Music of the Spheres World Tour 2023 concert at Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium, Central Jakarta. Where since this single was circulated in March 2011, it has reached 74 million listeners on music streaming services.

According to Widi Puradiredja, the opportunity to appear at Coldplay concerts is something big for their band and music label, Warner Music Indonesia.

"Want to remember that moment and previously the plan to release coincided with 1 year of concert on November 15, 2024. At that time MALIQ appeared unplugged on Coldplay, there were no drums, very minimalist. We finally re-recorded in the studio," said Widi in a written broadcast received by VOI, December 12.

Widi also revealed that the selection of the unplugged concept for this release became a tribute in itself. In the 90s to 2000s, the beginning of the unplugged concept was unique and refreshing.

Named unplugged because in the era of the children of MALIQ, unplugged is one of the exciting concepts. Now we are more familiar with the acoustic version. In the era of MTV, unplugged was one of the coolest shows. So, we are nostalgic for that moment and there is the discourse of MALIQ making unplugged another song. We 'll see what happens next,' the lid.

Re-released the single in the unplugged version, it originally came from the label. Triari Senawirawan as Managing Director of Warner Music Indonesia was quite enthusiastic about this.

"We released Senja Teduh Pelita this unplugged version so that all MALIQ & D Essentials fans can always remember a special moment in 2023. Where MAD performed at a world musician concert at the GBK Jakarta Stadium, making it an eternal moment. This unplugged version also gives a different touch from the song that is already well known and can introduce MAD to new fans in Indonesia," said Triari.
