A true reflection and better growth of Saif Adam

A Midnight Surprise

In a surprise move, Saif Adam launched his latest EP, City, ahead of his Umrah. Enclosed with five new tracks, this new album seems a touch more personal than his previous takes; a form of an autobiography, translated through music to his adoring listeners. Talking about his feelings, pains, and the need to change and be more positive, this album gives a special form of melancholy, added with a hint of cautious positivism. For this particular album, Saif co-produce City with Wali-ur Rahman, one of the founder of Awakening Records.

Track Review and Impressions

Dream
A much higher stress on his voice, clearer in this track than the rest, this song is a reflection on his opinion and story on believing in that fate that is set for us and the will to change. Mellowed voice for this song, it creates a soothing feel, akin to a father advising or a brother giving that much needed advice: stern, strong yet soft enough for us to take the blow face the challenge and move to be the better version of ourselves. The guitar note in this track serves more of a highlight, to stress on his words, which was then accompanied with the tunes of the piano, as if to signify the change from stern to advising, giving enough hope to go further.

Only Young
A much softer tunes accompanied with just dry strums of his guitar, Saif managed to conveyed the meanings and experiences that happens to some unlucky children: Being bullied. This particular approach managed to create the melancholy feel of how a person would react by the laughter and pickings aimed at themselves; unable to do nothing but to just cry. A much emotional music, stressed upon by the ensemble choice consisting of slow and sudden dry feel of the string instruments. A much sharper note with the hint of dynamism, Saif managed to convey the emotions that would have been felt by the young person.

City Lights
Cheerful and full of lights; This songs is complimented with the soft striking beats, lively violins and a whole ensemble illuminates us with how a city will look under its own light. This particular track is one of the well made and balanced song, for it uses what it needs to create the illusion that it wanted.

Change
With a more focused attention on his voice, and the rhythmic clap of hand claps, the tracks plays out the feel to change oneself. As the lyrics rhythmically with the words ‘Let it Go’, this song would automatically be one of the best song in this particular album. As one pays attention to transitions of the tones, one can imagine a roller coaster of emotions, from being a high positivism to doubtful self, the arrangement perfectly compliments this song, making it a favorite.

What Went Wrong
The main piece, the piano, are in tempo with his words. Describing on what is going on in this world, figuring out on how things went under, the piano tune was then accompanied by strings further bringing a more soothing yet sad tune, describing not of hate, but the despair of the singer; but even in all that, there was a hope in searching the solution, even if it was not described openly.

Selain Munif Hjjaz, seorang lagi figura yang aktif menghasilkan karya secara konsisten, tidak lain tidak bukan, penyanyi dan komposer terkenal; Daqmie.

Kali ini, Daqmie bekerjasama dengan Pertubuhan Kebajikan Islam Malaysia (PERKIM) Cawangan Datuk Keramat menghasilkan sebuah lagu raya terbaru berjudul Yang Mulia. Lagu ini disampaikan oleh Daqmie dan Mestica.

Pengerusi PERKIM Cawangan Datuk Keramat; Ustaz Mohamad Suhaimi Abdul Aziz yang juga merupakan penulis lirik, berkata lagu tersebut mengisahkan hubungan masyarakat dengan golongan mualaf di negara ini.

“Lagu tersebut dinyanyikan oleh Daqmie dan juga Kumpulan Mestica yang mengisahkan hubungan antara masyarakat dengan golongan mualaf.

“Ia sebagai salah satu usaha dakwah kami agar masyarakat turut sama terlibat dengan usaha yang kami gerakkan ini sekaligus membantu mereka yang memerlukan,” katanya ketika sidang akhbar yang diadakan di sini.

Menurutnya idea penghasilan single ini tercetus hasil perbincangan dengan Daqmie yang juga merupakan komposer bagi lagu tersebut.

“Selaku Duta Mualaf PERKIM Datuk Keramat, Daqmie pernah melontarkan idea agar usaha dakwah PERKIM tidak terlalu terikat dengan kaedah lama namun harus dipelbagai agar sesuai dengan zaman.

“Bermula dari situ maka terlahirlah lagu ini yang turut diterapkan dengan melodi kontemporari bagi menarik minat masyarakat khususnya generasi muda.

“Kami mengharapkan dengan kepakaran dan populariti Daqmie dan kumpulan Mestica dapat menarik minat lebih ramai anak muda dengan kerja dakwah yang aktif di platform digital dan media sosial,” ujarnya pula.

Terdahulu PERKIM Datuk Keramat meraikan golongan mualaf dengan mengadakan Majlis Berbuka Puasa sekaligus melancarkan single raya tersebut.

Sementara itu Daqmie ketika mengulas berkata cabaran utama ketika penghasilan lagu ini ialah kekangan masa sambil berharap single raya ini dapat diterima masyarakat.

“Antara cabaran ketika menghasilkan lagu ini ialah masa yang diberi agak suntuk. Ketika Ustaz (Suhaimi) maklumkan PERKIM mahu terbit lagu raya pada mulanya saya agak terkejut.

“Namun setelah berbincang dengan rakan-rakan kami akhirnya bersetuju menerima cabaran ini, alhamdulliah kerjasama yang diberikan semua pihak akhirnya single ini berjaya direalisasikan.

“Semoga lagu ini dapat diterima semua pihak sekaligus memeriahkan sambutan Aidilfitri pada tahun ini,” katanya pula.

Pemilihan kumpulan Mestica sebagai rakan duet dalam lagu ini dilihat mampu mengubat rindu dikalangan peminat Mestica yang sentiasa menantikan karya baharu dari kumpulan nasyid popular tersebut.

Lagu Yang Mulia telah berada di pasaran dan boleh distrim di semua platform penstriman muzik digital yang sah. Manakala video muzik Yang Mulia boleh ditonton di saluran Youtube Daqmie Channel.

Untuk rekod PERKIM merupakan organisasi yang aktif dengan kerja-kerja dakwah dan kebajikan untuk menyebarluaskan syiar Islam kepada golongan Islam dan belum Islam di negara ini.
