DRIVE returns with a new version of “Akulah Dia”. “Akulah Dia” is one of DRIVE’s music that represents them which is thick with overdrive guitar sound, modern arrangements, up-beat tempo, and unique lyrical themes. DRIVE’s decision to re-release this song with a new vocalist, Axl Ramanda, will definitely be interesting and exciting to listen to.
Now, DRIVE has the new formation of Axl Ramanda (vocals), Bhusdeq (guitar), Dygo (bass), and Rudy (drums). Axl is the new vocalist who replaces Arizki’s position as the previous vocalist. The presence of Axl as the new vocalist also received a positive response from Drivemaniacs or DRIVE’s fans.
“Akulah Dia” is a song by Bhusdeq released in 2010. This song tells about the expression of a man who wants to make his girlfriend realize that he is the dream man that the woman has been looking for. Now, DRIVE is re-releasing this song with a different arrangement with a new vocalist, Axl Ramanda, which makes this song more powerful.
Bhusdeq said that actually re-releasing works is less challenging due to limited creativity. However, many people are waiting for this, because of the trend. The entry of Axl Ramanda is also the right moment because the results will be unique and cool. The song notes and lyrics have not changed, but the arrangement has changed, and is one of several arrangement choices commonly used by DRIVE.

Bhusdeq added that “Akulah Dia (New Version)” became the right moment for Axl for various musical and non-musical factors. The joy that sounds original and the spirit is also very felt. This is what makes this song unique, even when compared to the previous version.
The process of recording this song was done with the preparation of the 7th album of DRIVE. It is planned that DRIVE will also re-release the song “Melepasmu” with a new arrangement. These two songs will be among the 7 songs on DRIVE’s new album later.
DRIVE hopes that this new formation can get a good impression from Indonesian music lovers, like DRIVE’s previous works. Regardless of the many phases that DRIVE has gone through, they remain committed to continuing to work in the Indonesian music industry.
