The Overtunes continue the rollout of their upcoming third album with their second single, “Makhluk Cahaya.”
After releasing “Sampai Kapan?” in May, The Overtunes return with another introspective single.
Brothers Mikha Angelo, Reuben Nathaniel, and Mada Emmanuelle explore themes of hope, resilience, and humanity.
This time, the trio collaborated with Nadin Amizah, who joined the songwriting process and contributed her vocals to the track.
Rather than telling a fictional story, “Makhluk Cahaya” reflects the personal values shared by all five songwriters.
The lyrics encourage listeners to keep believing in hope, even after experiencing repeated setbacks.
The band describes the song as a reminder that everyone has the ability to bring light and kindness to others.
Although the message sounds simple, The Overtunes acknowledge that living by those values is not always easy.
They believe maturity comes from continuing to hold on to hope despite life’s challenges, especially at a time when many people feel discouraged.
The group also hopes listeners see the song as a source of genuine encouragement rather than empty optimism.

The Overtunes Build an Emotional Musical Journey
“Makhluk Cahaya” took time to complete because its theme required deep personal reflection.
The song eventually came together through the shared experiences of its five writers, each contributing a different perspective.
The arrangement also strengthens the story. It begins with a solitary guitar that reflects the protagonist’s quiet thoughts.
As hope gradually returns, the music expands with layered percussion and choir harmonies that reinforce the song’s uplifting message.
Later, the arrangement becomes softer as Nadin Amizah delivers a gentle vocal section that reflects making peace with one’s inner self.
By the end of the song, the lyrics shift from focusing on human limitations to embracing humanity as a source of strength and hope.
The Overtunes believe “Makhluk Cahaya” represents who they are as musicians today.
Beyond creating a song that people can sing, they hope its message inspires listeners to spread more love, compassion, and hope to those around them.
The band will continue introducing more music from their third album later this year.
Fans can expect additional songs that celebrate life, encourage self-reflection, and inspire people to embrace every moment with purpose.
