YOGYAKARTA - Maybe for residents of the capital, the name Nabila Maharani is foreign to hear than the names of other singers who stick out through indie labels. But for those who use the term 'ambyar' (broken heart) with Javanese Koplo songs, Nabila Maharani is nothing new to their ears.

Nabila Maharani, a singer from Yogyakarta, has become known to the public through her cover video. Nabila often sings with Tri Suaka at Pendopo Lawas, North Square, Yogyakarta.

This girl who was born in February 1999, who has a YouTube channel with 659 thousand subscribers, often attracts attention on social media.

Once, Nabila Maharani, Tri Suaka, sang with Woro Widowati. Dalan Liyane's song to Balik Kanan Wae.

Why did Nabila Maharani get attention?

Mae, an employee in Jakarta who was born in Yogyakarta, said that Nabila, Woro, or Happy Asmara could compose songs that could touch the hearts of many people, especially young people who are often nicknamed 'fragile hearts'.

“They can bring the Java Koplo song to more people. The message reaches those who initially like the pop genre," he said.

This opinion was also voiced by Dhani, an office worker in Jakarta. Music for him can penetrate certain 'boundaries' that others may not think of.

"Music is not hindered by language, it touches the taste first, you can search for different language matters, Google translate the term," said Dhani, this Semarang-born man laughed.

He gave an example of his friend who is of Batak descent but is compatible with broken heart songs. He saw his friend struggling to decipher the Javanese language in order to understand the meaning of the message conveyed in the song while still tuning the songs on his laptop.

For Dhani, cover songs performed by Nabila Maharani or singers from other regions can be accepted even though the listener has to struggle to translate the song into Indonesian.

“Nabila Maharani has a nice voice, is crisp and the Javanese diction is also easy to understand. So it's kind of nostalgic for Javanese songs performed by pop music models," said Dhani.
