Radja Band

JAKARTA - After several days of disappearance, the band Radja has re-entered a new single entitled 'What Sih' into its music catalog on Spotify.

Different from the original version, the band, which consists of Ian Kasela (vocals), Moldy (guitar), Seno Aji (drums), and Ojie (bass), removed the controversial part of the song, which has criticized many Indonesian music lovers for imitating the hooks of the song APT. from Rosé and Bruno Mars.

Through the official Instagram account, Radja has also announced the re-emergence of the single on the digital streaming platform.

"Greetings of peace & happy 2025, apologize for all the news, those who want to hear again on the spotify are already there, we are ready to entertain everyone," wrote Radja, citing the caption of the upload, Tuesday, January 7.

However, Radja seems to forget that the rhythm guitar played by Moldy, the rhythm that stands out very prominent in the song What Sih, is also very synonymous with the song The Offspring entitled Prety Fly (For A White Guy).

Although he still has support from his fans, Radja also cannot contain the criticism that continues to be sent by netizens. The reason is, they are still showing live performance videos by bringing the controversial early version of What Sih.

"On Spotify, the song has been modified. The live version is the same as on Spotify so you don't use the famous song and make profits from it," wrote one netizen in the comments column.

"Honestly, their marketing is good for making it viral. Even though it's viral, there are many blasphemys. It's too stupid to overdo it," wrote another netizen.
