Jakarta: Pop singer and songwriter Melly Goeslaw has released a music video for her latest single 'Cinta dan Ibadah' (Love and Worship), which marks the first time she has worn a hijab in a music video.
'My fans wanted me to stay unique and different, so I needed to experiment. I researched a lot about hijab style; I got a lot of inspiration from the Internet,' Melly said as quoted by tempo.co in Jakarta.
Melly, who is known for her quirky fashion choices, said she was comfortable wearing the veil.
'People say the hijab is hot, but I just feel the same. Wearing or not wearing a hijab, it still feels hot [in this climate],' the mother of two said.
The 40-year-old said she would keep experimenting with her fashion style. 'My husband and children support me. I still have a lot of clothing items in my wardrobe that I can wear with the hijab. Those that I can't wear, I will donate to people who need them.'
