JAKARTA - Armand Maulana wants the best results for the five songs he sings in extended play (EP) or the mini album Sarwa Renjana, which is his latest release as a soloist.

Wanting the vocals of the song to be recorded optimally, vocalist Gigi chose to record it alone at home, without the help of others.

He even rejected Trinity Optima Production's offer as the label, to undergo vocal recordings in a good recording studio.

Dulu saya pas rekaman Dui (lagu Gigi), itu rekaman di rumah. Gua tuh ingin kembali ke itu, semuanya dikerjakan dengan sendiri dan tenang, ungkap Armand Maulana saat jumpa pers di Melawai, Jakarta Selatan, Selasa, 5 November.

According to him, with vocal recordings alone at home, the atmosphere that was built got better. He can casually do it in a simple way.

"In fact, I want to feel good, I just want to be comfortable (if the recording) itself," he said.

Armand's vocal recording results were also approved by the label. Everything went well, vocals on the five songs presented, blending with the musical arrangements that followed him.

Meanwhile, the EP Renjana corpse was intended by Armand for his only daughter, Naja Dewi Maulana, who studied higher education in England four years ago.

"Initially, it was an obstacle for a father who was left far away by a child who wanted to study. Yes, as a father, it was impossible to prohibit it," said Armand.

"Finally, that confusion is to create a work, yes, this Sarwa Renjana album," he continued.

The five songs presented in this EP are 'Don't Let Go', 'I'm Your Place Home', 'Semanman it', 'Senarai Cinta', and 'Surga' which are focus tracks.

The song Serga is a reminder to live a healthy life so that you can live a long life, protect loved ones longer. This song also comes through a music video directed by Shadtoto Prasetio by bringing back the visual nuances of the 1990s, by choosing to wear a flanel shirt, which is now back to popularity.

For information, the EP Renjana corpse' is only done by four people, namely Armand Maulana (songwriter), Ade kiosk (songwriters), Kamga (songwriter), and Simhala Avadana (A&R Trinity Optima Production).
