'Rainbow and Rain', Fatin's Latest Single with Japanese City Pop Nuances

Kapanlagi.com - Today (4/9), Fatin Shidqia Lubis released her latest single titled Rainbow and Rain with Japanese nuances. As known, Fatin is a fan of Japanese pop culture, including comics, anime, games, and J-Pop songs.

Creating a work with J-Pop nuances has been a long-time dream for her. Together with Nadya Fatira, she gave birth to the song Rainbow and Rain. Listening to this song feels like going back to the classic J-Pop era in the 80s-90s with a catchy intro and an easy-listening melody.

"Actually, it's because I really love Japan and it inspires me a lot. So, initially, I sang it because I watched anime, liked anime soundtracks, liked comic drawings," said Fatin during a virtual press conference on Friday (4/9).

1. Wanting to be More Personal

Heading towards her latest album, Fatin wants to create songs that are more personal. Like the songs Pelangi and Hujan, which have a musical style that is strongly influenced by Japanese vibes, just like her favorites all this time. 

"So because of this, as I'm heading towards a new album, I want it to be much more personal than the previous one," said the singer, born on July 30, 1996.

The meaning of the songs Pelangi and Hujan is a story of a couple who are in the midst of falling in love. The days become more beautiful when spent together with their partner. 

"In the sense that we are together during both the Rainbow and the Rain. Besides that, it can also mean being happy together even when feeling sad," expressed Fatin.

"When we're falling in love, it feels like he's the one. Even though we actually don't know. During the early stages of dating, like one or two months, that's what I think about when listening to this song," she concluded.
