JAKARTA - Through the song 'We Make It Romantic' which had gone viral on social media, Maliq & D Essentials got quite a big profit.

Widi Puradiredja (drums) said that economic benefits had an impact on their career journey as a band.

"This is the first time for Maliq to go viral for 20 years. We want to maintain this impact," said Widi during a press conference in Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta, Wednesday, October 9.

The album tour that Maliq will live next week, said Widi, is also due to the viral 'We Make Romantic' on social media.

The song is also considered to prove to Indonesian music lovers that Maliq & D Essentials is able to penetrate other music genres, especially R&B and soul.

Meanwhile, Angga Puradiredja (vocals) said the viral We Make it Romantic makes Maliq & D Essentials even more confident. They feel even more widely known.

"In direct impact, I feel personally that there is more trust than Maliq, that our song is not segmented," said Angga.

"On the side of the road, we are also reprimanded by hawkers. That adds to our confidence," he said.

For information, 'We Make Romantic' is one of the songs in the mini album 'Can Machine Fall In Love?', which tour for the album will be held in the near future.

In the album tour later, Angga Puradiredja (vocals), Indah Wisnuwardhana (vocals), Lale (guitar), Ilman Ibrahim (keyboards), Java (bass), and Widi Puradiredja (drums) will visit their fans in Makassar, Bali, Surabaya, Yogyakarta, and Bandung.
