JAKARTA - Along with the release of a single As Far as the Two Worlds', Kahitna announced the launch of an extended play (EP) or mini album which is planned to arrive later this year.

Sejauh Dua Dunia jadi salah satu materi yang akan dihadirkan di album baru nantinya. Selain itu, akan ada dua lagu lain yang akan dihadirkan.

"We are preparing a new EP this year. Hopefully it can be released around November," said Yovie Widianto during a press conference in Kemang, South Jakarta, Monday, April 22.

Through a new EP, Kahitna also wants to take a different perspective. Previously, many singers had brought back Kahitna's songs, this time Yovie Widianto cs wanted to bring back the songs that had already been performed by other singers.

"Now it's our turn to perform songs from the new generation by singing songs 'As Far As the Two Continents', with a distinctive touch of Kahitna," said Yovie.

If so far many Kahitna works have been performed by many singers and young people such as If He Knows'' performed by RAN, then also The Most Beautiful Former performed by Raisa, as well as Arsy and Tiara. So Kahitna appreciated this song as a form of appreciation to the new generation who continued the spirit of Kahitna's music.

Yovie also talked about the late Carlo Saba who died last year. The new single and the upcoming EP are dedicated to commemorate the vocalist who has a big role in Kahitna's journey

Actually Carlo is always present both at Kahitna and in his soulmate (fans). The most expensive for us, Carlo loves Kahitna very much. He has a desire to be solo, but he always thinks Kahitna. Kahitna is always number one in his heart. And he also made Kahitna continue to exist for 38 years, "concluded Yovie Widianto.
