JAKARTA - Wijaya 80 continued their musical passion after debuting with the EP 'Meeting'. Ardhito Pramono, Hezky Joe and Erikson Jayanto did not waste time presenting the next song entitled 'I already know'.

This song presents the lighter and energetic music colors of Wijaya 80 as well as the composition with the most pleasant nuances in their catalog so far.

Lyrics Already Tau tells of someone who falls in love with a figure who is known to often give false hopes. Even though he has realized that these feelings may not be pleasing, he still chooses to pursue, stuck in a dilemma between hope and reality.

Wijaya 80 wants to convey a message that is firm and relevant to those who still hope in the uncertain. "If he doesn't care, don't waste time. Try to find out!"

The process of writing the song itself is structured, but also exploratory. At the beginning of the creation, this song actually did not have a complete part of the verse. Erikson was then asked to play the piano melody on the beat that had been prepared. From there, Ardhito and Hezky spontaneously added the lyrics and vocal melodies in an impromptu way, born from the jamming process involving all three personnel.

For the mixing and Mastering process, they are assisted by Aldi Nada Permana. Meanwhile, the visual artwork section was worked on by Said Alattas and photography by Dudhy Dwi Listario.

Already Tau is an exploratory step that remains true to Wijaya 80's musical identity, which is to revive the 1980s musical aesthetics with a modern approach. Different from the previous songs that tended to have a poetic and calm nuance, I already know actually presents a higher tempo and rhythm that encourages listeners to dance, without losing their emotional depth in the lyrics.

Wijaya 80 believes that this love of retro music is not just a temporary trend. In fact, the limitations of musical production technology in the past are believed to be irreplaceable uniqueness. They also mentioned that the work of this era has a strong character that is able to penetrate time and generation.

Good work will not be able to lie. Music from the 80s era is a representation of the word timeless and will always find its way to be enjoyed again across the ages," they said in a written broadcast, July 31.

Wijaya 80 hopes that their latest material can expand the reach of listeners, as well as introduce a refreshing musical color but still full of meaning. A little leak, Ardhito Cs is preparing for the next EP which will be a continuation of their musicality exploration as a group.
