JAKARTA - The song "Nurlela" was written by Bing Slamet and first released in 1956. Recently, Andre Taulany and Ayu Ting Ting performed a cover of the song.
Andre ensured that the cover of the song "Nurlela" had gone through the process according to the rules. He was sure that there were no problems related to copyright, like when he had to deal with Ndhank in the song "Mungkinkah".
"So, actually I have prepared it well in advance and this is not the first time, in ATF (Andre Taulany & Friends) we have done the administration, royalties and so on," said Andre Taulany to the media crew in Tendean, South Jakarta, Friday, November 29.
The former vocalist of Stinky said that his party had contacted the publisher, songwriter, and lyricist. After getting permission, they have also made a letter of cooperation for the cover of the song "Nurlela".
"We have taken care of the administration and legality, so let's do it," said Andre.
In addition, this collaboration has also been approved by the management that oversees Ayu Ting Ting.
"I immediately told the management, the management team responded well. And Mr. Andre didn't choose the song carelessly, they also didn't have a problem, and everything is safe," said Ayu.
"I'm also happy to be able to work with Mr. Andre. Hopefully this song can entertain the public," she added.
Furthermore, Andre hopes that his collaboration with Ayu can be known by the wider community, and can become a famous duet like Benyamin Sueb and Ida Royani.
"So if in the past there was Benyamin and Ida Royani, we want to make the current version," he said.
The selection of Ayu as a duet partner, said Andre, apart from knowing each other because they have worked on the same program for quite a long time, it will be interesting to hear Ayu sing outside of dangdut music.
"You've never heard Ayu sing pop-jazz," said Andre.
Furthermore, Andre also informed that he had prepared another work for this duet, not a cover song but a song he wrote himself.
"After 'Nurlela', there has been a self-created single, I made it," said Andre.
"The point is that we both want to make a version like Benyamin and Ida Royani. Pray, hopefully there can be another single and entertain the Indonesian people, especially Indonesian music lovers," he concluded.
