Pusakata and Haddad Alwi Collaboration Present a Reflection on Infinite Grace in the Single Menghitung

JAKARTA - The Indonesian music industry is back with a new collaboration that offers spiritual depth through the release of the latest single titled "Menghitung".

The collaboration between Mohammad Istiqamah Djamad, who is more familiarly known as Pusakata, with the legendary religious singer Haddad Alwi is not just a meeting of two musicians, but a reflective dialogue about the limitations of humans in measuring God's love.

This song comes with an intimate acoustic arrangement, highlighting the power of the poetic narrative that has always been the hallmark of Pusakata, combined with the sense of spiritual peace inherent in the figure of Haddad Alwi.

Through the song "Menghitung", Pusakata and Haddad want to convey the message that in life, humans are often trapped in material measurements, to the point of forgetting that there are things that can never be quantified.

The lyrics describe that love, forgiveness, and God's grace are elements that are infinite and beyond the logic of human calculation. This message feels very relevant in the midst of the hustle and bustle of modern life which often demands everything to be measured statistically.

The musical arrangement is kept simple but emotional, giving listeners space to enter into deep personal contemplation.

Pusakata emphasized that this project is an effort to bring peace to anyone who hears it, especially those who are looking for a foothold in the midst of life's uncertainties.

"'Counting' comes as a reminder that not everything in life can be measured by numbers. Love, peace, forgiveness, and God's love are things that cannot be counted, but are always present in every step of our lives," said Pusakata in his statement, Wednesday, April 15.

In line with this, the presence of Haddad Alwi provides a spiritual color that strengthens the harmony of the song, creating a work that is not only pleasant to listen to musically, but also touches the inner side of listeners from various backgrounds of beliefs.

The main strength of this single lies in the way the two musicians weave a story into a calm composition. Haddad Alwi, who has long been known for his touching religious works, gives a new dimension to Pusakata's musical style, which tends to be folk-alternative. This synergy also produces a spiritual work that feels universal and inclusive.
