Until When Monolingual Continues - Opinion

Music belongs to everyone. Theirs who make it into a career, or those who are willing to sacrifice to make it a hobby. Those who love to work, or those who like to enjoy. Those who choose to insert themselves to be able to isolate themselves from the hustle and bustle of life indoors with tape recorders, musical instruments, and scraps of paper containing the inspiration they have put together with hard-to-work endeavors, or those in daily practice must clog both ears those with ear loudspeakers to hear the music from their Spotify Premium accounts save money this month.

Lately, I as a music connoisseur of R & B and also Hip Hop saw the innovation of music works from Asia in the flow. The emergence of musicians under 88rising such as Rich Brian, NIKI, Higher Brothers, then DEAN from south korea, alextbh from malaysia, A. Nayaka and Emir Hermono from Indonesia. These musicians have begun to accept his work in many audiences, such as Rich Brian who has toured many people in two years, DEAN who managed to climb the stairs in public in collaboration with Syd from the Internet, and Emir Hermono whose name often appears at various events as performers in Indonesia and Malaysia.

There is one that can be found from these musicians. Although they are from Asia, their work that can be realized by the general public even those who are part of the Asian community itself is a work that uses English. Does using the vocabulary of contributing more to a musical piece?

If you play DEAN, surely what comes to mind is his song titled "love" or "Put My Hand on You". Both of these songs I often encounter are played in public places several times. In fact, his songs are using the Korean language is also no less good. The song titled "instagram" which he just released last December, Saving some famous music charts in South Korea. However, such work can only be used by South Korea and people who actually come from DEAN.

I myself did not at first understand the whole story of the "instagram" song, but he managed to cradle my touch with his trademark trait of adding a small detail like a sound effect that became a supporter in realizing the atmosphere that allowed him to convey in the song. Without deep language difficulties, I managed to capture that I wanted to make the listener feel as if I was thinking alone. The bait I understand from the song is "lonely, lonely, so lonely", but my heart feels lonely as if to understand the whole of the song. Because the times are sophisticated, over the internet I can relate to people who do English and explain Korean explaining the meaning of the song, that is the story of how people who use perfect life on Instagram, make us more likely to be lonely and depressed because they are not sebahagia and not perfect as the life of others when we are scrolling our Instagram feed every day. The meaning of a song should not only be done by reading the lyrics of the line of the line, and without the things spoken can still be included in the heart of the listener. Unfortunately, people who have exclusive music taste will lose skip button when they hear songs from DEAN that are not available in English.

Then Emir Hermono, the song "3AM In Jakarta" and "021" has become not for those who sacrifice themselves. The album, titled "3AM in Jakarta", has some songs that reach Indonesia. I myself had an awkward mindset when I was going to listen to the Hip Hop R & B song that crossed Indonesia, but the vocabulary spoken by Emir Hermono and the artists who performed in the songs turned out to be the same as the quiz. The song titled "Complains" with DJ CZA and Niska has a vibe and Hip Hop flow that keeps our feet moving following the beat of the song. The vocabulary used in the songs does not seem strange when heard, and in accordance with the beat of the song.

Then "Away" with OmarKENOBI and Nadya Tasya Saraswati, begins and ends with the voice of a woman as is often found in the lo-fi music that used to use the Indonesian language. Indonesian is not standard, which makes me amazed because you can not use it. Patak R & B Feel your hearts singer song, even if there are some baits that use English, hooks that speak Indonesian SUCKED sound catchy And NOT terout the English Rap section.

Similarly "Restless" with Gard and Ichu, R & B also became a stream that adorned this song. The ugly vibe is successfully presented through an upbeat tone game. The song that tells the story of the beauty of someone who turns into anxiety because the loved one chooses to be silent does not sound like a ridiculous 'cheap' song because the vocabulary in the lyrics matches the beat of the song. Other songs from "3AM in Jakarta" that discuss Indonesia is "Obsessed" and "Just You" and successfully proves that Emir Hermono is able to produce quality music using local language. Still, the work that goes into the 5 popular song list in the Spotify Emir Hermono account profile is a British moving song.

Music is music, no matter how the way it is delivered. It may be fond of each of the different individuals and there are some musicians who feel better able to use English. But proven, westernization has a better way to voice their inspiration and the standard and way of kind audience than music. Come on, can we all generate stereotypes about how the lyrics of a music should be sung and start enjoying music? No need to be embarrassed for being perverted by listening to songs in unusual language. Listening to Hip Hop songs that look Japanese will not detract from the cool image as an 'indie student' inside you.

If you can open yourself to music as a whole, what determines quality is music is a way of forming different words so you can hear and find stories that can be inserted in the work, not the language in the context of his work. Try to allow a mindset that is not always music that learns English is more cool than others to be accepted by your head. Want music that moves England, Indonesia, Japan, or Malaysia, all will be equally sweet to be heard kok. Come out of your comfort zone, because good music will always be good music!
