DeVFias Brings Back Listeners With Kevin Aprilio's Song

DeVFias (Doc. Ist)

JAKARTA - A teenage singer duo named DeVFias has again enlivened the Indonesian music scene through the latest single, If only'. Membering Arvia Reihanna and Safia Malia Diansyah, this duo presents a sweet pop ballad composition.

The slick harmony between the arrangement and the lyrics of the song directed by the famous Indonesian musician Kevin Aprilio feels furious, light, easy listening and of course contemporary.

The song 'I wish' was created by Kevin, whose lyrics tell the story of someone who has lost in general. Can lose parents, friends, and also close friends.

This touching song lyrics is inspired by the true story of vocal duo Arvia and Safia. The two teenage girls who have been friends since this elementary school had separated for several years. This separation made them feel very lost.

Arvia and Safia seem to have been friends since studying in elementary school and they both studied vocals at the Purwacaraka music school. This friendship was separated apart because Arvia continued her studies in London, England.

Separated by distance and time for a long time, their friendship re-affirmed after Arvia returned to Indonesia. The two then seriously formed the vocal duo of DeVFias.

"This Andaikan song talks about loss, and this song is inspired by the true story of the two of us who have been separated for several years," Safia said in a written broadcast.

Worked on in three months, DeVFias felt the challenge was different than their previous song. Because, this song 'I wish' was not a recycle song like in their single which was released last 2023 entitled 'Isa Ini' which is a reinterpretation of the song of the same name, which was first popularized by pop band Vierratale.

Karena Andaikan ini lagu baru bukan seperti single kita sebelumnya yang recycle dari Vierratale. Jadi kita benar-benar workshop dari awal untuk mendapatkan feel lagunya, ucap Arvia.

The combination of Arvia and Safia's vocal quality, which has been forged since elementary school, collaborated with Kevin Aprilio's musical color, who is the frontman of the Vierratale band, provides a elegant and classy touch in the song Ifaikan. The chemistry of Arvia and Safia, who have been friends since elementary school, is felt in every lyrics they bring.

In the video clip, DeVFias describes the story of a person whose friend left him to study temporarily in another city. It is said that DeVFias, making a video clip for "If" is also a challenge in itself. With the theme of separation between friends, this video clip is worked on in a full day. The theme of the video clip is also adapted to the title of the song about the separation between friends. "We want this video clip to match the message of the song about separation and move on," explained DeVFias.
