Soundtrack

While working on the documentary All Access to Rossa: 25 Shining Years, Rossa also collaborated with Ariel of Noah to contribute to the soundtrack. Together with Rossa, Ariel will re-record the song "Nada-Nada Cinta," written by Younky Soewarno and Maryati, which launched Rossa's career in the Indonesian music industry in 1996. This single will be released on August 8, 2024, on all digital music platforms.^[19][20][21]

Rossa recalls sweet memories of the first time she recorded this song. "When I recorded this song in the studio, honestly, it made me flashback to the first time Younky Soewarno directed. I can't believe it's been 28 years since I sang this song, and now I'm re-releasing it for a documentary on my career journey. It feels truly extraordinary to me," she said. This song was the final track recorded for her debut album of the same title and sold more than 750,000 copies. This success underscores the enduring appeal and relevance of the song, which continues to resonate with audiences today.^[22]

According to Ariel, Rossa is currently the most accomplished female singer in terms of experience. Ariel expressed his enthusiasm, saying, "There is no doubt about Rossa's talent, even though it took us eight attempts to find a suitable arrangement to make the song sound fresher."^[23]
