Release of Mikha Angelo's Debut Album 'Amateur' He Did Everything Himself

Kapanlagi.com - After releasing 3 previous singles, namely Shot, Rundan Middle Ground, Mikha Angelo finally released his debut album titled 'Amateur' on August 28, 2020. This album was entirely done by Mikha himself, starting from the songwriting process, arrangements, and instruments.

“Initially, maybe I wanted to push myself to be able to play every part because maybe since I wrote the song, I know best what it needs and I learned to be better at playing instruments for the sake of the song to be good and also more economical, hehe,” said Mikha during a virtual press conference, Thursday (27/8).

1. All Lyrics in English

With the vision of introducing Mikha to the international world, all 8 tracks in this album are in English. Mikha also finds it easier to convey messages in these songs in English.

"Actually, there is no specific reason why English is used. Maybe it's also to not exclude listeners from other countries. Maybe because it's difficult to create songs where not all messages can be easily conveyed in Indonesian. So in this album, it's all in English," he explained.

2. The Difference in Creating Songs with The Overtunes

Usually, Mikha creates songs together with his older brothers, Mada and Reuben, in the band group The Overtunes. But now, everything is done by Mikha himself. So what differences does Mikha feel?

"(In The Overtunes) I know the vocal distribution which is really Mada and Reuben's thing. So everything is considered. Whereas for my own songs, I don't discuss any topics or arrangers with anyone. The fun part is that when it comes to lyrics, I don't need others to understand, it seems like all opinions come from myself. Maybe it's just a different perspective," Mikha concluded.
