Kuala Lumpur, Oct 12: In collaboration with Leo Burnett Malaysia, McCafe Malaysia proudly introduces “Vibe Kopi Susu,” a remarkable musical collaboration that melds the timeless vocals of Malaysian legend Saloma with the contemporary artistry of Malaysian rap sensation SonaOne and the melodious charm of singer, actress, and artist Daiyan Trisha.
“Vibe Kopi Susu” reimagines the beloved Saloma classic, “Kopi Susu,” with a fresh and innovative twist. This iconic track is reborn, featuring reimagined instrumentation tailored to the modern Malaysian audience.
The song is masterfully crafted by the multi-talented SonaOne, who serves as both the co-writer and producer.
Neil Hudspeth, CEO of Publicis Groupe Malaysia and Global Client Leader – Asia Pacific, expressed, “As new generations emerge and preferences continue to evolve, one thing you can be sure of is that all Malaysians love their ‘Kopi Susu’ any time of the day, whether it is for breakfast, tea or during a late-night snack.
McDonald’s is an iconic brand that lives in and often leads culture, so with this song, we wanted to give Malaysians the chance to reminisce the nostalgic and iconic Malay tune from the early post-independence era.
We are excited to launch this song together with McCafe and hope it will remind Malaysians of the go-to place for their daily quality coffee fix any day, anytime, anywhere.”
This exceptional collaboration celebrates Malaysia’s rich cultural heritage while embracing innovation. “Vibe Kopi Susu” takes listeners on a captivating journey, bridging the gap between traditional and contemporary sounds.
SonaOne, one of the artists behind the project, shared, “We wanted to create a melody that was fresh and relevant to today’s ears, while still paying tribute to the nuances of Saloma’s music.”
“The inspiration was right there – Kopi Susu is a well-loved Malaysian drink for generations, and McCafe’s touch adds a whole new vibe, a new ‘rasa’ that is both timeless and current.
The song is essentially that – a rich blend of classic and modern tastes,” SonaOne added.
Available for streaming on major music platforms, including YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Music, “Vibe Kopi Susu” is now accessible to fans and music enthusiasts, offering a unique fusion of musical talent. This release marks another step in McCafe’s journey to bring great coffee, culture, experiences, and stories to Malaysians from all walks of life, encapsulated in the theme, “Setiap Rasa, McCafe Ada.
