JAKARTA - Singer and songwriter from Hong Kong, XTIE released her first mini album titled Apollo-23.

XTIE tells, it takes quite a long time to prepare for the Apollo-23 album. For him, the album is XTIE's exploration of life, the universe, and the relationship between humans and nature through cosmic pop music.

"This is an album that I produced myself and like my (diorama) musical journey so far," XTIE told Antara.

The Apollo-23 album is carefully made so that listeners can focus on the power of loving themselves, independence, and freedom. The name Apollo-23 is inspired by the name of NASA's space mission under the name Apollo and resonates with the meaning of the album, namely exploration of the outside world and attracting the curiosity we have about the world outside the planet, while still taking care of yourself.

In the album, XTIE presents 7 selected songs with several previously released songs. In addition, she added one bonus song that is only available on her physical album with the title Skin (Under The Skin Vers.). Seven songs that she presents on the Apollo-23 album, including Flower Town, Spaceship, Virgo, Skin, FF, Field of Gold, and Cloud 9.

Flower Town became the song of choice as the main title in the album. In the song, XTIE wants listeners to find their own inner peace while listening to the music. The song was the first song he released and told that XTIE wanted the listeners to find their own peace.

Uniquely, XTIE had made a special merchandise by cutting a CD of her album into 4 parts, then placing it randomly on 4 separate albums for lucky fans. For him, this is done so that the listeners can find their own 'cosmic' and can connect with each other.

"As an independent artist, making an album in CD form is an extraordinary achievement. I want people to find their own world," said XTIE.

In the future, XTIE also wants to make the album Apollo-23 in black, namely a music player in the form of a disk. However, XTIE said she would do it later and it is not yet known when the blacklist release will be because at this time she is still focused on promoting the album CD Apollo-23.

Through the Apollo-23 album, XTIE hopes that not only will she feel 'healed' in making this album, but people who listen to it can also feel the same way. He wants the warmth and happiness of the songs in his album to be conveyed to the listeners.
