ALYPH, a rapper and singer from Singapore whose track ‘SWIPE’ achieved viral success, has released a new single titled, ‘Dari Jauh’. This song, which was released via Def Jam Indonesia and Def Jam Southeast Asia, was produced directly in Indonesia. In this release, ALYPH embraces the smooth sounds of slow R‘n’B, marking a notable shift from the pronounced hip-hop influences featured in his earlier releases, ‘SWIPE’, ‘CHECK’ and ‘HEAT’.
‘Dari Jauh’ is a poignant breakup anthem born from the depths of personal reflection. Drawing inspiration from the universal truth of taking things for granted until they’re gone, this single resonates with raw honesty and heartfelt sincerity. Crafted collaboratively, the song emerged from a serendipitous blend of soulful chord progressions by Kenny Gabriel and spontaneous lyrical improvisation by Teddy Adhitya, capturing the essence of longing and regret in its very inception. Embracing a romantic musical style, “Dari Jauh” exudes warmth and tenderness, inviting listeners to immerse themselves in its bittersweet melodies.
“So, the inspiration for this song comes from us who are always not grateful for what we have until something changes,” said ALYPH about the single. “I knew I wanted to make something romantic, feel romantic, and this is the result.”
The accompanying music video takes a light-hearted approach, depicting the playful yet poignant tale of two lovers separated by circumstance, offering viewers the chance to interpret the song through their own lens of personal experiences. Shot in Jakarta with a talented ensemble of musicians, ALYPH hopes for listeners to connect deeply and authentically with the emotions conveyed, ‘Dari Jauh’ is more than just a song — it’s a timeless reminder to cherish what truly matters in life.
