Nicky Astria - Ke Mana?

Album Tittle : Ke Mana? 

Artist : Nicky Astria 

Year of Released : 2003 

Music Director : Azis MS, Jockie Suryoprayogo, Power Metal 

Producer : Log Zhelebour 

Label : Logiss Records

LOG ZHELEBOUR is known as a cold-handed producer in the rock genre who has succeeded in launching many names in the Indonesian music industry such as MEL SHANDY, JAMRUD, BOOMERANG, POWER METAL, ELPAMAS, and even managed to re-launch GOD BLESS which has been on hiatus for a long time. Meanwhile, NICKY ASTRIA is Indonesia's leading lady rocker who has survived several decades with a series of hit albums and sales of millions of copies. What if those two forces are put together? KE MANA? is their collaboration that tries to answer various questions about a dream project that was originally just 'wishful thinking' of rock music lovers. In this album, Nicky is directed by Log to get out of her comfort zone. Usually Nicky is handled by IAN ANTONO or YOUNKY SOEWARNO, and it is proven that both names have successfully combined chemistry with Nicky's character. This time, Log enlisted AZIS MS from JAMRUD, JOCKIE SURYOPRAYOGO and POWER METAL to arrange the music. The song supply, apart from Jockie and Azis, was also mostly written by ENCUNK HARYADI a.k.a. GOLDEN BOY. They certainly did a good job in providing the right songs and music for Nicky. Log also seemed to be on fire for this album. 4 music videos were made for promotional purposes. Starting with SELAMAT TINGGAL by Azis was chosen as the main single, followed by YOU AND ME, KEHILANGAN and KEJUJURAN. 4 songs that are quite catchy and potential hits. Log's ears have certainly been 'honed' for this business. But unfortunately this album did not manage to speak in the market, even the 4 singles released did not succeed in becoming hits.

SELAMAT TINGGAL

Usailah sudah

Cerita antara kita berdua

Dan tak perlu lagi bicara obral kata

Hanya untuk saling menyiksa

Lepaskan saja

Semua yang pernah kita jalani

Agar kelak tak ada luka dan kecewa

Atau dendam antara kita

Dan aku lari dari mimpi

Di sampingmu biarlah pergi

Ya, percuma hanya buang waktu

Selama denganmu

Lupakan saja

Pasti tak ada tangis, tak ada haru

Sedangkan hidup adalah karunia

Ucapkan selamat tinggal

GOODBYE

It's over

The story between the two of us

And there's no need to talk anymore

Just to torment each other

Let it go

Everything we've ever lived through

So that one day there will be no hurt and disappointment

Or grudges between us

And I run away from the dream beside you 

Let it go

Yes, it's useless to waste time

As long as with you

Forget it

There must be no tears, no emotion

While life is a gift

Say goodbye
