Sheila on 7 - Melompat Lebih Tinggi

Track Review
Released : 2003
Download It (5Mb)

Sheila on 7 are currently number 1 on my top artists chart on Audioscrobbler on the strength of one album. These guys sing in indonesian. No english, get over it.

This song was included in the soundtrack to the 2004 romantic comedy 30 Hari Mencari Cinta (Roughly "30 days looking for love"). The movie was a hit, the song was as well. Roughly translated "Melompat Lebih Tinggi" means "Jump Even Higher", the song is your typical sappy "before time seperates our love, our hearts will beat together, you make my fly higher stuff" (emo?) but wrapped up in a tasty deep fried rock shell.

Tracknumber 1 on the album and the boys waste no time muckin about. Great chugging powerchord verses leading into an awesome build up / drop away chorus that'll get your head nodding despite the no english thing. They even sneak in a solo that won't make you cringe.

Just remember to nod your head to "Ku Per-tik Bintang" *rock chug* and you'll be set.

8/10

  • I was bored the other night so i thought i'd give this one a go. I was surprised. It's an uplifting track that gets me going in the morning when i get out of bed at 11.

    The best part is, if they're singing about emo crap i can't understand it.

    7/10

    Bez.
