KUALA LUMPUR, April 27 (Bernama) -- Ong Peng Chu, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of OnMuse Music, alongside Executive Producer, Aesos Lai, has collaborated with a well-known Indonesian music producer and composer, Chossy Pratama, to compose and release Jeryl Lee's first-ever English single entitled 'Respect 1,000,0000' that premieres on Sunday, 26th April 2020. The song that was released on YouTube was created to honour and pay tribute to frontliners that have placed their lives on the line to curb the pandemic.
With an astounding recovery rate of more than 60% (3,862/5,780 recovered cases), Malaysia has become a symbol of hope for many countries in the Asia-Pacific; this was made possible by the co-operation of Malaysian Citizens during the quarantine and the enthusiastic efforts of front-line workers to suppress this epidemic.
The ASEAN Collaborated team was moved by the efforts of medical front line workers such as doctors, nurses, and healthcare workers. They have been working tirelessly to fight this epidemic and should be highly commended for it. These producers and artists dedicated three full days to produce, compose, and record the 'Respect 1,000,0000' song from home.
Ong Peng Chu said, "On behalf of everyone, we would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to the brave front liners. Not all superheroes wear capes, our love and heartfelt gratitude go out to all the superheroes risking their lives battling against the virus."
"We hope to leave a lasting impact on listeners everywhere with our sincerely written lyrics. I want to invite everyone to join hands in showing our support for frontliners through this inspiring song," added Aesos Lai.
International superstar, Jeryl Lee, (supposed participant of MIDEM Music Festival 2020 in Cannes, France that was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic) who took China by storm with her angelic voice at the Chinese singing competition 'Sing! China' back in 2016, has lent her alluring voice to deliver an inspiring number. As Jeryl Lee is seen singing the song in the music video, she executes it with real emotions and has stolen the hearts of many with her heaven-sent voice.
Jeryl Lee expresses her pride towards her country by saying, "I am so proud of my beloved Malaysia, as we have risen above the pandemic with staggering numbers of cured cases.
I am truly honoured to be given this opportunity to sing this beautiful piece that is accompanied by heartfelt lyrics, and I do hope that people in the ASEAN region will join forces as one, to acknowledge and value the sacrifices of our frontliners," she added.
Chossy Pratama mentioned that the collaboration between the Malaysian Producers and Indonesian Producer was intended to inspire citizens of the Asia-Pacific to express their gratitude towards frontliners while putting cultural differences aside.
"The song was named 'Respect 1,000,0000' as a metaphor. 1 Million is to most people an achievable milestone; to others, it is a sign of abundance. There is no doubt that there isn't a number to signify how much we appreciate the efforts of our frontliners, but for now, let us present it as a Million.
As people of musical background, this is the best way we can express our gratitude. We urge everyone to show their appreciation towards frontliners, even by sharing 'Respect 1,000,0000' song it would contribute to notifying frontliners that we are keeping them in our hearts." Chossy Pratama concluded.
