JAKARTA - Unfortunately, Life Must Keep Running. The first time I heard this title, there was a picture of pessimism, depreciation, and the heart being cut apart. Is that true what Bernadya is trying to describe?

At least from eight tracks arranged on this album, the answer may be yes. And his connoisseurs can feel the same way.

It's quite interesting how the singer presents the dark tone on her first full album. In addition to the quoteable broken heart lyrics, this dark vibe is also clearly depicted through Bernadya's all-black clothes on this album artwork.

The title of the album itself had become controversial because the writing style was said to be'mimicking' by other musicians. However, Bernadya and the musician whose name was dragged away were fine. Let the social media thunder as they please.

Track number 2, Said They This is too much to be the first work to be introduced as the album opener. To date, the song has played 28 million times and has become a 'top score' on the album. Petra Sihombing's cold hands as producer have succeeded in realizing the ideas the singer wanted to convey well.

Apart from Petra, half of the tracks on this album were also worked on by musician and singer Rendy Pandugo. As a result, eight tracks in it are dominated by the guitar as a prominent instrument. In the release of this album, JUNI Records did want to prove that the song confusion is not identical to the piano. And that theory is arguably proven.

Although arrangement is important, the strength of songs and lyrics remains the main life of a song. Bernadya, who is still 20 years old, managed to wrap up lyrics that are relatable to the listener. This broken heart is celebrated massively by millions of teenagers who are confused.

Bernadya compiled a tracklist on the album 'Unfortunately, Life Must Keep Running' according to the phase faced when mourning. He admitted that these songs are a combination of personal experiences, stories of those closest to him and messages sent by fans on social media. This turns out to be the reason why many people relate to the songs.

In closing, Bernadya presents the song 'Fortunately, Life Must Keep Running'. Then why isn't that song the album titled? Why is it depressive?

Judging from the artwork and tracklist, of course the feelings of sadness, anger and heartbreak that he wants to highlight. While the final track seems to be a form of responsibility as a singer, who wants to convey after the grief, there are hopes and good things that will come.

"In this (album) phase, let's just focus on feeling confused," said Bernadya in her first full album.
