JAKARTA - Singer Rafi Sudirman opened 2023 by performing the song Heaven by MALIQ & D Essentials, which was released in 2007. In this song, Rafi collaborated with Dipha Barus as producer and arranger.

"This is one of the most memorable works for me, a dream come true because for the first time I collaborated on the song I sang with Dipha Barus. Rename the song MALIQ & D Essentials with Dipha Barus is the right element for my musical style," said Rafi in a written statement, Friday, quoting Antara.

Rafi's version of Heaven is packed with fresher and upbeat music arrangements. In this song, MALIQ & D Essentials personnel are also still involved.

In addition to collaborating with Dipha Barus, the new color Rafi gave to the song Heaven is by presenting a choir from Insideout. Rafi also plays a saxophone instrument that adds a new feel to the song.

The recording only took one day, because all this time the workshop process was online. Incidentally, Dipha Barus was also in Bali at that time, and I myself was in Jakarta. I learned new things about the production of music and the music itself with Dipha Barus. Also, of course, with Mas Bowo for vocal recting," said Rafi.

This song with a duration of 3:44 minutes was written by Widi Puradiredja, Angga Puradiredja. This song, said Rafi again, is a suitable holiday song, a dream song in the car, on the motorbike, on the bus and anywhere. This song is a cheerful song, dance song and a fun song.

Heaven is the fourth song to enter into the latest project between Warner Music Indonesia and MALIQ & D Essentials.

Other songs that have been released, namely Untitled, were performed by Rahmania Astrini, He was performed by Eclat, and Termaim by Chintya Gabriella.

Heaven can be enjoyed in all digital music services.
