JAKARTA - Singer and songwriter Ify Alyssa is back to greet Indonesian music lovers with her latest work. The former Blink member has just launched a new single titled "Pindah Pelan Pelan".

There is something unique about the creative process behind the creation of this song. If usually musicians dig inspiration from personal experiences, this time Ify chose to translate emotional phenomena that are often experienced by a wide audience.

The idea of creating "Moving Slowly" started from a quote that Ify read on social media. The quote discusses the psychological dynamics of someone who is secretly trying to move on from their partner, even though their status is still bound by the commitment of the relationship.

Unexpectedly, the upload triggered a wave of responses from netizens who shared similar stories. Departing from the mass outpouring of hearts in cyberspace and validated by stories from his immediate surroundings, Ify was moved to weave the narrative into a reflective musical work.

The song "Pindah Pelan Pelan" itself is not mourning the pain after a breakup, but rather photographing the emotional transition phase that occurs before the breakup is actually uttered. The main focus is on honesty to yourself when facing mental fatigue in maintaining a relationship that is no longer in line.

Ify Alyssa assessed that the phenomenon of shifting feelings before the relationship ended was a natural thing psychologically, although it was taboo to be expressed. Through this song, he wants to give space for the feelings that are often buried.

In the production process, Ify Alyssa took direct action by writing the lyrics of the song. In order to translate his emotional message so that it is perfectly conveyed to the listener, he partnered with Ari Renaldi as a producer.

In the hands of Ari Renaldi, "Pindah Pelan Pelan" is packaged with a very minimalist, calm, and touching pop music arrangement. Ify's soft vocal character blends well with the touching instrument notes, creating an intimate atmosphere as if the listener were being invited to chat from heart to heart.

Ify Alyssa's track record in the Indonesian music industry is known to be consistent. Since the beginning of her career as a solo artist after Blink, she has always been committed to writing all of her song material herself.

This consistency has been proven by the launch of two full studio albums, "Pelita Lara" in 2020 and the collaboration album "We Collaborative" in 2023. The presence of the single "Pindah Pelan Pelan" also marks a new phase of Ify Alyssa's creative maturity in mapping human emotions into strings of notes.
