Kapanlagi.com - After three years of hiatus from releasing music, Wika Salim is once again enlivening the Indonesian music industry with her latest single titled Penyesalan.

Unlike some of her previous singles, for this latest single, Wika Salim performs a song in the pop genre. Is Wika tired of dangdut and leaving it behind?

Answering that question, the woman who now frequently appears on TV as a co-host of the program Ini Baru Empat Mata on Trans7, said she will never leave dangdut that has made her name known.

1. Want to Explore Music

Currently, she wants to explore her abilities in the world of singing. Wika also does not rule out the possibility of singing songs with different genres again.

“There is a little transition from dangdut to pop. If you say changing genres, it's not really. But the intention is to enrich the exploration of music. Meaning, not just in dangdut. After this, I might sing keroncong,” explained Wika Salim, who has also appeared in several soap operas and TV movies, in Jakarta on Wednesday (12/2).

2. Recording Difficulties

Because it is different from the music genre she has been pursuing, Wika admitted that she faced many difficulties in the recording process to perform the song Penyesalan composed by Didit 'Tiganama'.

“Dangdut music is mostly upbeat. But this music is mellow with lyrics that are much more serious. The challenge is to eliminate the dangdut style. So it took some time during the recording to eliminate the sudden dangdut style,” she explained.

After going through various obstacles, the single Penyesalan is finally completed and Wika hopes that her latest single will be accepted by music lovers.
