JAKARTA - Zul Zivilia launched his latest single titled Setia Meski Tak Di Sampingmu' for the band. This song is Zivilia's first release since the vocalist was in prison.

As is known, he is currently languishing in the Class IIA Special Penitentiary (Lapas) Gunung Sindur, Bogor. Although he has been in prison for more than five years, Zul still has the opportunity to develop his potential for music.

With the release of the new song, Zul hopes that his work can produce and help the economy of his wife and children.

"Personal considerations (released a new song) yes for the economy too, hopefully it can help my family's economy too," said Zul Zivilia after the release of the song at the Class IIA Special Prison Gunung Sindur, Tuesday, November 5.

"So far, I've only been given the opportunity to sing and entertain, but yes (the income) can only be made for myself, at least I don't bother my family out there," he continued.

The release of the new song can be carried out thanks to the cooperation between the prison and Kartamakala Music as labels. Two other Zivilia personnel, Rendy (bass) and Obot (drums), were also involved.

"So it's the prison that actually provides support and provides a way for me to get here. Anyway, I'm very happy," said Zul.

"Friends from outside have to bring the recording tools here, and everything can happen because the prison has given permission for sound recordings here, the music recordings are made outside," he added.

Not only can you hear it on digital music platforms, Setia Meski Tak Di Sampingmu is also present in the form of a music video, which is shot in the prison area and involves his wife and children.

"Yes, the children had time to come, coincidentally when they visited at that time. So when we visited, all of them (filmed a music video)," concluded Zul.
