The Reason Radja Chooses Vadel Badjideh To Star In What Music Video

JAKARTA - The band Radja has just released its newest single entitled 'What', which is widely discussed on social media, not only because of the resemblance of its hook to Rosé and Bruno Mars' song, but also the presence of Vadel Badjideh as the star of the music video.

Ian Kasela (vocals) said that the presence of the figure of Vadel and his brother, Bintang was deemed to be in accordance with the upbeat feel that Radja wanted to present in his new single.

"Video clips here do have the figures of Vadel and Bintang, why did they invite them? Honestly, Radja's music in Is Sih is very varied and Radja is very popular, because it's really upbeat. We think that the style is just a less exciting band, we immediately get ideas, we involve dance," said Ian Kasela to the media crew in Mampang, South Jakarta, Monday, December 23.

"We are looking for someone who fits, 'Oh, yes,' there are two children who have very strong talent. I almost rarely find a very energetic dance and the choreography, and it's really cool. Without us looking at the background, because this is what he has taken, so I agree, let's invite Vadel, and Vadel agree, he will," he continued.

Given, it seems that the influence of APT. is felt in Radja's song this time, Vadel's figure is also shown like the appearance of Bruno Mars in several video clips.

In one scene of the music video What Sih, Vadel is seen playing the drums, similar to Bruno Mars playing the drums in the music video APT.. In addition, Vadel's face in several scenes also turned into a monkey, similar to Mars' 'Lazy Song' music video.

Moldy (guitar) feels that Vadel and Bruno Mars are similar, so the music video is worked on in such a way as to describe the similarities between the two.

"So in this video, it slightly directs that (Vadel) is again (to become) Bruno Mars Indonesia," said Moldy.

However, the two Radja personnel refused if Vadel's involvement this time was because he wanted to take advantage of the legal problems Vadel was going through.

"I've never even looked into his case. I don't see his background," said Ian.

"WE took Vadel because he was unique in dancing, it was fun, among other dances, it was normal, (Vadel) there was another new spirit," concluded Moldy.
