Bingkai Karya-After successfully releasing the song ‘I don’t wanna go back home’ with Arash Buana, Shakira Jasmine is back with the release of her latest single titled “Benar Salah.” This song talks about the dilemma and confusion experienced from the “third person” perspective in a relationship. On the one hand, she has genuine feelings for her partner, but on the other hand, she realizes that this relationship is unacceptable by social norms.
Shakira thinks the song has a special place in her heart because it tells a point of view that people rarely discussed. She wanted to represent the feelings of those who have already put their hearts into an illicit relationship. “When you’re already in that position, it’s hard to express definite emotions, everything becomes ambiguous as if it’s very close yet so far away,” she said.
The Challenge
The biggest challenge for Shakira Jasmine in the creative process of making this song was balancing the message of love with the norms of morality. She realized that the act of infidelity cannot be justified. However, the essence of genuine love is still necessary. The song was created to show the honest feelings of the ‘third person’, without bringing judgment or favor.
Regarding the music video for “Benar Salah”, Shakira collaborated with Bagoes Tresna Adjie in which the shooting took place in Bali. Shakira was very satisfied with the MV concept. “This is indeed one of my favorite music videos that I’ve ever made. Everything seems so flawless and honest.”
Although this song contains a fairly sensitive message. Shakira Jasmine hopes that the single “Benar Salah” can be accepted by the wider community. In the future, Shakira has been preparing for the release of her album. Shakira Jasmine’s single “Benar Salah” is available on all digital music platforms. The music video also available on Musica Studio’s YouTube channel.
