JAKARTA - Gugun Blues Shelter (GBS) trio guitarist, Gugun released a new solo single featuring Jolling Kribo on the vocal line. Titled Muka Dua, the song, which was released via AFE Records, is sweeping the political world in Indonesia that is currently happening.

Different from GBS, the concept of music served by Gugun Feat. Joining is thicker to hard and heavy rock with a distinctive style of high vocals in the style of the vocalist.

"I deliberately only act as a guitar player. The guitar arrangement is a little difficult to play while singing," said Gugun about his new project.

As for Jolling's election as a vocalist, Gugun admitted, he deliberately did it because he wanted to use a singer who was not widely known but had a strong character and understood how to sing well and correctly.

"With Jolling's high voice style like in the rock era of the 70s-80s, it makes me interested in making music like that era," he continued.

In terms of lyrics, Gugun tries to raise political conditions in the country about sweet promises, trapping opposing rivals to corruption and bribery.

The process of composing this song is arguably not long, but also not for a short time. The reason is, Gugun and Jolling immediately recorded several new songs where the vocal track session was worked on carefully.

"We did this to create harmony. And we also don't want to hear 'cook' in the ears of rock listeners now," Gugun emphasized.

So, why should music fans listen to this song? Because, the rock music that Gugun made in this project is completely purely out of the heart as well as displaying the other side of himself as a blues musician.

"Now is the right time to revive hard rock music which has started to disappear due to duskal karaoke music," he added.

Single Face Two is already available on digital music platforms and the music video can be enjoyed on the AFE Records YouTube channel. The plan, after this, Gugun Feat. Jolling will release another single-single that will be summarized into the mini album (EP).
