Danilla And The Indies Starting In 2025 With A Cover Song If From Ari Lasso Ft. Melly Goeslaw

JAKARTA - Danilla Riyadi started in 2025 by launching his collaboration with the Indies on the cover of the song 'If', which was first performed by Ari Lasso ft. Melly Goeslaw.

Through an upload on his Instagram account, Danilla said that launching the cover of this song was a gift on the first day of 2025.

The first 2025 prize from Danilla and the Indies, sing again the iconic song 'If' from Melly Goeslaw @ari_laso. Thank you Teh Melly and Mas Ari," wrote Danilla in the caption of the upload, Wednesday, January 1.

At the same time, Danilla also wishes her followers a happy new year.

"Happy New Year everyone, happy listening; happy If in the style of Danilla and the Indies," he continued.

The update was presented by Danilla and the Indies in collaboration with Lafa Pratomo as producers. In the latest version, digital voices are far more prominent than the original version.

What stands out so prominent in the latest version is the way the Indies brings each part in a different style.

In the first verse, the East Indies tends to sing with a lower pitch range, as does the first chorus. But afterwards, he tried to be at a higher reach, by trying some technique and improvising it.

Different from the Indies, Danilla actually sang very stable from start to end of the song.

The contrast they present, especially in the chorus, is so different from the original version presented by Ari Lasso and Melly Goeslaw.

In addition to the original version, it feels more natural when heard, because of the more analogous sound of the music, Ari Lasso tends to sing with the same range of tone as Melly Goeslaw.

For information, 'If' written by Melly Goeslaw is one of the main singles on the album 'Sendiri Dulu' (2001), Ari Lasso's first album as a soloist, after leaving Dewa 19.
