JAKARTA - Bernadya Ribka's journey continues in her second full album. Not stopping at Sialnya, Hidup Harus Tetap Berjalan, her first phenomenal album, this time the release was deliberately made more colorful.

Officially launched on June 23, 2026, this album marks a new era for the young singer who is no longer black dominant. He poured various more complex feelings into 10 tracks, encompassed in one strong title phrase, May Be Only in Dreams.

If the first album was dominated by Rendy Pandugo and Petra Sihombing as producers, the second album project involved more names. In fact, in this album Bernadya also collaborated with another musician, namely Perunggu.

JUNI Records as a label is deliberately plotting Bernadya's exploration with names that have been tested in the Indonesian music scene. According to Adryanto Pratono, CEO of JUNI Records, bringing the talent together with new people is one of the most fun things.

Semoga Hanya di Mimpi is conceived as an album with a 2000s feel. From visual aspects such as artwork, music videos to the selected arrangements and sound elements, everything is done with a 2000s music mindset that is simple but more meaningful.

Working with musicians as other producers for the first time such as Enrico Octaviano, Vega Antares, to Baskara Putra was an interesting experience for Bernadya. Each musician gives his color, which sometimes takes Bernadya to different sonic spaces.

"It's nice that he knows what he wants, so during the process we give each other feedback. So it's not just following, which makes the process exciting," said Maul from Perunggu who collaborated on the track Peluk Aku Sekarang!.

Through this album, Bernadya and JUNI Records also want to present a comprehensive experience for fans. One way is realized with the Semoga Hanya di Mimpi Pop-up Zone which will take place on June 27 and 28, 2026 at Cilandak Town Square, South Jakarta.

"I want to invite listeners to enter the world of my dreams, I want them not only to listen, but also to feel this album," said Bernadya.

In addition to Only in Dreams, it has been introduced first through the single Kita Buat Menyenangkan and Rabun Jauh. However, the other eight tracks also have their own unique, exploratory style and are waiting to be discovered by listeners.
