QODIR Band Just Released Single 'Penyihir' with a Message for the World

Kapanlagi.com - The band formed by Dul Jaelani has just released their fourth single from the album Seribu Bulan, which was released last year. Qodir Band seems to want to sanctify every song or single they release, with important meaning in every step they take.

Like the song 'Penyihir' which was released on September 22, 2023, it has a significant meaning for Qodir. It is not just an ordinary song that is released or thrown to music lovers, especially Qodir fans throughout the country.

The song 'Penyihir,' which has a strong rock nuance, is packaged in the rock music format that Qodir's friends, consisting of Dul Jaelani, Muhammad Xaviar, Deriel Sudiro, Axel CB, use as a reference.

“We unanimously advocate rock music as the definitive genre of Qodir's music. We see that rock music is nearly extinct in the current millennial era. We want to revive the funk, blues, psychedelic, rock & roll music scene that is almost extinct in the millennial music industry. However, when it comes to the choice of words in the lyrics, we want Qodir's vocalist to have their own interpretation. Because we address various themes in each of our singles,” explained Muhammad Xaviar, the guitarist, giving reasons for why he supports rock music.

The lyrics of the song 'Penyihir' (Witch) are the result of Dul Jaelani's contemplation, who has written many lyrics for Qodir, with the help of Qodir's friends.

For this particular song, Dul chose a rare theme that not many young people of his age observe keenly, which is the phenomenon of global elites that has recently emerged on social media channels and YouTube.

2. Straightforward Diction

"In terms of lyrics, Qodir uses straightforward diction. When I recorded the vocals, I only sang a poem that depicted my concerns about the current era. And perhaps the concerns of many other young people. So there were no lyrics changed since we found the first lyrics. It remained intact from the beginning to the mixing and mastering process. I think the song 'Penyihir' is the most relatable song to the social life of young people nowadays. And this is a form of sarcasm towards the global elite," explained Dul Jaelani.

"As for the production process itself, because this song is included in the album 'Seribu Bulan' which took about 1 year to work on. However, specifically for the song 'Penyihir,' it took 2 months to create the lyrics until the song was completed. Quite a long time for lyric and music discussions," said Muhammad Xaviar, which was agreed upon by Dul Jaelani.
