Bingkai Karya– Dewa 19 returning with ‘Tak Ada Yang Sebanding Dengan Mu.’ This song shows that this iconic band’s originality and energy lasted for decades. Dewa 19’s latest track, ‘Tak Ada Yang Sebanding Dengan Mu’, reflects their desire to stay contemporary while keeping their musical uniqueness.
As Ahmad Dhani’s first ballad-tempo single, Tak Ada Yang Sebanding Dengan Mu is exceptional. Ari Lasso and Once Mekel, Dewa 19’s lead vocalists, have always sung slow or ballad songs since 1992. DEWA19 tried a new slow ballad tune with Ahmad Dhani as the lead vocalist.
Tak Ada Yang Sebanding Dengan Mu is based on an instrumental song from the SAXOPHONE Player Album DAVID SANBORN, with lyrics by Ahmad Dhani. This song features TOTO guitarist Steve Lukather on lead guitar and Dave Koz on saxophone. Due to DEWA19’s longtime inspiration from TOTO, Steve Lukather collaborated with them.
MARCELLO TAHITOE sings background vocals in Tak Ada Yang Sebanding Dengan Mu alongside various other performers. Dewa 19 has seen multiple lineup changes over the past three decades, including the vocalist switch from Ari Lasso to Once Mekel, which heralded a new era. Ahmad Dhani, the band’s founder, drives creativity. Dewa 19—Ahmad Dhani, Keyboard, Vocals, Andra Ramadhan, Guitar, Yuke Sampurna, Bass, Agung Yudha, Drums—invite Once Mekel and Marcello Tahitoe (Ello) in 2024.
This new lineup helps Dewa 19 stay contemporary while preserving their musical tradition. With their latest single, they’re innovating with a more modern sound while often reuniting.
Dewa 19’s Tak Ada Yang Sebanding Mu demonstrates they’re a legendary band and musicians that always touch listeners’ emotions. This song connects old fans’ nostalgia with young fans’ spirit. I hope Dewa 19’s new song will be accepted and always touch hearts. Happy listening!
