JAKARTA - Musicians Isyana Sarasvati, Bilal Indrajaya, and the Indies collaborated to bring a song titled Alunan Temu. This song specifically describes the pounding feeling of waiting for a meeting after holding back longing for a long time.

In a press conference held in Jakarta, Thursday, it was explained that this song was created specifically for the holy month of Ramadan which was considered the right moment to return to live in touch with family or colleagues directly after in the last two years everyone had celebrated Ramadan in a limited way without meet lots of people.

The strains of Temu itself were composed by Iga Massardi, Bilal Indrajaya, Vega Antares, and Enrico Octaviano with a touch adapted to accommodate the three singers.

"This song wants to show inner relief, at this moment of Ramadan we can meet people we love now without fear anymore like before. This is to capture all the emotion and happiness with a touching tone. It's emotional but fun," said Iga Massardi tells the story of making the song Alunan Temu.

Interestingly, Bilal, who was also involved behind the scenes to perfect Alunan Temu, said that there was a heartbeat as an instrument that was included in the song.

Bilal tells the reason why the sound of a heartbeat is included in this song to describe an intense feeling when an event has reached its peak, just like when someone is pounding to meet another person after a long time of holding back.

"We mean this heartbeat as a signal that describes excitement and a pounding feeling, we try to include this in the song," said Bilal, quoted from ANTARA, Friday, April 1.

When listened to, this song sounds warm with soft strains, the voices of the three are connected to each other and manage to describe the meaning of emotion but happiness meant by Iga.
