Weird Genius - Lathi (ft. Sara Fajira) Official Audio

OUT NOW! Stream on digital stores worldwide.

Reza Oktovian, Eka Gustiwana, Gerald Liu; the three now known as Weird Genius started making music together in year 2016. Each used to work on their own projects. Soon as the merge, they transmit everything they excel at into this collaborative venture. They draw inspirations from everywhere; what is coming out of love to life, social to gaming. The group self-describe their music as hard, upbeat, pumping, crazy-drop. This sound style is something they consciously develop since the beginning.

Launching the first digital single in 2020, Weird Genius joins singer and rapper from Surabaya, Sara Fajira. The latest single titled 'LATHI' is available via download and streaming on all digital music platforms starting February 28, 2020.

Staying on the electronic dance music track, they played a pumping beat entry that could not be separated from the main characteristic of Weird Genius, which is to combine traditional elements in every music. This time the Javanese culture was very thick even from the first note of the song to the end, plus a bridge using Javanese lyrics that was sung with the style of sinden by Sara.

"The producing & recording process is quite fast, approximately one month. The lyrics are inspired by personal experiences that many couples might have experienced and were written by Weird Genius with Sara Fajira. Musically, we balance EDM and modern English with traditional culture from Javanese instruments and lyrics, "explained Weird Genius.

The lyrics of this English song speak of a love relationship full of lies and egos that 'says' love but only hurts. Despite emphasizing the dark side of the relationship, upbeat music and honest lyrics bring the implied meaning of courage and a strong stand in the face of 'a toxic relationship'. Described in a piece of Javanese lyrics "Kowe ra iso mlayu saka kesalahan. Ajining diri ana ing lathi", meaning "You cannot run away from mistakes. A person's self-esteem is on the tongue (his words)", taken from the old Javanese proverb "Ajining soko lathi, ajining rogo soko busono."

LYRICS

I was born a fool
Broken all the rules
Seeing all null
Denying all of the truth

Everything has changed
It all happened for a reason
Down from the first stage
It isn’t something we fought for

Never wanted this kind of pain
Turned myself so cold and heartless
But one thing you should know

(Bahasa Jawa)
‘Kowe ra iso mlayu saka kesalahan
Ajining diri ana ing lathi’

Pushing through the countless pain
And all I know that this love’s a bless and curse

Ketika DAVID GUETTA bisa menciptakan lagu untuk soundtrack UEFA EURO FRANCE 2016 (Kejuaraan Sepakbola Eropa) yang berjudul
"This One's For You" dan menjadi bintang tamu saat Opening Ceremony di negaranya sendiri, mengapa tidak dengan WEIRD GENIUS dan ALFFY REV untuk sama-sama berkolaborasi menciptakan karya lagu EDM dengan nuansa karakteristik budaya Indonesia untuk soundtrack lagu FIFA WORLD CUP U-20 tahun 2021 nanti di Indonesia sekaligus menjadi bintang tamu di acara opening ceremony di negaranya sendiri.
Gue yakin puluhan ribu penonton di dalam stadion GBK Jakarta pasti bakal bergemuruh saat opening nanti karena yang menyaksikan bukan cuma warga Indonesia, tapi juga para supporter sepakbola negara-negara di seluruh dunia

Yang setuju, UP ! ☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️

Lyrics: Weird Genius - Lathi (ꦭꦛꦶ) feat. Sara Fajira

I was born a fool
Broken all the rules, ooh
Seeing all null
Denying all of the truth, ooh

Everything has changed
It all happened for a reason
Down from the first stage
It isn't something we fought for
Never wanted this kind of pain
Turned myself so cold and heartless
But one thing you should know

(Kowe ra iso mlayu saka kesalahan
Ajining diri ana ing lathi)

Pushing through the countless pain
And all I know that this love's a bless and curse

Everything has changed
It all happened for a reason
Down from the first stage
It isn't something we fought for
Never wanted this kind of pain
Turned myself so cold and heartless
But one thing you should know

(Kowe ra iso mlayu saka kesalahan
Ajining diri ana ing lathi)

Biasanya ya... Kalo budaya lokal di kolaborasiin sama edm itu hasilnya gaada yang layak denger (my opinion) kebanyakan kampungan dan lebay cth : dj gagak trus ditambah lagu lagu dangdut, stress gw dengernya. TAPI, ini satu satunya lagu enak yang merupakan hasil perpaduan budaya jawa sama edm, great job guys...

[rezakirunTM]

jawa go internasional jadi kangen lord god father of broken heart didi kempot 😭

"Kowe ora iso mlayu saka kesalahan, ajining diri ana ing lathi"
"KAMU TIDAK BISA LARI DARI KESALAHAN, HARGA DIRI SESEORANG BERASAL DARI UCAPAN-NYA"

Gw Kira Awalnya Lagu Ini Lagu Barat, ...Eh Ternyata Lagu Indonesia Semangat Berkarya Boskuu

[imnotningning]

I'm crying because it's a bop, Indonesian pls don't sleep with this masterpiece

[aulyaafp]

ini ni cara memperkenalkan musik tradisional dengan aransemen yang modern, tanpa melupakan budaya Indonesia sendiri, membuat pendengarnya kembali merasakan bahwa "ini loh budaya Indonesia". perpaduan dengan bahasa jawa dan musik jawa dengan modern, ini membuktikan bahwa karya yang bagus bukan melulu soal lirik full inggris. Ah ga heran sih njingg, ini emg ciri khas, karakter Weird Genius dari dulu 🔥♥️♥️

[viendro]

Disaat orang jawa ke barat-baratan, WG mengkolaborasi dimana budaya barat dipadukan dalam bentuk kesenian musik mengandung unsur "Jawa" dengan isilah-istilah "jawa" tersebut. RISPEK!

[yeonaa]

Speechless, , , ga paham lagi. Ini bisa jadi song of the year asli. Bener2 jenius ngegabungin tiap komponen yang ada di lagu ini. Mulai dari gamelan+edm. Terus dari lirik lagu inggris+jawa, udah gitu liriknya ngena walaupun simple😭😭🔥🔥🔥🔥

[YanSiuuuuu]

"Kamu nggak bisa lari dari kesalahan, kehormatan diri terdapat di ucapan mulut mu"

Ora WG Ora GG

[rizalsubakti]

Ciri khas weird genius, genre EDM termasuk modern music but masih terus mengangkat budaya, dan sejarah di negeri ini.. take ma fully respect weirdos 🍺

[lifeofuqi]
