Laze's Latest Single Song Depicts Social Media 'poison'

Laze (Doc. Laze)

JAKARTA - Havie Parkasya alias Laze (read Leiz) removing single track (single) recently titled From the screen. This is the third single after Temporarily and From the Window which is the material from Laze's second full album which is scheduled to be released this year.

This song tells the story of the social media screens that often show the neighbor's grass which is always greener through the posts we follow. Whether it's a vacation abroad, the beautiful / handsome partner of friends or the happiness of being married, a racing career, and a collection of expensive items. We are dazzled by how life on other people's social media always looks fun, successful and full of achievement.

“However, what is often forgotten is that what is usually displayed is happiness on the screen, which can only be a surface stage of an achievement because we don't see the ups and downs of struggle. It adds to the possibility that the pleasure could be the result of mere imagery, ”said Laze, in a written statement received by VOI .

Here too, our position is often trapped as poison for others in the vicious circle of that image. By just showing off the good and cool things, then unwittingly forming that image. Plus it's a very human thing too when on social media we only choose special and cool things.

"Like other social media users, I will post photos that I like. Also a cool thing, the activities I do if it's fun are like performing or behind the scene footage, when shooting video clips, ”he added.

This once backfired and became the idea for Off the Screen .

“One day someone came up to me and said, 'Mas Laze, do you like rapping on YouTube? How is it different, if in the video clip it looks like the cool and successful one '. There I realized that there were impressions and perceptions that had not been accidentally formed on the screen through my stylized way. So that person thinks I am successful and wallow. "

That anxiety he poured at the end of his new single. Whether he is aware of it or not, he plays a part in forming a "fake" image for others. Then it is covered with elements of satire, the provocative satire typical of Laze. The thing that always makes listeners pay close attention to the repetition of the stanza that is his mainstay when he vomits the strings he chooses in an interesting and provocative manner. Listen to one of the verses from this screen :

"We hope to become stars / Through the most instant way / Open exhibition without going to Jiexpo / Shame until all balances are exposed"

Narrow references to popular culture as usual do not escape the flicks such as:

"Among fakes, whose image is real? / Create a character like him Stan Lee "

"If you want to make a sin / Shhh, this is a secret / If you want to make a reward / Make sure the camera is on"

In the single From the Screen Laze attempts to create a more concise lyric style with a clearer message. Then wrapped in music produced by Randy MP (producer / collective of the Pop Parliament) and Riza Rinanto. Laze's second full album is scheduled to be released at the end of 2020.
