La Luna Comeback After A Decade By Retroducing The Three Best Songs

JAKARTA - La Luna returns from her long sleep. Band from Bandung which is fronted by Manik (vocals), Uti (guitar), and Boyan (drums) greet Indonesian music lovers by reintroducing three mainstay singles, After You Go, Delection of Old Story, and Lara Hati.

The three songs were chosen to celebrate La Luna's comeback after a decade of vacuum. Not without reason, the three of them are the best songs that make Manik cs still known today.

Meanwhile, this comeback started during the pandemic. When the personnel communicated via live Instagram, the enthusiasm of fans was still felt, they still missed and appreciated La Luna's songs.

"The initial moment was actually during the pandemic, we had time to communicate live IG. There was a longing to make music again, but it's still a discourse and hasn't happened yet," Boyan said in his statement, Thursday, February 20.

"In 2023, it seems that the first point we play is back, when we are invited to perform at one of the big festivals in Bandung with big bands with the theme Bandung Heroes. And the interest is extraordinary, the audience still appreciates La Luna's songs, which have been on hiatus for eight years," continued the drummer.

The comeback intention was welcomed by La Lula's return in collaboration with Indo Semar Records, their first label when they debuted in the music industry in 2000.

Not only presenting a different version of the three songs, La Luna also worked on a new music video for the songs. Packed with contemporary and different nuances from before, the three music videos are still based on the stories of each song, but are used as trilogy stories that organize each other.

"Hopefully, the remake of these three songs can be accepted and appreciated, not only by old listeners but extending to Gen Z listeners, and of course La Luna's name can shine again in Indonesian music through the BBC's best new works," said Boyan.

The following is an explanation from the trilogy of La Luna's latest music video:Babak 1 : The exclusion of Old Story In the remake of the song The exclusion of Old Story is told by a couple who are on vacation to their favorite place. But at this moment, the incident did not happen, where the man was caught cheating. The affair was discovered by the woman, because she heard all the telephone conversations between the man and her affair. Knowing this, without further ado, the woman left behind her lover who had betrayed her.

Round 2: 'After You Left Three months after the affair was revealed, apparently the woman still remembers her previous love story. The longing struck when she recalled her moment of togetherness with her ex. To treat her longing, she returned to their favorite place first, alone, and painted all their habits there. Out of fatigue, the woman fell asleep and dreamed that her ex returned to her arms. When she woke up, the dream came true and they came back together.

Round 3: Lara Hati Still with the same background, returning together does not mean a happy ending for both of them. The reason is, at this moment karma applies to the man. This time, he was the woman's mistress. During the three months apart, apparently the woman had found a replacement. At the end of the story, the woman still left, but this time she left with her new lover.
