JAKARTA - Menggaet Musician Raim Laode, newcomer Nidewi Aruman, is back with the best work titled 'Expectation'. The musician, known as the Aruma stage name, is very happy to have a duet with Raim Laode.

"I'm very happy to be able to have a duet with Kak Raim because he has a strong voice character and his works are also beautiful. This collaboration also shows me a new experience and a lot of knowledge that I can get here," Aruma said quoting Antara.

"Expectation" was written directly by Raim Laode with his colleague Aditya Sahid. Inspired by the realities that often occur in human life, Raim said humans are often friendly with expectations and end up being hurt.

Raim Laode admitted that the work was a reflection of him when he was still in the long-distance dating stage with a woman who is now his life friend, Komang.

"His aspirations are from a piece of a long-distance story that I was with Komang before getting married many years ago. In the lyrics, there are specific sentences that I said to Komang at that time," said Raim Laode.

For Aruma, the song "Expectation" has its own challenges even though it has the same genre as its debut single.

The girl who was born in Kembang City said she must be able to convey messages from two different points of view through one song. Thus, she must also be able to create the right tone harmonization with her duet friends.

"We have to produce a harmonious tone with combined lyrics so that the meaning of this song reaches the listeners," said Aruma.

With its meaning felt in Aruma, he hopes that the song can be accepted by music lovers in the country. Not only that, he also hopes that the song can voice the feelings of a couple who often has expectations in their relationship but it does not materialize.

"Hopefully through the lyrics in this song, they can better understand and appreciate the feelings of their respective partners so that the relationship that has been fought for together will survive," said the 20-year-old girl.

Aruma's second single duet with Raim Laode 'Expectation' can now be enjoyed on digital music platforms starting June 30, 2023. Aruma started his career as a singer at the end of 2022 with the single "Muak", which has been enjoyed 13 million times via YouTube in the last seven months.
