Mark Natama (Ist)

JAKARTA - Singer Mark Natama expressed his ideas and creativity in the mini album 'Bachelor of Romance'. This album summarizes emotional travel and lessons about various forms of love.

Mark became the lead songwriter for this EP with the help of a number of collaborators. There were Beraldy Dean, Racka Fandiana, to Rendy Pandugo, who helped realize the songs in it as something that Mark was most honest and personal.

Bachelor of Romance which literally means Sarjana Romance, Mark describes this EP as a summary of his love learning over the last few years. He analogized his emotional journey like a college process filled with failures, repetition, directional search, until finally he was able to keep his hopes of graduating with the best version of himself.

Even though there have been many failures, all of that has become a lesson. For me, love is broad. Not only to your partner, but also to friends, family, and people who are always present and ready to help me. I wrote all the songs on this EP to be honest. The hope is that I can also listen to the fragile side that has been with me all this time. Hopefully this EP can give me a breath of freshness and prove that men also have room to be vulnerable, "explained Mark Natama in a written broadcast, August 4.

With a total of six tracks, the 'Bachelor of Romance' presents the dynamics of love from various points of view. By 'forgot' being the main single of this EP that opens a new chapter on the journey of the musical Mark Natama, this song is an emotional R&B that records feelings trapped in memories.

In the song, he realized that no matter how big his efforts were, it would never be enough for someone who didn't love him back. But despite knowing that fact, he still finds it difficult to escape from the past.

Next is 'would u be mine?', where Mark Natama collaborates with Rendy Pandugo who also acts as co-writer and producer. Wrapped in a warm pop-R&B feel, this song feels like a gentle invitation to start something new, full of hope, but still brings the vulnerability side of a human being.

With intimate vocals and English lyrics, this song is an emotional turning point in this EP. These two songs stand on two different sides of emotion: one about the difficulty of releasing, another about the courage to reopen, reflecting the duality that is the common thread in this EP.

The series of songs in the 'Bachelor of Romance' is a documentation of Mark's growth and development as a songwriter and singer. From questioning the meaning of love, experiencing heartbreak, to finding the courage to reopen, this EP captures moments that are familiar to anyone who has ever fallen in love, failed, and finally dared to try again.

This album is also a work he presented before continuing his studies in the United States. This decision is part of a new phase in his life, both personally and professionally, as a form of commitment to continue to develop and explore himself, inside and outside of music.
