Tohpati Gaet Meiska for the New Version of the Song I Want to Have
JAKARTA - Ruth Sahanaya has popularized the song "Ingin Kumiliki" which seems to be the national anthem of the hearts that were upset in the 90s. Now, 27 years later, in 2026, we can listen to the remake version arranged by Tohpati with Meiska.
Meiska fills the vocal part with her soft voice. Ingin Kumiliki itself will be a song from the Tohpati album project that is being prepared.
This latest collaboration features a strong emotional side, wrapped in a more modern and fresh musical arrangement. Ingin Kumiliki is a new interpretation of Tohpati's work, which has been widely known since the 90s. In this version, the song is presented with a fresher approach without losing its original essence.
"The song should not stop in its time. It must be passed on to new listeners and singers," said Tohpati in a written statement.
Meanwhile, for Meiska, this song has its own emotional closeness because it has been familiar in his ears for a long time. However, he also admitted that there were challenges in bringing a song that has a special place in the hearts of many listeners.
"I really like this song because the tone is familiar. But there is still pressure because this song has a special place in many people," said Meiska.
Tohpati also acted as a producer, where the process gave an unforgettable experience. The two who had previously worked together again built chemistry that made the recording process more comfortable.
Through 'Ingin Kumiliki', Meiska hopes that this song can be accepted by listeners across generations and become a relevant work for music lovers today. After this, the musician born on July 25, 1971 has prepared several other releases as part of his album project.
