Iconic Zain Bhikha who has won the hearts of Muslims throughout the word for three decades of song, story and the Dada and Me children’s series, releases a deeply personal song after many years. “I’m Not Ready To Let You Go” is an emotionally moving tribute to his beloved father Rashid Bhikha, a man who embodied faith, strength, unwavering love for his family, and left his mark on the world for his contribution to medicine and humanity.

Zain’s songs have always been a reflection of his personal life’s journey reflecting his faith, but more so, the meandering nature of being human, and this one is no different. Though the nature of its message speaks to the universal feelings of love and loss that we can all relate to. With hundreds of songs inspiring and motivating hearts towards Allah, “I’m Not Ready To Let You Go” is undoubtedly going to become a comfort and a favourite of Zain Bhikha fans.

“My father passed away a few months ago, he was the anchor that held us all together, the mountain upon which we all stand and the guiding light that showed us the way, I miss him every day,” said Zain Bhikha.

I’m Not Ready To Let You Go is available as a voice-only version. The official video is available on the ZainBhikhaOfficial YouTube channel and the audio, on all major music streaming platforms.

Kata teman saya dari Indonesia, Opick itu sangat sinonim dan dekat dengan bulan Ramadan. Apabila lagu Opick sudah mula dimainkan di radio, itu tandanya kita sudah menghampiri bulan penuh keberkatan, bulan Ramadan al-Mubarak.

Tahun ini, penyanyi religi tersohor Indonesia ini muncul dengan karya terbaru beliau berjudul Tersenyumlah.

Tersenyumlah merupakan sebuah lagu berkonsepkan ‘healing’ yang mengajak pendengar untuk terus kekal istiqomah di jalan yang diredhai Allah walau apa jua masalah yang sedang dihadapi.

Menerusi lagu ini, Opick seakan sedang berbicara dengan pendengar bahawa seberapa besar pun masalah yang menimpa, yakinlah ia akan berlalu pergi dan hari indah sedang menantimu. Ini dapat dilihat melalui bait-bait lirik yang indah dalam lagu ini yang sangat mengesankan:

Seperti duka yang pasti berlalu
Seperti malam ‘kan pergi
Seperti tangismu yang pasti terhenti
Tersenyumlah jangan menyerah

Lagu ini disusun kemas dengan melodi pop yang indah dan lirik yang sederhana namun sarat dengan makna.

“Tersenyumlah” sudah mula berada di seluruh platform penstriman muzik digital. Manakala muzik video Tersenyumlah akan diluncurkan pada 15 Mac 2024 di saluran Youtube Aquarius Musikindo.

Bagi pihak PT Aquarius Musikindo, mereka berharap agar lagu baharu Opick ini dapat menjadi halwa telinga buat para pendengar dan mengubati luka-luka yang ada agar Ramadan ini akan jadi lebih bermakna buat kita semua.

“Besar harapan kami, karya ini bisa menjadi peneduh hati setiap kita dan juga sebagai pengingat bahwa hidup akan terus berjalan, maka “Tersenyumlah”, Allah menemani dalam setiap langkah.”

“Tersenyumlah, karena tersenyum merupakan salah satu cara yang sederhana untuk menunjukkan bahwa kita selalu bersyukur kepada Allah SWT dalam situasi dan kondisi apapun.”
