Syamel is making waves in the music scene with the release of his latest single, “Hamba Cinta,” which dropped on August 16th. This new track, infused with rhythmic jazz pop, showcases a fresh direction in his musical journey, marking a significant departure from his usual style.
The release of “Hamba Cinta” has already received a warm response from fans, which Syamel sees as confirmation that he’s on the right path. He aims to offer something unique and prove that music is a limitless art form, encouraging both himself and others to explore new creative avenues.
“As a singer, I crave variety in my performances,” Syamel shared. “Listeners want to enjoy different genres, and I don’t want to confine myself to slow-tempo songs or ballads. Diversity is crucial in music. I hope people will continue to enjoy ‘Hamba Cinta’ in the future.”
The song’s lyrics tell a poignant story of love, sacrifice, betrayal, and shattered trust—common themes in many relationships. Ultimately, it’s about breaking free from the chains of love that no longer serve you.
Collaborating with Yusuff Khan, Adam Armi, and Adly Kiddy, Syamel made numerous adjustments to the song, resulting in a piece that underwent the most changes in musical arrangement before entering the recording studio. This meticulous approach ensured that the final product met the high standards of everyone involved, culminating in a compelling music video (MV) that adds another layer of depth to the song.
Syamel took a bold step by working with a new team for the MV production, incorporating secret codes and hidden messages to ensure the song’s intended meaning resonates with the audience. “Hamba Cinta” is more than just a single—it’s the beginning of a new chapter in Syamel’s artistic evolution.
He and Warner Music Malaysia are already planning a full album that will showcase his versatility across various genres, including pop rock, R&B, jazz pop, and of course, the ballads that have been a staple in his career since its inception. This album, set to release next year, reflects Syamel’s growth and readiness to explore new artistic dimensions.
Syamel is also focused on gathering new material for the album, emphasizing that he doesn’t want to rush the process. “I’m happy because the recording company has given me the creative freedom to experiment, and I’m excited to introduce many new elements that will satisfy fans,” he added.
Even as he experiments with new sounds, Syamel remains committed to the ballads that have defined his career. However, he’s also embraced the current trends by creating a dangdut version of “Hamba Cinta” inspired by popular TikTok trends. This version, though not yet officially released, offers a fresh take on the song, allowing fans to enjoy it in a whole new way.
Syamel is also planning a solo concert as a token of appreciation for his loyal fans who have supported him throughout his journey.
“Hamba Cinta” is now available on all major digital platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, KKBox, Deezer, and YouTube Music, with the music video accessible on Warner Music Malaysia’s YouTube channel.
