Yes, I am not feeling good this afternoon...back, stomach and head ache. It's that time of the month.....I guess writing gives the comfort I was looking for....
I left work to get some rest at home and slept for almost 3 hours after taking paracetamol. Tiba-tiba malam ni ilham pun menjelma semasa layan a few video clips on You Tube. Cakra Khan this is your lucky day.
Get a headphone. Plug it in. Close your eyes. Just listen to this song.

Lepas tu you boleh bukak mata la...
Frankly speaking I was very skeptical of this guy called Cakra Khan...What Chaka Khan? Yeah I know her...but my sister who introduced me to Cakra Khan said,"No, he's Indonesian and you should listen to this particular song." So I agreed and listened and said, "Ok laaaa....". And I forgot about Cakra Khan.
Until my other half asked me about Cakra Khan last night that I decided to LISTEN to the song recommended by my sister a year ago. Setiap perkataan terakhir dalam bait-bait lagu di ulang guna for the next bait.Okay jugak tu....lain sikit.
How Indonesia can produce such talented artist are beyond my thoughts. As it is, there are hundreds of Indonesian artist flooded our music scenes. Each and everyone of them has individual talent which is uniquely theirs; musical and lyrical. Otherwise they cannot make it long in this fast expanding music industry.
I like Afgan too but his voice is different from Cakra Khan. I love Once ex-Dewa. His voice also gives me the goosebumps. I can give you many other examples of Indonesian artist who are uniquely different one from another....Judika, Tompi, Malliq,...on and on and on...
Not much history of this pure Indonesian looking guy which I came across in Wiki. Cakra Konta Paryaman whose stage name is Cakra Khan was born on 27 February 1992. He started his music career 2 years ago with the release of this song and both became an instant hit.
But bila dengar lagu dia ni ( I belum nak dengar lagu dia yang lain because don't want to spoil the mood), with his raspy voice ranged to perfection blended well with the melody. Yes, I understand why my sister recommended me to listen to Cakra Khan. She knows my taste..always looking for originality in a song. Memang lagu-lagu dari Indonesia ni sangat lain and every time they will come up with better music arrangements. They evolve and they get better....that's what I call talent. Everyone of us have talent but it's how you bring it out....time? money? opportunity? hard work? Yes, I admit memang I suka lagu-lagu Indonesia sebab melodynya bersesuaian dengan kehendak I masa ini. I am a very sensitive person in the inside just like their lyrics. I look strong on the outside just as strong as their melody. And I have feelings just like the singer himself.....we make the song real....kan kan kan....Why should I lie to myself? Kalau suka mengaku suka...hhhaaaa....
