Kapanlagi.com - Malaysian teenage singer Alyssa Dezek and Indonesian singer, Ry Hyori Dermawan, are ready to enliven the music industry of the homeland by releasing their first duet single titled Lagu Untuk Kamu.

Posan Tobing, the producer and creator of Lagu Untuk Kamu said that he wants to repeat the success of the song in Malaysia by bringing its duet version with Ry Hyori Dermawan. He has his own reasons for choosing Ry Hyori Dermawan.

"Ry Hyori is a young Indonesian singer with a million talents. He has won many awards not only here but also in Malaysia, Canada, and the United States," said Posan Tobing to the media in the Senayan area, South Jakarta on Monday (5/6/2023).

Alyssa Dezek said she was happy with this collaboration. She then hopes that the song will also boom in Indonesia.

"At first, I didn't expect Lagu Untuk Kamu to be popular in Malaysia. Hopefully, this duet version will also be successful in Indonesia," said Alyssa Dezek.

Meanwhile, Ry Hyori Dermawan admitted that she was initially burdened when she was going to duet with Alyssa. Especially since she knew in Malaysia, Alyssa is a famous singer who has millions of viewers on Youtube.

"I'm really happy to be able to duet with a Malaysian singer. I hope this song will be successful. There is a little burden, but Kak Alyssa is nice so there is no difficulty in working together. I also want to be famous like Kak Alyssa," said Ry Hyori Dermawan.

2. Universal Love

Posan Tobing said that there was no difficulty in aligning the two character voices of Malaysian and Indonesian singers. Furthermore, Posan explained that Lagu Untuk Kamu is about universal love.

"Indonesian and Malaysian songs are not much different in lyrics or music. When making a new arrangement, I make it easy so they won't have a hard time singing it," said the former drummer of the Kotak band.

"Although this song is about love, it is more universal. Love for anyone, parents, friends, so it can still be sung by teenagers their age," concluded Posan Tobing.

Lagu Untuk Kamu tells the story of a feeling of love for someone. If you miss them, then it can be cured by calling each other, watching TikTok and Youtube.
