JAKARTA - The name Societeit de Harmonie is indeed better known on TikTok social media. Together with Natasya Elvira, the group consisting of Dave Rimba (drums), Bayu Rusady (kontrabas), Andy Gomez (piano), and Hairul Umam (saksofon) often rearranges famous songs with jazz rhythms, Ragtime, and bossanova.

However, the Societeit de Harmonie, which is commonly seen on TikTok, has now taken a step forward. Still with the nominations for the AMI Awards for the Best Jazz Artist category last year, Natasya Elvira, they launched an original song titled Nine which became their debut single.

Societeit de Harmonie chose a way that musicians rarely do today, they recorded Nine by live recording - single take without cut.

Nine is also Natasya Elvira's debut as a producer. The So Lucky to be Young' singer reduces the jazz element in this song so that wider listeners can enjoy it.

Natasya likens the jazz element in the song Sembilan as a spicy chili sauce, a very thick contrast when compared to his very thick solo works of jazz elements.

Meanwhile, Nine was written by Pradana Setya Kusuma, with Andy Gomez acting as a music director. The inspiration behind this song reflects the essence of fortitude and growth amidst uncertainty of change. Societeit de Harmonie wants to show the spirit to embrace separations with graceful smiles. This song is a reminder of existential inequality and wisdom obtained from every phase of life's journey.

Nine is presented to celebrate the moment of separation with a positive spirit and hope. As every trip has a number, and after number nine will return to zero, this song is an invitation to remain optimistic in responding to each separation as a start to something new.
