Kapanlagi.com - Tasikmalaya-born dangdut singer, Rifa Melinda, solidifies her presence in the Indonesian dangdut music industry by releasing her third single titled Cing Atulah. As known, Rifa's previous singles, Maunya Sama Kamu and Pelan-Pelan Saja, have successfully captured the hearts of dangdut music lovers.
Cing Atulah combines the modern dangdut (EDM) music style with the nuances of Sundanese traditional music. The single, created by Dudi Wardiman, still revolves around a love theme with easily digestible lyrics.
"This (Cing Atulah) is my latest single which tells the story of a spoiled woman who wants to be pampered by her partner, wanting to be taken shopping to look even more beautiful," said Rifa through a phone call on Tuesday (11/8).

Rifa also tries to convey a message to men through the song Cing Atulah. According to her, a man should not be stingy towards his partner, because it will also have a positive impact on themselves.
"Through this song, I also want to convey a message to most men to not be stingy towards their partners, especially when it comes to appearance. If the woman is beautiful, won't the partner also be proud?" said the girl born on May 2, 2000.
The phrase Cing Atulah itself is an invitation in the Sundanese language.
"Rifa hopes that this new single will be liked and listened to by the community, especially the lovers of dangdut music throughout the country, especially now during the corona pandemic where people need entertainment to avoid stress," Rifa concluded.
