Opop said, there are no difficulties in working on the song Tanpa Dirimu. Instead, he gained a lot of insights from Pay Burman who has a wealth of experience in the Indonesian music industry.

2. Recording the Song Live

Meanwhile, Pay Burman, who acted as the producer, said that the recording process of the song Tanpa Dirimu was done live. The BIP band's guitarist said that Zealous is a band with a high spirit to revive Indonesian rock music.

"Everything is taken live. Now it's the digital era. The drummer also really took it, which seems rare nowadays," said Pay Burman.

"They are a rock band, their spirit is burning. In the future, they can enter the empty space of rock music. I hope the kids can fill that space," said Pay.

3. There Are Two Songs

Zealous together with Pay Burman has released two songs. First, they re-released Andy Liany's song titled Sanggupkah Aku. After that, they brought a new song called Tanpa Dirimu. Zealous is a band from Manado formed in late 2019 in Bali. Carrying the rock genre, they have released the EP SEXY in 2022. In order to promote the EP SEXY SEC, Zealous went on a tour in several cities in Indonesia.

"The point is to release creative work. Whether people accept it or not, that's another matter. I always teach to just release what you have, the marketing is another issue," concluded Pay.
