'Rindu Kabah' Becomes Qemil Zain's Third Single to Welcome the Month of Fasting

Kapanlagi.com - Qemil Zain is releasing a new song to welcome the upcoming month of fasting. This third single has a religious theme titled 'Rindu Kabah'. The song was created based on what Qemil wanted.

The making of this song was quite challenging for Qemil as there were several changes in the arrangement. From initially being in the dangdut genre, it was changed to pop, but still has the characteristic of Qemil.

"It's about someone who misses the Kaaba. Muslims certainly want to worship in the holy land. I chose this song because it's what I feel too. I really want to go there. Especially now, during the pandemic, there are many strict rules for the pilgrims," said Qemil recently in Jakarta.

This song is so personal to Qemil. Since the first time he read the lyrics, Qemil already felt touched, moved, even teary-eyed while reading it.

"The moment was intentionally chosen before Ramadan. Its preparation was during the early pandemic. The hope is that this song can be an inspiration because the lyrics explain how it is in Mecca and Medina. The song also tells the story of someone who has been to the Holy Land and wants to return," he continued.

2. Music Video

Qemil revealed that the music video has also been completed and will be released soon. In line with the song's content, the music video was made with the intention of visualizing the story of the song Rindu Kabah.

"The music video has been produced, it will be released on the 1st. About someone who finds it very difficult to go there, then that person prays to Allah to be called to the Holy Land soon," said the singer who was once part of the group Gaul replacing Saipul Jamil.
