Guess what?: Geisha writes sad songs for comedy

R

iau-based pop rock band Geisha has expended its musical portfolio into soundtrack composing. The five-head band created two songs for Single, the new film of comedian Raditya Dika.

'€œWe were confused at first, because the producer requested serious, mellow songs instead of fun, upbeat songs for a comedy,'€ said drummer Aan as reported by kapanlagi.com on Monday.

Vocalist Momo said the group was proud to be chosen by producer Sunil Soraya. '€œIt'€™s a great opportunity to be involved in the film. It'€™s very challenging, especially because the producer was meticulous about the soundtracks,'€ she said.

The songs, titled '€œSementara Sendiri'€ ('€œAlone for Now'€) and '€œLagu Cinta'€ ('€œLove Song'€) were written by guitarist Roby Satria, who currently faces an investigation related to drugs abuse.

Single, written and co-directed by Raditya Dika, tells the story of Ebi, who finds it hard to talk to girls and therefore has never had a relationship, until he meets girl-next-door Angel. The film is to be released on Dec. 17.
