JAKARTA - Solo singer, Ashilla tries to pour out his heart in his latest musical work. With a reflective nuance that describes emotional turmoil, he poured it into a song titled Hancur Dulu.
Without intending to blame anyone, this song raises Ashilla's inner journey in understanding herself. The lyrics question the beliefs she has held in herself.
Hancur Dulumen (Broken) Caught in the denial phase that often occurs without realizing it, when fear, doubt, and demands to change are considered part of the process to become a better person. Through honest and calm lyrics, Ashilla invites listeners to enter a space of reflection, when there is an awareness that not all pain must be accepted with truth.
"This song is the first song I wrote independently in terms of lyrics. So for me, this song is very honest. Hancur Dulu grew out of my restlessness who had a wrong perception of myself, and was slapped by reality by my closest people. Behind all the good that I thought I had, it turns out that I have traits that, if I didn't realize it, hurt a lot of people. "said Ashilla in a written release, February 25.
In the production of this song, it involved producer Rifan Kalbuadi ("Gala Bunga Matahari", "Kekal", "All I Celebrated") with an intimate and minimalist folk pop arrangement, thus giving space for each of its lyrics. This song does not offer an instant answer or a definitive solution, but rather about the process of stopping for a moment, observing yourself, and opening up the possibility of being guided in a better direction.
The experience of writing songs himself is an interesting phase for Ashilla. He admitted that he was inspired by the writing style of a pop star who saw pouring honesty into his lyrics.
"I learned to write songs honestly from Olivia Rodrigo. I feel that every song she writes, she is not ashamed to show the flaws she has. Through this song, I try to do the same thing."
For Ashilla, "Hancur Dulu" is a reminder that self-awareness often comes from confusion, not from certainty. This song is directed at anyone who is at a crossroads, trying to understand themselves, by trying to accept and acknowledge their own shortcomings, even in a harsh way.
Ashilla's journey as a musician continued after he was known as a child singer. He was also a member of the vocal group Blink in his teenage years.
In addition to music, he also acted in the soap opera "Putih Abu-Abu" in 2011. In 2012, Ashilla decided to become a solo singer. At the end of 2012, Ashilla launched her first single titled "#BIEB". In 2014, he filled the soundtrack for the film "Me & You vs. The World", starring Rio Dewanto, Dhea Seto, Gofar Hilman, and Ashilla himself, titled "Me & You".
Now with experience and self-maturity, Ashilla tries to share her feelings in the song she wrote. Hancur Dulu can be heard on various digital platforms.
