"I am very grateful today to officially release my sixth single titled Ramadhanku, this is also an extraordinary moment during the fasting month and Kartini Day," said Roro Fitria.

"Yes, intentionally because since I embraced Islam, Nyai (a term for a noblewoman) always wants to express gratitude to Allah SWT. Nyai always wants to emphasize that women can show their capabilities in various aspects and wants to contribute to advancing the image of Indonesian women," she added.

2. Shooting in Yogyakarta

Different from previous music videos, this time Roro chose to shoot at the tourist destination of Gunung Turgo, Sleman, Yogyakarta, right at the foot of Mount Merapi. She didn't choose a religious tourist location like a mosque, because apart from health protocol reasons, Roro Fitria wants to highlight tourism spots.

"Choosing Gunung Turgo, Sleman, Yogyakarta as the location is because we are still in a pandemic period, so it is not possible to shoot at locations like a mosque. We have obtained permission, but it is not allowed yet. Nyai also collaborates with the local government to promote the submerged tourism object, which is Turgo tourism in the Kaliurang area on the slopes of Mount Merapi," explained Roro Fitria.

3. Experiment Results

In addition, in its packaging, the song Ramadhanku is combined with three musical elements such as Religious Pop, EDM, and Arabic Music. Gilang AKA, as Roro's duet partner in this song, said that the development of this song was purely the result of their experiment with Roro Fitria.

"This is our experiment, at first we just did remote jams or met up like that, so if there's an idea but I said let's try a different genre like jazz, finally we got Pop, EDM, Arabic combined. We met and then it flowed naturally for writing the lyrics," said Gilan AKA.

As for the visual music video, one of the directors and DOP from Yogyakarta, Arda, admitted that he was very challenged by the song Ramadhanku. Because there are many hidden messages, from the selection of locations to the costumes worn by Roro Fitria.

4. Representation of Nature

"As for the costume model, it was Nyai's own initiative, when talking about the color white it symbolizes the presence of positive energy, and nature represents the universe. Honestly, we were surprised when we saw the costume but this is a challenge for us because the song is unique, so we made the music video unique as well," concluded Arda.

For the distribution of the song Ramadhanku, Roro Fitria collaborated with 57 digital platforms worldwide. Not only that, this song can also be requested on 120 radio stations throughout Indonesia.

The Covid-19 pandemic should not be a barrier to continue being productive. In addition, always remember to #IngatPesanIbu (#RememberMother'sMessage). Wear a mask, wash hands regularly, limit mobility, avoid crowds, and maintain distance. Hopefully, KLovers always stay healthy!
