NIKI Curhat Kangen Indonesia di Lagu Baru Split

Penyanyi asal Indonesia Niki Zefanya alias NIKI baru saja melepas lagu baru berjudul Split.

Diproduksi bersama Jacob Ray dan Bekon & The Donuts, Split mewakilkan perasaan dan tekanan NIKI yang harus selalu beradaptasi dengan situasinya di perantauan.

Lagu slowburn retro yang menghadirkan suara serak manis NIKI ini, juga mengisahkan pengalaman cewek 22 tahun tersebut yang merasa terbelah antara dua dunia dan dua rumah.

"Aku menulisnya karena rasanya harus terus-menerus membagi diriku serta beradaptasi antara Indonesia dan Los Angeles," katanya.

"Ini lagu tentang rumah dan identitasku, atau mungkin perjuanganku untuk mencari keduanya. Split sangat personal. Aku harap kalian suka," lanjut NIKI.

Disutradarai Sean Matsuyama, video klip Split memperlihatkan NIKI di kursi belakang mobil tua Chevy Nova Wagon dan merasa rindu akan rumah.

NIKI juga menampilkan foto masa kecil, foto bersama keluarganya, dan potongan video yang memperlihatkan suasana Indonesia di video klip Split.

Dalam album juga akan terdapat lagu The Weekend dari Bibi dan Don't Go Changin dai Ylona Garcia.

Lirik Lagu Split dari NIKI

It's a West Coast winter, sun's still a furnace

So I keep tanning, just never on purpose

I'm saturated in equal parts sun and doubt

So I turn the fan on high and hope I sweat it out

[Verse 2]

Christmas is coming, I miss my mama

Well, least I got my daddy, but he's in Jakarta

And there, it's raining, while here, it's dry as bone

Kinda wish I knew what I meant when I'd say, "I miss home"

[Chorus]

Guess I'm forever caught between two worlds

Right foot rock, left foot hard place, head and heart at war

I do my best between addresses

Wish I were on either side of the forеign wall

Oh, always part of me missing, but no one sees a differеnce

'Cause I split them all (Ooh, ooh)

[Verse 3]

Spread so thin, I'm low on emotional bandwidth

The voice in my head speaks a different language

And where I live, they believe you only have yourself

But where I'm from, you're taught to be somebody else

So hellos are short, goodbyes are only half farewells

[Chorus]

Oh, I guess I'm forever caught between two worlds

Right foot rock, left foot hard place, head and heart at war

I do my best between addresses

Wish I were on either side of the foreign wall

Always part of me missing

But no one sees the difference

'Cause I split them all
