JAKARTA - Ify Alyssa started in 2025 by releasing his second album titled Menata. This album is important, considering that the 28-year-old soloist did not release any musical works in the previous year.
VOI had the opportunity to hear songs from the album first through a healing session held in Kemang, South Jakarta on Thursday, January 16.
Meanwhile, the album 'Menata' contains eight songs, where Ify is directly involved in all songwriting.
Of the eight songs, three of them have been released as singles, namely Semesta Menari, Roda-Roda, and Tik Special.
Meanwhile, the other five songs are new songs, namely Semi, Dalam Gurutan, Stop, Menata, dan Thank you.
Regarding the selection of eight songs, Ify felt that the songs were enough to describe the story he wanted to convey through this album.
"Actually there are several other songs, but I think these eight songs are quite enough and fitting," said Ify.
The eight songs on the album Menata are divided into three different phases, which are felt to describe the journey of life experienced by everyone.

The first phase is referred to as a happy or fun phase. There are three songs that describe this phase, namely Semesta Menari, Roda-Roda, and Semi.
Then, the second phase is referred to as the Gloomy or gloomy phase. There are two songs that are felt to represent, namely In Gurutan and Stop.
Furthermore, in the third phase it is referred to as the acceptance phase, with three songs representing it being 'Menata', 'Thank You', and 'Not Special'.
"In the song 'Menata', actually everything on the album can be said to be summarized in this song," said Ify.
Meanwhile, the work on this second album was assisted by Ari Renaldi, a music producer who has long been known as Ify. The process has been running since 2022, ranging from workshops, music recordings in Bandung, and take vocals by Ify in his private room in Jakarta.
Although this is the first time working with Ari in working on an album, Ify feels that what he is doing is going well and producing something he really wants from the start.
"When I come, I always bring a song, and Kang Ari can give a different language of music, but we can agree on the results," said Ify.
For information, the second album Ify Alyssa can be heard on various digital streaming platforms starting Friday, January 17.
