Iman Fandi joins MICappella in singing Not Alone
Local group MICappella have released their cover version of the National Day theme song Not Alone.
The a cappella rendition of Not Alone – featuring Iman Fandi, Rai and Justin Misson – was shared on the group's YouTube channel on July 19.
The lyrics of Not Alone by singer-songwriter Benjamin Kheng are in line with this year’s National Day theme: Together, As One United People.
MICappella's version of the song weaves in lyrics in Malay, Mandarin and Tamil – a feature lauded by netizens.
Viewer Muhammad-fc9jc commented on the YouTube video: "Great show on how united Singapore is. One country, four languages, one heart."
"Every year, many singers or groups cover the National Day theme song, but they are mainly in English. This year, we thought why not add Chinese, Malay and Tamil lyrics, so that we can fully represent the races in our country," said MICappella leader Peter Huang.
He shared that this is the group's first collaboration with Iman, singer-model daughter of local football legend Fandi Ahmad.
"The whole process went very smoothly. I hope we will have the opportunity to work with her again," said Huang, who described Iman as "very friendly, hardworking and cooperative".
