The multi-talented Kael returns with his fourth single 'Angkasa', and he's aiming for the 'sky' with his new venture under Alternate Records
The immensely talented singer, Kael, returns to colour the local music industry with his fourth single with Alternate Records entitled "Angkasa" , a touching modern pop ballad, the result of a creative collaboration with renowned composer Omar K and talented music producer, Iqie Hugh. "Angkasa " is not just a love song, but an emotional manifestation of two souls who love but are separated by different realities, like day and night sharing the same sky. Inspired by the concept of love between two worlds, " Angkasa " encompasses themes of loyalty, hope and beauty in imperfection. "The main message of this song is about believing in true love even in less-than-ideal situations. If the love is sincere and strong, they remain emotionally and spiritually united in the same "Angkasa (space), " explained Omar K, who also created the beautiful and poetic melody of this song with Kael and Iqie Hugh. " The uniqueness of " Angkasa " lies in its minimal yet emotionally charged musical arrangement, allowing Kael's vocals to shine through with full nuance. Its unconventional melody – soft yet powerful, sad yet hopeful, adds a dramatic cinematic and atmospheric element. " With a modern pop ballad genre combined with minimal and atmospheric electronic elements, " Angkasa " gives an 'openness' feel that symbolizes emotional freedom in the vast sk y," added Omar. Kael, who was also fully involved in the writing, composition, and visual development for " Angkasa " , expressed his feelings of emotion. 'This song is very personal. It highlights my most authentic side. One of the challenges was finding the right words from my heart and shaping them into a poetic and meaningful melody , ' said Kael. "To me, " Angkasa " is one of the romantic love songs of this era, produced to touch the hearts of the listeners. 'Romance cannot be faked. I dedicate this song to all couples, friends and lovers. It is suitable to be played at weddings, anniversaries, special events, or just to express how much we appreciate someone we love.' The pro duction of the song took around three months, including writing, arranging music and recording vocals. Kael's main vocal recording session only took one day, the result of excellent collaboration between the artist and the producer s, said Omar . Omar K acknowledged Kael as a very professional artist, prepared and highly enthusiastic when in the studio , and Kael is now hoping that the "Angkasa" song will mark a big step in his career . "I hope this song becomes many people's favourite. I am also hoping that " Angkasa " can penetrate neighbo u ring countries and bring the name of Malaysian art to a higher level," said Kael, who also thanked the Alternate Records and the composers for their brilliant help in making the single. The single 'Angkasa' is now available on all digital streaming platforms such as YouTube Music and Spotify.
