JAKARTA - Singer and actress Agatha Chelsea marks a new chapter in her musical career with the launch of her latest single titled Good Alone.
Through his latest work, the singer from the Idola Cilik event chose the path as an independent musician to explore a more mature artistic identity without the limitations of the industry.
Chelsea's decision to step out of the comfort zone and break away from the shadow of the conventional record label was an interesting surprise. After being in the local entertainment industry for more than a decade, the 24-year-old felt that now was the right time to take full control of his creative vision.
"I want my music to be an honest representation of who I am today," Agatha Chelsea said in her statement, Friday, July 17.
"Being independent gives me the space to make creative decisions that really come from myself, from music, stories, visuals, to the direction I want to build as an artist," he continued.
"Good Alone" carries a deep message about the process of loving yourself. Chelsea packs a theme about how a person can find true happiness independently, without having to rely on the validation of a romantic relationship.
Wrapped in an intimate pop music arrangement and contemplative lyrics, this song presents Chelsea's very authentic side of musical maturity.
Interestingly, Chelsea's career change also coincided with the new image that he carried as an intellectual artist. His academic background in psychology from the University of Melbourne and his interest in the world of neuroscience also influenced the depth of the lyrics and emotions that he poured into the musical arrangement.
Scientific research and musical art are able to go hand in hand in his hands. In fact, in the near future, Chelsea is scheduled to fly to the United States to continue her Master's (S2) studies at the Harvard Graduate School of Education to delve into educational leadership, learning innovation, and neuroscience.
For Chelsea, the academic world that he has struggled with will never kill his creativity in music. On the contrary, the two fields actually strengthen each other to produce meaningful works.
"Music has always been a way for me to understand humans. Neuroscience helps me understand how humans think, while music helps me understand how humans feel. I want to continue to build both of them side by side," he said.
Chelsea's big vision to marry science and art is also channeled through the NewronEdu education platform that he founded. Through this platform, he tries to embody complex theories of psychology and neuroscience so that they are easier to digest by the general public.
Now, through the initial step of releasing "Good Alone", Agatha Chelsea confirms that she is ready to build a music catalog that is honest, free from the constraints of market formulas, and fully represents the integrity of her soul as a free musician.
