Release Of EP Passed, Bernadya: For Your Sleeping Friends

Bernadya releases EP Crossed (Ivan Two Men/VOI)

JAKARTA - Bernadya released their first mini album (EP) as a soloist with the title Tercross. Under the auspices of JUNI Records, Bernadya, who was involved in composing 5 songs in this EP, collaborated with two producers, namely Rendy Pandugo and Lafa Pratomo.

In the EP Passed, there were two songs that had previously been released separately, What May and the Quiet Period. Meanwhile, 3 other songs, Tercrossing, Signal-Sinal, and One Month are new songs written by Bernadya herself.

The song Terpass was chosen as the opening and also the focus track in this latest EP. Bernadya said the song represents the entire series of songs on this album.

"I chose Terpass to be a focus track because this song is a summary representing songs in this mini album, which contains more or less questions and results of overthinking about anything before I go to sleep," said Bernadya during a press conference in Kemang, South Jakarta, Friday, June 23.

With a similar feel to what is in the single What Is Possible, Bernadya hopes that the Crossed EP can become a sleep companion for the listeners.

"Hopefully this song can be enjoyed by many people. I want this album to be like something people can hug while sleeping," he said.

Meanwhile, Rendy Pandugo and Lafa Pratomo as producers on this album expressed their satisfaction to be able to work with the young singer. At the age of 19, Bernadya is called a natural genius.

"In my opinion, Bernadya is very genius in writing lyrics. At the first time with his music demonstration, I saw this was really something," said Rendy Pandugo.

My 'First impression at that time, Bernadya was very natural. He can make something unusual look very casual,' said Lafa Pratomo.

Crossed EP can now be heard on digital streaming platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music, Resso, Deezer, YouTube Music, Langitmusic and others. While the video clip can be seen on Bernadya's Youtube channel.
