JAKARTA - The song "Serana" by for Revenge is no longer just a companion to sadness in the corner of the room. Through the cold hands of Winky Wiryawan, the song that has become the anthem of the current generation's distress has transformed into an energetic electronic work, but still maintains the depth of its emotions.
This cross-genre and cross-generational collaboration was officially released as an official remix that brings together the spirit of emo-revival with the local dance music culture.
Winky's move to rework "Serana" is not without reason. The Bandung-based Disjoki admitted that he fell in love with "Serana" while preparing a special set for the PestaPora music festival some time ago.
At that time, Winky inserted several versions of local band songs into his performance. However, the emotional resonance caused by "Serana" had a different impact on the 47-year-old man.
"There is something magical about 'Serana'. This song has a depth that not all works have. I feel personally connected, and when the opportunity to release this official remix came, I saw it as a great trust. I want this version to still carry the same feeling, just with a different space," said Winky in his statement, Monday, April 6.
This creative process also received a warm welcome from Revenge. Boniex Noer (vocals) through various opportunities often emphasizes that their music is very open to be explored.
Based on Spotify data, "Serana" is one of the songs with hundreds of millions of streams. The presence of this Winky Wiryawan version seems to provide validation that the boundaries between band and electronic music are now increasingly fluid.
For listeners, this remix version offers a unique sonic experience. If the original version relies on drum beats and guitar roars, Winky's touch takes listeners to a wider but still poetic atmosphere.
Winky not only raised the tempo of the game, he rebuilt the structure of the song so that it could be enjoyed on the dance floor without losing the essence of the lyrics.
This collaboration also emphasizes Winky Wiryawan's position as a tastemaker who is keen to see the potential of local works. In the midst of the onslaught of global music trends, efforts to revive popular songs in different genres show the creativity of Indonesian musicians who do not know the age limit or music style.
