Alfin Habib Tells of Love Betrayal Through the Song 'Hilang Saat Terang'

Kapanlagi.com - Alfin Habib is a singer nominated for the AMI Awards 2023, who released his latest single titled "Hilang Saat Terang" on Friday (26/7/2024). This song was released under Megah Music, a sub-label of Sony Music Entertainment Indonesia.

This song was created by Dicky Martin, a musician from Tasikmalaya. It's not just a song, but also an emotional story that depicts feelings of heartbreak and disappointment in a relationship.

"The theme itself can be said to be one that is close to the romantic lives of many people," said Alfin Habib to reporters.

"It's about two people who are in love, but at the height of their affection, there turns out to be betrayal happening between them, leading to one being hurt due to the uncertainty they feel," he added.

Alfin Habib recounts that this song was chosen because it fits his vocal character and the theme that resonates with many people's experiences in love.

"Initially, the Sony Music team provided me with three song options from Kang Dicky to choose as the second song. It turns out that among the three, this song is the most suitable because it aligns with the vocal character I have," he said.

The process of creating "Hilang Saat Terang" took about a month, starting from the introduction of the song to the recording process. Alfin Habib explained that there were no significant changes in the lyrics or melody since the song was first offered to him by the Sony Music team.

However, there were additions of several instruments to create a more grand musical impression. Alfin also tried to incorporate a subtle Malay nuance so that the song remains easy to listen to and fits the listeners' taste.

2. Different from the Previous Single

“There are just a few additional specific instruments to make the music feel more grand. Besides that, I tried to bring a Malay nuance into this song, but in a way that is not excessive so that it remains easy listening and can appeal to the tastes of the listeners,” said Alfin Habib.

Alfin Habib emphasizes that Hilang Saat Terang is substantially different from the previous single, Permaisuri Hatiku. Both in terms of theme and tempo, these two songs have unique characteristics. Alfin also strives to take the listeners along the storyline of these songs through his singing technique and inherent expression.

“Of course, there is a difference between Hilang Saat Terang and Permaisuri Hatiku because these are two different types of songs, both in terms of theme and tempo,” he explained.

3. So That No One Gets Hurt

Through this song, Alfin Habib wants to convey the message about the importance of loyalty and maintaining relationships. For him, a relationship is not something that can be ignored once it is obtained. It requires care and attention so that no one feels hurt or lost.

“A relationship is not something that can be left unattended once it is obtained. It must be nurtured and constantly maintained so that no one feels hurt. If in a relationship we do not know how to take care of it, then be prepared to feel the loss,” he concluded.

With the hard work of his team, Alfin Habib hopes that Hilang Saat Terang can be well-received by listeners and have a positive impact on the music industry in the homeland.
