JAKARTA - Singer and songwriter Mario G Klau returns with a different work from the previous release. His collaboration with Mone Band gave birth to a new single titled the Old Player.

Mone Band is not new to those who already know Mario G Klau. This band is known as a soloist accompaniment from Maumere when appearing on stage.

The collaboration between Mario G Klau and Mone Band, which is supported by EDETIMUR, is intended for something different. They call it a music project that combines idealistic and commercial sides.

So far, people have seen Mario as a solo singer, even though they always have a gig, Mone Band. And this time they are with Mario on one project together," said Mario G Klau during a press conference in Kemang, South Jakarta, Monday, March 25.

The results of the Mario G Klau and MONEY band collaborations in the Old Players themselves show many surprises, ranging from complicated syncping to dangdut and rap rhythms that suddenly appear in the middle of the song.

"In this song, why is there dangdut. Because Mario has always been a pop ballad and upset, so he wants something to be different. If it's just an up beat, it seems normal, so there is a dangdut made to be different," said Mario.

The number of musical elements presented also shows the idealism of every musician involved in this song. Mario and Meno personnel have a wide musical taste and are all depicted in Old Players.

The many elements presented in the song have also become an attraction for themselves. EDETIMUR together with Mario and Mone present many hooks that can be used on social media.

Apart from the arrangement, the Old Player also carries a strong message in his lyrics. Mario showed maturity in his work by expressing his awareness of manipulation and play in a relationship.

For information, Old Players from Mario G Klau and Mone Band can now be enjoyed on various digital streaming platforms (DDP), and video music can be watched on YouTube.
