Reinterpreting the Single 'Sayang', Alma Margana Believes Her Version is More Popular than Pasto's

Kapanlagi.com - At the end of 2020, the hit single Sayang by Pasto went viral and was loved by music lovers in the country. This time, the beautiful singer Alma Margana had the opportunity to perform the song with her own version.

Not just covering or recycling, Alma apparently had the freedom to 'own' the song Sayang according to her own creativity. Alma certainly didn't want to miss this golden opportunity, especially since the theme of the song also reflects her current mood.

As the title suggests, the song Sayang tells the story of someone's feelings for their loved one. Does that mean that the girl born in Garut on March 5, 1999 is falling in love with someone?

"Because this song is perfect for Alma according to Alma's current feelings. And this song is a song to express and assure her partner that she loves him. And she will never leave him," said Alma recently.

The song Sayang in Pasto's version is already well-known and has its own fans. However, Alma believes that her version will not lose to the original. In her hands, this song becomes very different. The arrangement is made more modern with a more upbeat tempo.

"The music is now. That's why I like it and it suits me well. There is a difference in the way of singing. It has a Mandarin note. The lyrics have been changed to express it to a man," continued Alma.

Another advantage that Alma uses to compete with the original version is through the music video. In the official video posted on the Pelangi Records channel, Alma dares to appear sexy and seductive, a trait that Pasto certainly does not have.
