Dhira Bongs Presents Quarter Life Crisis Reflection in New Single "Sesuai Alamat"
Solois from Bandung, Dhira Bongs, is again coloring the independent music scene of the country by releasing his latest single titled "Sesuai Alamat".
Through his work, Dhira tries to dissect the phenomenon of the quarter life crisis that often haunts the younger generation, especially regarding the pressure to always appear successful in the midst of the social media timeline race.
Collaborating with a major label, this song comes as a reminder that each individual has a timeline of life that cannot be standardized with others.
Dhira chose a more intimate and reflective approach. "Sesuai Alamat" is an honesty about the fatigue that is often hidden behind the mask of cheerfulness.
The song doesn't offer an instant solution to the anxieties of life, but rather a space to breathe and accept that walking slower than others is not a failure.
For him, trusting in one's own direction of life is much more crucial than just following the footsteps of others who are not necessarily relevant to our inner selves.
"This song is actually about the belief that everyone walks with their own time. 'As Address' does not talk about who is the fastest, but rather about acceptance and trust in the process we are going through," said Dhira Bongs in his statement, Friday, March 6.
Musically, Dhira Bongs "Sesuai Alamat" is wrapped in alternative pop that is rich in nostalgia. Listeners will be served a layer of soft synth, which is then combined with a rough-textured guitar play but still feels right in the ears.
This arrangement is deliberately made not to dominate in order to create an intimate atmosphere, like a quiet conversation in the middle of the night when the mind is full.
The presence of this minimalist but characteristic instrument actually strengthens the reflective lyrics delivered by Dhira - making it the right companion for moments of personal contemplation.
The momentum of the launch of this single in the middle of Ramadan is also considered very in line with the spirit of reflection and search for inner peace. Dhira seems to invite his listeners to make peace with their own rhythm of life, while decorating the journey with prayer and faith.
For information, "Sesuai Alamat" can be enjoyed through various digital music platforms. The presence of this work is expected to be an oasis for those who are lost in the search for self-identity and the purpose of life.
