She described "Aku Bukan Malaikat" as a song specially for "sentimental women" like herself. She requested for a new song from the Indonesian singer/composer when they were both involved in "Konsert Rapatkan Saf" back in October 2016. "Aku Bukan Malaikat" is composed and produced by Opick. The last song to be recorded for SimetriSiti was "Aku Bukan Malaikat" (I'm Not an Angel) which was recorded on 6 April 2017. Produced by Ade Govinda and Jeje Govinda, she recorded the song on 16 March 2017. To record the vocals for "Tak Perlu Ragu" (No Need to Doubt) however, she did travel to Indonesia. Although she originally planned to fly to Indonesia to record "Kisah Ku Inginkan" in March 2017, she later recorded the song in Malaysia with Yasin Sulaiman as her vocal producer. The idea for the collaboration began when both Siti and Judika performed together at 2014 Anugerah Planet Muzik. He is also responsible for the duet "Kisah Ku Inginkan" (The Story that I Want) with another Indonesian singer, Judika. Ivan Lahardika, an Indonesian musician, produced two songs for the album, including "Segala Perasaan" (All of My Feelings), the album's first single. Īpart from employing local Malaysian talents, Siti also sourced musicians and artists from Indonesia to contribute to the materials in SimetriSiti. The lyrics for "Penghiburku" on the other hand, were composed by Siti on the day of recording itself. I immediately recorded the melody with my phone and sent it to Aubrey to be produced." When she submitted the demo to Sze Wan, she suggested to Siti that some rapping to be included in the upbeat song which led to the involvement of Joe Flizzow to provide the additional verses. She recalled the moment, " didn't expect for "Penghiburku"'s melody to strike mind when I was accompanying step daughter-in-law. The inspiration for the music came to her when she was visiting her step daughter-in-law, Tya Arifin who was in labor in March 2017. Before composing the song, she had a rough time in composing a complete tune. A last minute idea, she decided to pen and compose a song specially dedicated to her fans, "Penghiburku" (My Entertainers). However the idea was scrapped leaving her with one track less. She commented, "Initially, I felt as if I was not ready to record my first and second songs, but, thankfully, when listening to the pieces again, I found that the songs presented a different side of my vocals." ĭuring the early stages of the album planning in January 2017, she revealed that one song from the album will be recorded in Mandarin. However, with proper training from her vocal teacher, she was able to complete the recordings in the stipulated time. At early stages of the recording, she admitted that she had difficulty in singing some of the songs due to poor health. Joe Flizzow ( left) and Judika ( right) served as a featuring artist and duet partner respectively for SimetriSiti.Īlthough originally scheduled for March 2017 release, the recording process for the album only began early March 2017. The total album production cost for SimetriSiti is cited to be roughly RM 100 000. To prevent bias during the song selection, it was done without prior knowledge of the composers' identity. The best 10 songs were chosen based on votes by her, her management, and her recording company. For the first four months, she had to attend few listening sessions several times before choosing the best 10 songs. The whole process, from vetting and finalizing the song candidates to recording the entire album took her and her team five months to finish. But, I still prioritize good and mature song arrangement quality." She commented on her song choices as, "I am not too picky new or old composers, what is more important is that their songs have to be easy to be accepted and catchy. Until November 2016, she has received more than 300 song submissions, including from Indonesian songwriters.
She also requested a number of Malaysian and Indonesian artists to provide songs to her, including Hazami and Opick. In November 2016, she revealed that prior to her 3-week holiday trip, she requested Aubrey Suwito to make an announcement on his Facebook page in search of new songs for her latest album. Siti Nurhaliza on recording SimetriSiti Even until today (March 2017), there are still musicians who sent their songs and I really appreciate their effort." From 300 songs that were submitted, I only choose the best 10 songs that fit with the concept of the album. " Alhamdulillah, the responses were great.
