Kala Cinta Menggoda (English: When Love Tempts) is a seventeenth studio album by the Indonesian singer Chrisye, released in November 1997 by Musica Studios. Produced by Erwin Gutawa, who handling the arrangement, it received numerous awards, including two Anugerah Musik Indonesia Awards, in 1998; the music video for the title track won the Asia Viewer's Choice Award that same year. The album was also recorded and released by Chrisye prior to his death, 10 years later.
Kala Cinta Menggoda was recorded by Chrisye, with Erwin Gutawa handling the arrangement.[1] Like his 1996 album AkustiChrisye, the album also utilising acoustic music and uses Australian orchestra.[1]
"Ketika Tangan dan Kaki Berkata", one of the album's 10 tracks, was based on the Islamic view of the Last Judgment and verse 65 of Surah Ya Sin,[2] which reads:
"Today we shall seal the mouths of the infidels, and their hands will speak to us, and their feet will bear witness to what (evils) they used to earn."[3]
The lyrics were written by Taufik Ismail after Chrisye asked him to write lyrics to go with a melody he had written.[2] The recording of "Ketika Tangan dan Kaki Berkata", the last song recorded for the album, required numerous takes because Chrisye would break down in tears after singing a couple of lines.[1] Eventually, Chrisye was able to finish one take the day before he left for Australia. He later wrote that it was one of the most important songs he had ever sung, but he could not sing or listen to it again; he called his emotions in the song the most "sincere" he had ever had while singing.[1]
