One Semester Indian Devotional Summed Up In Half Of This Year

JAKARTA - Indies musicians released their newest song entitled Half this Year on Tuesday, July 14 yesterday. Judging by the title, this song was the subject of reflection for the singer named Baskara Putra during the first half of 2020.

Inviting Rayhan Noor as producer, Half this Year is one of the songs Baskara wrote during his quarantine. A month ago, he decided to let Rayhan know the first part. At that time, the lyrics had not been written.

Apart from Rayhan Noor, Hindia was also assisted by Wisnu Iksantama in composing this song. This half year will be the closing of the era of Dancing with Shadow, an album he released in November 2019.

“This song summarizes what I have felt socially and personally over the past six months. In the writing process, it was finally decided that 'Half this Year' would be a song to close the era of Dancing with Shadows, ”said the vocalist of .Feast through a press release received by VOI.

Baskara also took some of the lyrics from his first album into the lyrics of Half this Year, including Evaluation, Sufficiently, and Mata Air.

Social issues are still in the spotlight of the Indies in this song. Losing big musicians such as Glenn Fredly, the handling of the pandemic that is being carried out, until the State Palace staff combined with the cancel culture which some time ago attacked him.

"I'm not wise. I'm immature. I conveyed it in the wrong way, ”said the musician who was born on February 22. According to him, it is okay to be criticized, but when the criticism turns into a hate message, it feels unnatural.

Hindia also explores a new style by inserting a rap and choir side that makes this song not like Hindia or .Feast. "At first this song used an acoustic guitar but I've often worked on musical colors like this." From there he changed the song until he thought of the idea of adding a little side of his choir.

Not only songs, for the video clip, this time Baskara did not invite fans to participate as before. The half of the year video was made with a specific direction with special effects ranging from Baskara portraits to selected footage of events with the team.

In music, Hindia does not refer to a specific musician. The use of the era that is often used by international musicians inspired him to share music in order to emphasize a strong concept.

"I want each stage of my journey to immerse myself in music, concepts and visuals to be very clearly distinguished,"
