Petra Sihombing (Doc. Twenty Three)

JAKARTA - Man Kasur is Petra Sihombing's fifth work launched this year. This song features the talented musician Pamungkas.

"I met Pam from the start. I really like her energy. Maybe I don't think there is a similarity in the work, but I like the songs she released. I had a story about (the album) since the Internet, and she sent me a voice note from Manusia Kasur. I felt it was right on my album, "said Petra.

Manusia Kasur are the most lazy songs on the album since the Internet. This is the link between the song and the big theme of Petra's album which will be released in the near future.

"I think laziness is also a part of life. It's very important," said Petra.

"A month at the beginning of the pandemic, I played games 9 hours a day for a month non-stop. It felt like a vacation I needed. I was so happy. After that I made music again it felt so refreshing. Being a Mattress Man for a while is really okay, it should be. "
