JAKARTA - Long time no see, Ermy Kullit was again present with Cadazz Pustaka Musik by releasing a religious single titled Hikmah on March 27.
The song, which was composed by Liz Hadi, was sung and released in the All Artist version about 13 years ago.
"Hikmah is a religious song that tells the story of life that we must be grateful for because it is still being tried and tested. Because we know that Allah will not test his people beyond his ability," said Ermy Kullit in a written statement received by the editor.
"So we have to be grateful. And what's called life is up and down, we have to survive and be strong because it might be a test from Allah. And surely if we make it through it we will get a prize," he continued.
Liz Hadi added that the beginning of this song was based on her experience when she was tested by God.
"This song was created when I experienced a lively collision - tubi. I experienced it from the age of 10, when you died. Until now it has been extraordinary. Until I can sort out which test is from God and which is the result of our own actions. As long as we are honest and sensitive, then we will know the answer," explained Liz Hadi.
Fransiscus Eko representing Cadaaz Pustaka said he was very happy to be working with two senior musicians, namely Ermy Kullit and Liz Hadi.
"I am amazed by the enthusiasm of the two of them in their work and survive in the Indonesian music industry. No wonder they can become Indonesian music living legends," said Fransiscus Eko.
Unlike before, Ermy Kullit's version has a slightly faster tempo than the one sung by All Artist.
"Now it's made a solo, so the music is made a bit bossy. And a musician named Muhammad Ramly was chosen by Liz Hadi to broadcast his music, the main thing is different from the previous version of Hikmah. For mixing and mastering, Karisk, guitarist DeadSquad," said Ermy.
With the presence of this song, Ermy has the desire to appear on various stages to promote Wisdom.
"Yes, it is the same as the wishes of all singers who sing songs that have been released and recorded. Of course, they hope for shows. Because this song is not only religious, but also Muslim pop," he added.
"In addition, this is a type of general song that can be performed other than Eid al-Fitr or recitation time. Anyway, at all times, this song can be sung. For example, like the song God made by Bimbo," concluded Ermy Kullit.
