Stay Progressive, Isyana Sarasvati Is Now More Abstarch And Full Of Mantra
JAKARTA - Isyana Sarasvati is continuing her musical journey again by releasing her fourth album titled ISYANA. This album was born from the post-COVID-19 process and various events that occurred around Isyana.
Isyana said that this fourth album is part of her personal story that managed to survive the small observer. The musician who was born in Bandung felt that the pandemic was the turning point and burning point moment he experienced.
"There is a lot that we can learn from and take lessons from this small apocalypse which makes me a more mature human being and it turns out that I got a lot of spiritual and non spiritual journeys afterward," Isyana Sarasvati said in her statement.
What he found in that era also helped him to identify himself further. The various things Isyana felt were good energy for her to work. Until finally he succeeded in creating three additional songs that complemented the album ISYANA.
In this album, Isyana Sarasvati again invited Vutura's Mantra to create a masterpiece entitled UnDER GOD'S PLAN after previously producing tracks entitled Prelude I which was also present at the EP Mystery.
This song itself became the longest work of the musician with a duration of 6 minutes 52 seconds created with collaborators. In this song, one of the personnel of the Vutura Mantra, Zakir Danubrata, sings along. Interestingly, Isyana presents the languages she creates herself and feels like a beautiful mantra.
Progressive rock music bailouts are still felt in this single, with the addition of electronic music from the Vutura Mantra duo.
No less interesting, Isyana also presented a new progressive rock material entitled 'Mindblowing!'. This song is an abstract expression of how a different individual journey can unite individuals with each other.
Isyana presented this abstract expression with a beat drum and a guitar riff going crazy. Then, there is something iconic about this song, namely Isyana presents a sound that will hypnotized anyone.
The album ISYANA feels so special and very personal for a Isyana Sarasvati, the proof is that she also added a single with a very warm melody for listeners created with her beloved husband Rayhan Maditra. This is the second time Isyana has collaborated with Mako (her husband's nickname), after previously releasing the song 1+1 in 2021.
Isyana and Mako explained that this song is a personal single for them because it comes from people who are very close to them and have private messages for loved ones. In fact, Isyana presents another version at once, namely stripped version as a bonus track.
It doesn't stop there, the ISYANA Album is equipped with two other track bonuses, one of which is UNLOCK THE KEY (Electone Version), an instrumental presentation whose performance video was released in the past few years in collaboration with Kenan Loui.
Next is an interlude entitled ISYANA which is also a background in the single-home production, a personal conversation between Isyana and Rayhan.
The album ISYANA has been available on the digital streaming platform since May 26, 2023.
