Meet Mulan Jameela

Mulan Jameela

She’s Indonesia’s own homegrown talent who wowed Asia with her hit song, Makhluk Tuhan Yang Paling Sexy. So to the rest of you who don’t understand Bahasa, what does that song title mean? In English, it simply says God’s sexiest creature/being and a sexy being is exactly what Ms Jameela portrays in her video.

When I first heard this song (honestly it was a few months back), it was on the radio, at the back of a 4 wheel drive, as we headed for a jetty. I was far away from home on an adventures assignment that my ‘Heroes’ (Hiro Nakamura to be precise) worshiping manager had put me on. Now I hope you paid attention and noticed that I specifically mentioned ’4wheel drive’ because that has everything to do with why I’m about to confess I thought I was hearing ‘Britney Spears’ and her new song.

I was headed for a pretty secluded area (think national geographic adventure) where the roads could only be accessed by the 4W drives and the end destination required boats. Do you now get a picture of the surrounding terrain condition? Don’t get me wrong, it’s one of the best rides of my life but it made me think I was listening to Britney.
I wasn’t quite able to make out at first listen, just what language the song was in…I could only catch that it had this addictive racy pop beat that sounded like a Britney Spears song and the distinctive tone of her voice…it really sounds like Britney.

It was played a lot on the radio so after the 3rd time I heard it- which was also in the 4w drive but this time back in civilization and almost at the hotel, I realised it was in Indonesian and the DJ had announced the singer as Mulan Jameela.

The video on You Tube: (there’s a bit of talking at the start of the video because they’re introducing the video):

I know most of you won’t be able to understand what she’s singing but trust me, you’re going to love it anyways because that’s what good music does. It transcends language barriers. Music itself is an international language.
