Renowned songstress and local legend Misha Omar returns to the spotlight with "Break", a stirring and emotional new single that marks her first-ever collaboration with Indonesian music legend Melly Goeslaw.
At 43, and with over two decades of musical excellence under her belt, the three-time Anugerah Juara Lagu Best Vocalist breathes life into "Break", a beautifully crafted composition by Melly Goeslaw, with musical arrangement by celebrated producer Tohpati.
Though the title "Break" may suggest a pause, for Misha Omar, it symbolises the opposite — a bold reaffirmation of her commitment to creating timeless, quality music that resonates deeply with her audience.
“I’ve always dreamed of performing a song written by Melly,” Misha shares.
“So I took the leap and messaged her directly on social media. To my delight, she responded - and "Break" was born, written specifically for me.
"This collaboration is incredibly special and came at exactly the right moment in my journey.”
Recorded in Jakarta, "Break" is a testament to Misha’s meticulous approach to her craft. From vocal training sessions with Datuk Syafinaz Selamat to deep lyrical analysis, Misha ensured every note and phrase of the song conveyed heartfelt emotion.
“Before every new project, I undergo a thorough preparation process - vocal classes, emotional immersion, and lyrical study - so that I can fully deliver the song’s message,” she explains. “I hope "Break" will touch souls and leave a lasting impression.”
"Break" also adds another meaningful entry to her rich catalogue, following last year’s single "Masihkan Ada Rasa Itu". Yet beyond personal milestones, Misha sees this project as a celebration of the musical richness of the Nusantara region.
“This collaboration with an Indonesian composer is not about overshadowing local talent but rather broadening my horizons and embracing the beauty of regional musical diversity. I hope this inspires continued appreciation and support for our industry," said Misha
"Break" is available for streaming and download from Friday (June 20) on all major platforms including Apple Music, Spotify, and YouTube Music. It has aptly named teaser for the new song -- Don’t take a break— tune in to "Break"
