Liputan6.com,
Jakarta - Tahun depan, genap 25 tahun Glenn Fredly berkarya di industri
musik. Karier Glenn Fredly dimulai pada 1995. Kala itu, Glenn Fredly yang
tergabung dalam Funk Section melahirkan hit besar “Terpesona.” Tiga tahun
kemudian, Glenn Fredly bergabung dengan Sony Music lalu melahirkan album solo
perdana.
Album itu memfiturkan hit
“Cukup Sudah” karya Yovie Widianto. Momen besar Glenn Fredly terjadi dua tahun
kemudian. Pada 2000, Glenn Fredly merilis
album Kembali dengan hit “Kasih Putih.”
Puncaknya, saat Glenn Fredly menulis balada patah hati
“Januari” dan “Sekali Ini Saja” untuk album Selamat
Pagi, Dunia! tahun 2003. Berkarier hampir seperempat abad, Glenn
Fredly menyebut fase terberat yang pernah dilaluinya. Menurutnya, setelah
“Januari” meledak, ia punya tugas berat.
“Bagian terberat adalah
menjaga ritme karier bersama tim di belakang saya. Tidak gampang karena tanpa
ritme dan perencanaan yang kuat, karier seorang musikus tak akan bertahan
lama,” ungkap Glenn Fredly.
Tak Merasa Bersaing
Selain itu,
Glenn Fredly menyadari fakta ia bukan satu-satunya solois pria di Indonesia.
Ada Marcell dan Rio Febrian di awal tahun 2000. Kini ada Afgan, Vidi Aldiano,
dan Rizky Febian.
“Saya tidak merasa bersaing
dengan solois lain. Dalam industri, sangat wajar jika para penyanyi menampilkan
yang terbaik dan berupaya melahirkan hit. Kalau ditanya soal bersaing dengan
Afgan, saya tidak berpikir demikian. Saya malah berpikir bikin kolaborasi untuk
menghidupkan industri musik,” ujar Glenn Fredly.
Regenerasi
Ditemui
seusai manggung di Prambanan Jazz Festival 2019 hari terakhir, Minggu
(7/7/2019) kemarin, Glenn menyebut regenerasi tak terhindarkan. Bahkan,
regenerasi sangat dibutuhkan berbagai industri termasuk musik.
“Ingat, dalam bermusik
regenerasi itu penting. (Dunia musik) tidak bisa dimonopoli oleh penyanyi itu
lagi dan itu lagi. Enggak bisa sebuah festival isinya lo lagi dan lo lagi. Nature-nya musik memang begitu,” tutup
Glenn Fredly di Yogyakarta. (Wayan
