My First EP 'Bloom' is Out!

I've just released an EP, the lyric videos are now available on my youtube channel. 'Bloom' means like a flower blooming and also means i'm not done yet (pronounce as 'belum' in bahasa Indonesia means not yet). 

Contains 3 songs including Restarting that i've been released on last March (2023), i think it has incomplete vibes because at the start, i want to make an album, so this EP is just like an intro of the story. But nevermind. 

Mostly, the songs production was done by me and Aan (Bedroom Dweller Records) and the rest was by me and my friend A.M (photos, videos, lyric videos). 

Hmm, i have no much words to say because i am literally so tired and happy at the same time, mixed feelings. But this EP is for myself. I remember i started to learn to write a song since 2015 and began to produced in 2017 and this EP itself planned to be produced since 2019. It was a long waits. The X factor is my production skills such as mixing and mastering is not that far, so it took some years to learn and know what i want. Because, most of time, what i listen to and what i make is totally different.

Now, it's worth it. Seeing that my things are done is better than hoping the progress runs well. I know both are important but i prefer to focus on the result now so i have to make the progress is run well.





BLOOM EP

  1. Restarting
  2. Bargain 
  3. Accompany Me

Track 1 - Restarting

Restarting is a song about me restarting my music life by believing that i can do the production alone and i don't want someone to change my plan, my songs, my anything in the progress time. And also i quit hoping that people or community will help me to produce and promote my songs. Because eventho i love my very first single 'If I Knew', it is just not like me. Not what i wanted, but it still sounds beautiful. The production is awesome. I can't lie. But yeah, Restarting is about me starting my own journey as a bedroom musician. It all began at my bedroom. This song was made in 2019 when i got a new job and moved on from the studio.

Track 2

Bargain is a song for my belated father. This is the hardest song to sing. For me it took years to reach the Bargain stage. I use the word from the stage of grieving. The song was made in 2020.

Track 3

Accompany Me is amazing song about my anxiety seeing friends in their hard times. Seeing friends in college and working all day. Trouble sleeping and all, thinking about being me to help them. 

Can We Call This As A Photoshoot ?

So, i have a few photos here to accompany my new songs. Though i didn't make a booklet, at least i can share some photos along with my songs online or through social media as well as i share it here. Hehe, i enjoy it and i hope you enjoy the EP too. Thanks for visiting around!
