Ready To Be The New Face Of Indonesian Music, Joanna Andrea Opens The EP Debut Through Single Release

JAKARTA - The country's music industry has a young female soloist who is preparing to steal the show, Joanna Andrea. Joining the Pro-M music label, the 20-year-old singer Gen Z is starting her new journey into music.

"Let go of emotional songs about toxic relationship and the courage to leave to save yourself" to become Joanna's first single with her new label.

The choice of Lespaskan as a new starting marker is not without reason. The song written by Ilham Laksamana is considered relevant to the discussions around Gen Z, red flags and toxic relationship.

The lyrics tell the story of someone who has been in a relationship that is full of manipulation and unilateral sacrifices, until finally decides to choose himself and let go.

Through this song, Joanna seems to invite listeners to dare to make decisions, even if it means having to separate, in order to be able to live a healthier life emotionally.

The ability to process vocals and appreciation of songs is Joanna's capital. Pro-M sees the character of her voice giving her own life, making the song more connected and touching for anyone who has been in a similar position.

Joanna Andrea's new journey with Pro-M certainly doesn't stop with one single. The mini album or extended play (EP) debuted with the title LEPAS will be launched this weekend.

"Through this EP, I want to convey an important message: that loving yourself is the beginning of all recovery," said Joanna in her statement, Tuesday, July 29.

The EP has pop nuances and this folk contains four songs. Apart from being 'glooting' that can already be heard on various digital music platforms, another track is 'Only One', 'Not Lasting', and 'The Face That Takes Me Home'.

Even though she has only joined Pro-M, Joanna Andrea has been exploring music careers since 2017, when she joined The Voice Kids Indonesia, which is also another young soloist, Bernadya and Dere.

The trip at the event did not run optimally, but Joanna got a new experience that also formed her mentality.

Since then, Joanna has released several singles independently. He also returned to The Indonesian Next Big Star in 2022.

Trying to consistently work from a young age is clearly not easy. Joanna Andrea was confused about her musical journey, until finally hope only emerged at the end of 2024, when she was met with Pro-M.

Together with her new label, Joanna Andrea expressed her commitment to become a new face that enlivens the Indonesian music industry.
