Sarah Syazlina, Singaporean Singer Who Seeks Her Luck In Indonesia With A Song 'Benar-Benar Lupa'

Sarah Syazlina

JAKARTA - The name Sarah Syazlina still sounds foreign to Indonesians. The 15-year-old singer is from Singapore. Departing from various singing competitions such as the Asian Student Art Festival in Hong Kong, We Sing Pop American Protege in New York-America, Kids Got Talent in Malaysia, Champion Mic Junior, and SUARA 2.0 WGS in Singapore, Sarah released her first song in Singapore.

For the second song, this Pop genre song created by Ilham Baso tells the story of having a wrong relationship.

“This song is actually the second song Sarah has ever released. But this is Sarah's first song in Indonesian. Sarah was given the opportunity by her songwriter, Ilham Baso to sing this song. Of course, Sarah is very happy to be trusted to be able to perform this song”, Sarah said as in the release received by VOI Editor.

For Sarah, singing this song is a challenge in itself, especially since this song is in Indonesian. With the slick musical arrangements of Ilham Baso and Michael Rangkoratat, Sarah is able to display her strong vocal character in this song.

"In the beginning, it was a bit hard to sing this song because it requires a strong and precise appreciation to get to the hearts of the listeners. Sarah trained herself quite a lot to be able to perform this song well”, said Sarah.

Sarah said that the obstacles in the process of this song were only limited to distance. Because the processing and discussion are done remotely. The recording process was carried out by Sarah in Singapore and the mixing and mastering process of this song was done in Indonesia. But it didn't matter, because Sarah was satisfied with the result.

"Why I decided to release a song in Indonesia? Because besides the songwriter, this song is from Indonesia. Because Sarah is also eager to enter the listener market in Indonesia. Sarah wants to be able to have a wider audience reach. Hopefully, this song can be accepted by music lovers in Indonesia", said Sarah Syazlina.

Benar-Benar Lupa Lyrics

Ku terjebak di antara

cinta yang tak seharusnya aku jalani

Ku menyadari kita mulai dengan salah

Kita berbeda kau pasti tahu

Ini ujungnya luka

Inikah sebuah rasa yang kan berakhir masalah

Ku harus melupakanmu

Dan melepaskan mu

Cinta memang tak salah

Yang salah hubungan kita

tak mau pura pura lupa

yang ku mau benar-benar lupa
