Gloria Jessica (Doc. Gloria Jessica)

JAKARTA - Gloria Jessica has again shown her ferocity through her latest breakthrough, releasing an EP entitled What Are We Now? which was released via Sinjitos Collective. This album contains two songs, What Are We Now? and Curiosities.

The title track of What Are We Now? Reflecting on life during the pandemic and now, bringing listeners to face the vibrations of uncertainty while living calls for us to make decisions, stand in the midst of gamang and anxiety about welcoming a hopeful future.

This song presents Gloria's distinctive powerful vocals accompanied by flavor-grabbing music, her work with producer and songwriter Joseph Saryuf (Iyub, Sinjitos Collective).

What Are We Now? marks Gloria's move towards a new era in her music career, after finally releasing the album Harlequin in 2021.

"This is my new journey... Indeed, so far I realized that I had disappeared. But through these two songs, I went back to work. Going back to music," Gloria said when she told about her return to the world of music which became her first love, after exploring new realms during the pandemic, including opening a coffee shop as well as a creative hub in South Jakarta.

Using a car ride as a parable on the main single for this EP, Gloria envisions holding the wheel with a passenger who represents someone, or an opportunity and dreams of taking him driving slowly and fast and taking definite steps at a crossroads to determine the future.

"We don't need to know what the future will be like, but we have to know what we want and are not afraid to make mistakes," his message was quoted from an official statement received by the editors on Friday.

Growing up and developing from a elegant and feminine persona that fans have known during her time as a finalist for The Voice Indonesia, Gloria now displays her complete self, with the freedom to reveal her brave side.

What Are We Now? This is the first time Gloria has been directly involved in writing music for her single from the start, making this song feel rooted in her.

The creation of this song was also felt unique to him, because it began with a usil decision to try out the software for Logic Pro music production that he had never controlled before. The raw version of this song was then processed together with collaborators into a pumpy track and energy that can now be enjoyed by all listeners.

In this song, Gloria was amazed by the capacity of each collaborator to jointly shape the track to be the best version. For him, every song has its own destiny, and the job of the artists is to make it happen.
