After opening a new chapter of LSIH (Lalahuta Sings Indonesian Hits) with “Hebat,” Lalahuta continues to develop the project.
The band now presents a fresh interpretation of “Cobalah Untuk Setia.”
Written by Rieka Roeslan and popularized by Krisdayanti, the song receives a new perspective while remaining connected to the spirit of LSIH.
The release is part of Lalahuta’s effort to celebrate important works in Indonesian music.
Through the project, the band also aims to introduce these songs to a broader generation of listeners.
Lalahuta Highlights the Timeless Story Behind the Song
Lalahuta selects songs for LSIH based on more than their status as past hits.
Each song also needs to carry a story that remains relevant across generations.
“Cobalah Untuk Setia” fits that approach through its themes of commitment, trust, and perseverance.
These ideas continue to resonate with many people today, allowing the song to remain relevant beyond its original era.
Rather than reproducing the original song in its entirety, Lalahuta approaches it through the musical identity they have developed over the years.
The band combines pop rock with orchestral elements to create a more cinematic dynamic.
However, the new arrangement still preserves the emotional strength that has long defined the original composition.

A Collaborative Production Behind the New Version
The production once again brings Lalahuta together with Mecko Kaunang as producer and Boni Eko as co-producer.
The arrangement gains additional emotional depth through string performances by Ronald Stevens.
Meanwhile, Rayendra Sunito handles the mixing and mastering, while Mohammed Kamga serves as Vocal Director.
For Lalahuta, the production process also reinforces the idea behind LSIH.
The band sees these songs as works that can continue to grow alongside their listeners while telling stories that remain relevant today.
Through LSIH, Lalahuta aims to create a space where Indonesian songs can find new life without losing their original identity.
Each release contributes to the same broader journey.
The project celebrates the songwriters behind these works, honors songs that have become part of people’s lives, and helps keep their stories alive for new generations.
Preparing Another LSIH Collaboration
The journey will continue beyond “Cobalah Untuk Setia.” Lalahuta has revealed that one more release will complete LSIH Part II.
The upcoming track will feature a collaboration with a prominent Indonesian DJ and music producer whose identity remains undisclosed.
The project will give Lalahuta an opportunity to explore a different musical approach while maintaining the essence of the song at the heart of LSIH.
With three interconnected releases, LSIH Part II is scheduled to arrive in full later this year. It will continue the journey that began with LSIH Part I in 2024.
For Lalahuta, the project represents more than a series of reinterpretations.
It is a long-term commitment to celebrating Indonesian songwriters while bringing their works back to the attention of today’s listeners.
