Latest Single Release Titled 'Dancing', GIGI Aims for Young Listeners

Kapanlagi.com - After advocating for musician royalties, Armand Maulana is back to being productive with GIGI. GIGI officially introduces their latest single titled Menari-nari, which serves as a prelude to the release of their next full album titled Forever In The Air.

This song offers a fresher musical color while still maintaining the distinctive characteristics of GIGI that have long been embedded in the Indonesian music industry.

Additionally, Menari-nari is also released in the form of a lyric video featuring metropolitan-style visuals, serving as an artistic interpretation of the song's meaning.

1. Freshness

This work was born from the spirit of the four members of GIGI — Armand Maulana, Dewa Budjana, Thomas Ramdhan, and Hendy — to revive the music atmosphere in Indonesia.

With a more relevant and fresh vibe, GIGI aims to greet their loyal fans while also embracing a younger generation of listeners.

"The hope is that this song can serve as a bridge across generations and strengthen GIGI's existence on the Indonesian music stage," GIGI stated in their official statement.

All this time, GIGI has been known for their strong pop-rock music character and dynamic arrangements. However, through Menari-nari, they attempt to present a lighter and simpler approach.

2. Past Relationships

Even though they are taking a new step, this song remains a part of GIGI's musical journey without losing the identity they have built over the years.

Menari-nari raises topics about human relationships with the past — that memories, both sweet and bitter, often linger as shadows that leave marks.

Instead of avoiding or lamenting, GIGI invites their listeners to dance with their past.

"Because only in that way can we step lightly into a future full of possibilities," reads the meaningful narrative accompanying this song.

3. The Acceptance Process

This song brings an approach to emotional healing that does not rely on escapism, but rather through the process of acceptance. Every step taken today is the result of the journey that has been traveled before.

In its creative process, Menari-nari went through various stages of exploration. An initial workshop was held in the Puncak area with a faster arrangement version and a different tone. However, over time, the rhythm of the song was slowed down to create a deeper balance.

Various ideas were considered, including adding a Hawaiian solo or harmonica. However, in the end, all four members of GIGI agreed to maintain the integrity of the song's originality. Even the guitar solo that was initially recorded as a guide remained used until the final mixing stage.

“Because like the past, sometimes the unplanned things are the ones that are most worthy of being left behind,” said GIGI, describing a creative process rich in reflection.

The single Menari-nari from GIGI can now be enjoyed on various digital streaming services.
