Aloy, a member of the AAA Clan, replaced influencer Erika Carlina as the vocalist for the track “Don’t Talk to Me” on DNA’s album OURORA due to a viral breakup between Carlina and DJ Bravy. Aloy confirmed the change during a press encounter in Gatot Subroto, South Jakarta, on July 1, 2026, citing the need to meet digital streaming platform (DSP) deadlines despite the ongoing controversy surrounding Bravy’s alleged infidelity.
Why did the vocalists change for “Don’t Talk to Me”?
The original plan for the song involved a collaboration between Erika Carlina and DJ Bravy. However, according to Aloy, the relationship between the two collapsed amid viral cheating allegations. This personal conflict made it impractical to record the track as intended.
Aloy stated he felt uncomfortable contacting Carlina while the news was “very hot,” noting that the controversy persisted for one to two months. To avoid delays in the album’s release, Aloy stepped in to record the vocals himself.
How did the production shift affect the final track?
Aloy reported that transitioning from a guest feature to his own vocals was relatively seamless. While he noted that adjusting to the existing instruments presented some challenges, he clarified that these were not issues that fundamentally altered the song’s direction.
The workflow remained consistent, with lyrics being finalized before the recording process began in the studio. This allowed the team to hit their target release date for the OURORA album on July 3, 2026.
What happens when celebrity drama hits music deadlines?
The situation with DNA’s OURORA album highlights a recurring tension in the music industry: the clash between personal branding and rigid DSP distribution schedules. When artists rely on influencers for features, they risk their timeline if the partnership dissolves.
In this case, the “deadline” was the primary driver. Aloy emphasized that the team “had to” submit the album to the DSPs, leaving no room to wait for the public sentiment regarding Bravy and Carlina to cool down.
