JAKARTA - Dewa 19 seems to still want to be relevant to the present. This is evident from their latest release with Marcello Tahitoe, or Ello.

Dewa 19 appointed Ello as the vocalist in a new single titled 'Laki-Kaki Bukan Berhitung'. In terms of music and lyrics, Dhani brought this song to a more enjoyable direction.

Ahmad Dhani, who acts as a songwriter, also sang on the track this time. He had a duet with Ello who had more rock characters.

One thing that is in the spotlight is the musician's style in writing lyrics. The language used sounds very casual and literical, without many poetic words.

If you like a girl, just say

Ask what his name Is Where his house Is. How many phone numbers

That's an excerpt from the lyrics of 'Titleman' which became Dewa 19's collaboration with Ello. A number of netters were quite surprised to hear the lyrics of this song, but many also saw it positively.

"Udh poetic lyrics, sufistic lyrics, gahar lyrics, already heavy lyrics, it's been a time for light lyrics, it's okay for a god who doesn't need to prove anything else," said one fan on Dewa 19 YouTube.

Since returning to being productive in making new works, Dewa 19 has released three singles. Comeback is marked by 'Juliette' (feat. Ello), 'Last Bird' (feat. Ari Lasso) and 'Leak-Leak Bukan Berhitung' again with Ello.

Furthermore, fans hope that Dhani cs will compose a new song in the drama Virzha. As is known, currently Dewa 19 relies on two vocalists in every concert and show, namely Ello and Virzha. Will it happen?
