Paul Partohap, who earlier this year released the heartwarming friendship-themed song “BESTFRiEND” in July, has made a grand return with an exciting surprise. This time, Paul has joined forces with a remarkable lineup of fellow Asian musicians, including Nathan Hartono from Singapore, D Gerrard from Thailand, Arthur Miguel from the Philippines, and Rizal Rasid from Malaysia, to bring a fresh rendition of “BESTFRiEND” to the world. “BESTFRiEND” is released under the Arseri Music and Warner Music Indonesia labels.
The essence of “BESTFRiEND,” which beautifully portrays Paul’s friendship with his Indonesian companions in Germany, has been brilliantly brought to life through this stellar collaboration with talented musicians from across Asia.
Speaking about the project, Paul shared, “This has been an incredibly valuable experience for me. A song that originally drew inspiration from my German friendships is now a reality, thanks to my musician friends from Southeast Asia. The entire creative and recording process felt seamless, almost like hanging out with friends. As a result, ‘BESTFRiEND’ is a song we wholeheartedly sang together as friends.”

Nathan Hartono, D Gerrard, Arthur Miguel, and Rizal Rasid were specially flown in from their respective countries to Indonesia to work on “BESTFRiEND.” This journey included recording the song and creating an official music video, which you can watch right HERE.
The official music video, artfully directed by Andika Bayu, embraces a simple yet heartwarming concept, underscoring the warmth and camaraderie among the artists without diluting their individual uniqueness. The “homey” setting in the video perfectly encapsulates the intimacy, openness, and comfort that are emblematic of genuine friendship.
“BESTFRiEND” is now available for streaming on all major digital platforms, inviting music lovers worldwide to savor this extraordinary musical collaboration.
