Music is the art of expressing yourself through sound. We’ve already know that there are some types of music, such as: blues, rap, country music, jazz, classical music, and rock and roll. Music comes up with new innovation. Music plays a vital role in our life. I think music is not just a thing for spending our time, it’s a miracle, created from the people for the people. The word ‘miracle’ means that music has the ability, to inspire you, to make you happy, or even to make you cry. It changes the people, their destiny, and thinking. If you look deep in your soul, you can realise that the music in some moments can become your best friend. It will always be beside you in happy and sad moments.
I will talk about music industry in Indonesia that going down.
1. Make the same melody/background, but different in the way they create lyric
Example:
- ‘Putri Bahar - Pusing Pala Barbie’ song is same as ‘Meghan Trainor - All about that Bass’.
Putri Bahar claimed that ‘Pusing Pala Barbie’ was their song. They said that the song was inspired by the exprerience of others. They added that they don’t know and have never heard about ‘All about that Bass’. The two songs was different only in the matter of genre; yeah ‘Pusing Pala Barbie’ is dangdut. In fact, there are many similiraties in ‘Pusing Pala Barbie’ and ‘All about that Bass’, namely they have the same tempo, the same progression, and the same basic tone. Although, music has only 7 notes, we can conclude that ‘Pusing Pala Barbie’ copied ‘All about that Bass’ because the same melody in a full song, I think Putri Bahar steal the property rights and telling lie in a public media that they don’t know about ‘All about that Bass”.
- ‘Virzha – Aku Lelakimu’ video is same as ‘Kiss – Because I’m a Girl’
As we know that Virzha has a strong character, high tone, energic, and more maskulin than the previous artist who popularized this song, such as Pongki and Anang Hermansyah. Then, ‘Aku Lelakimu’ become a favorite song at that time. But despite much favored by many people, ‘Aku Lelakimu’ video is same as ‘Kiss – Because I’m a Girl’, a story that tells women who are blind due to a car accident, and the man in the video donate his eyes to her. A very strong feeling, a very touching, actually it is a different song but the same presentation.
2. Easy to be a singer or make a song
Many people don’t like about ‘Kangen Band’, because they have ugly faces. Yeah, sad but true, I think when the artist create the song, we have to judge from their own songs, lyrics, musics or tones, no matter about face or another thing.
Example:
