JAKARTA - Maliq & D Essentials responded to the large number of netizens' criticisms of the song "Oah and We Make it romantic that has gone viral and has been played on TikTok a lot. They think that the musical style carried by Maliq & D Essentials has changed, and some pros and cons have emerged.

However, the personnel did not agree with the netizens who were against it. Angga Puradiredja actually enjoyed their work which was going viral on social media.

"Yes, there will definitely be (contrasts). Just sorry guys, we are enjoying our moment. We are really grateful because we can't deny that in the past few years there must have been turmoil, until finally there was a point like today, where everything flowed again. That's really illustrated by his works," said Angga Puradiredja, launching the YouTube channel MALIQ & D Essentials, Monday, March 25.

"Yes, that's right, what was said to be the era of Sriwedari, Pop Music, that was a moment too at that time, which we brought until the end. Only we got another new moment, we dare to explore, we are not afraid of people saying anything," he continued.

Dendy Sukarno alias Java, actually saw the contra that appeared as a success in itself. He saw that the two songs were successfully attached to the minds of the citizens who were cons.

"I don't have to respond, I have to be grateful. Because once you give birth to works and works produce pros and cons, the work is successful according to me. Because it's impossible for you to counter something if it's not attached to you," said Java.

Other Maliq personnel, Widi and Lale, don't look at the lyrics fromara and we make it romantic like what other netizens say is counter. Both actually feel that the lyrics of the two songs are still similar to the style of writing lyrics in other songs.

"When we make the lyrics, we don't have the slightest worry about this fringe. We say that, the children are happy, I'm happy, that's it. The lyrics We make romantic, oh, whatever we want, that's what (medical thinking) was in the studio at that time. So, there is no 'commercial' consideration, "said Widi Puradiredja.

"I don't feel that way, I mean I don't feel like Maliq is a fringe or something, because the writing style of the lyrics, according to me, is still Maliq, the music is still Maliq," said Arya Aditya alias Lale.

Furthermore, Maliq felt pros and cons of listeners for their works were commonplace. What happened this time also happened when the album Sriwedari (2013), Music Pop (2014), and other albums were released.

"This is something that usually happens in Maliq. We also release Sriwedari's album, Pop Music is like that. It's okay, we're just having fun with the situation. Let's listen, we don't want to listen, it's okay. Yes, we're not being chased, we really want to just give you a hearing about Maliq's mood on this album, it's like this, it's happy, it's still romantic," concluded Ilman Ibrahim.
