Ade Hubart Realizes Dream Collaboration, Working On Single Puingga Love With Ian Antono

JAKARTA - No one knows exactly how fate will accompany the journey of life. As an admirer of God Bless' works, Ade Hubart is happy not to be able to work on a new song with the guitarist, Ian Antono.

Titled Pujangga Cinta, this work is a new chapter for Ade. Playing music from a young age, collaborating with Indonesian rock maestro is an honor.

One of the most monumental moments on his journey as a music connoisseur was when he witnessed God Bless' performance at Drive-In Ancol in 1988. The concert became an experience that had an impression on his memory and further confirmed his love for rock music, especially for the figure of Ian Antono, who he considered a role model in music. From there, the dream of being able to work and one day working with his idol began to grow.

Despite his career as an entrepreneur, Ade never left his passion for music. He often appears in cafes, channeling his musical passions although not smooth. However, that belief multiplied after he received a positive answer from Ian Antono.

The God Bless guitarist is known as a cold-handed producer. Through his touch, various phenomenal works were born with legendary Indonesian musicians such as Nicky Astria, Iwan Fals, Ikang Fawzi, Anggun C. Sasmi, Franky Sahilatua, to Ebiet G. Ade. In this project, Ian still shows his totality by working on it as well as possible, as in previous major projects.

In its cultivation, Ian Antono also involved well-known musicians who had worked with him for a long time, such as Harry Anggoman on the keyboard. To ensure the best quality, the mixing and mastering process was entrusted to Stephan Santoso, one of Indonesia's top sound engineers.

Involving important figures in the industry, Ade Hubart admitted that this project is not about pursuing popularity or commercial benefits.

"For me, this is more about personal achievement after a long wait. Being able to enter the recording studio and working with great musicians has become a matter of pride," he said. "However, of course it would be more satisfying if it turned out that this work received a good response from the Indonesian music community."

The song Pujangga Cinta presents a romantic feel with deep lyrics, reflecting the musical character Ade Hubart. Official Video "Pujangga Cinta" is available on the YouTuba Ade Hubart Official channel and audio can be enjoyed on various digital platforms starting June 3.
