The goat was thirsty so he got into the well. When he had drunk enough, he looked around but there
was no way to get out. Then the fox said, I have a good idea. You stand on your hind legs and put your forelegs

Bisa Saja is choosen as the first single of the album and theme song of BROWNIES, since the lyric
reflects the story in the movie. Budjana of GIGI demonstrates his skills in playing acoustic guitar in Cinta
Terakhir . Three other brand new song Dilema, Jangan Bilang Pacarku and Semua Orang Berhak
Mendapat Rasa Bahagia, gives supporting nuances to the movie flow as GIGI composed them by imagining
how the scenes would like look based on the screenplay.
When Hanung Bramantyo, the director, and Dewa Budjana of GIGI chated, Budjana expressed his
interest in making soundtrack album. Then, he recommended a few of GIGI songs, which the producer accepted
because of the chemistry they created with the movie. Since GIGI can provide a variety of colors to add all
kinds of musical nuances to enrich the movie, the producer deemed it unnecessary to find other musicians to
complete OST of BROWNIES. Armand Maulana (vocalist), I Gede Dewa Budjana (guitarist), Thomas
Ramdhan (Bass player) , and Gusti Erhandy (Drum-stand-in player for Budhi haryono) put a lot of effort to this
album. As a result, theyve created perfect blend of movie and songs that makes BROWNIES tastier.
Its always fun to have a piece of Brownies in your mouth. But having it in your stereo set is more
entertaining. No movie is perfect without musical score and OST of Brownies proved it excellent.
