Continuing Existence in the Music Industry, Rakhano Releases 'Sempat Tak Sempat' on August 16, 2024

Kapanlagi.com-Faqih Rakhanoto, or better known by his stage name Rakhano, is increasingly showing his existence in the world of music in the homeland. After releasing two previous singles, “Ajarkanku Melepasnya” in September 2023 and “Berteman Saja Dulu” in February 2024, this young singer from Semarang is ready to launch his third single titled “Sempat Tak Sempat” on August 16.

This song will be part of Rakhano's increasingly mature music career under Sony Music Entertainment Indonesia (SMEI).

Like his previous works, this latest single still carries the pop genre. Rakhano, who was born on February 11, 2003, chose this song as his third work because he feels that the melody, message, and lyrics contained in the song can touch the hearts of his listeners. He believes that many people will feel connected to the story conveyed in this song.

“This song tells the story of a couple's relationship that has ended. The next day, it turns out that one of them already has a new partner. The person who hasn’t moved on questions why their ex-partner can be like that? Even though their relationship had lasted for years. That is the theme raised in this single, that someone who has accompanied us and whom we have cherished for years may not necessarily have the same feelings as we do. Although it is difficult, in the end, we must let it go,” Rakhano expressed about the meaning of his latest single.

1. A Challenging Process

The production process of this single took three months, starting from demo creation to the recording stage. Rakhano admits that there were several challenges he had to face during this process.

“There are parts that require me to sing high notes. I think this is quite challenging because in the previous two songs, they were not as high as this. However, thanks to the help of the Sony Music team involved, the work on this single went smoothly. I hope the result can be enjoyed by those who listen just as I enjoyed the process of making it,” Rakhano said enthusiastically.

For Rakhano, releasing a third single is a very meaningful achievement in his music career. He feels grateful for the opportunity to continue creating and never expected to reach this point, especially with the positive reception he has received from listeners on various digital music platforms.

“What’s clear is that since the first and second singles, I have gained a lot of knowledge. However, one thing I implement in my work is not to expect too much and to stay focused on what is present. I mean, having long-term goals is necessary, but we also need to work hard to make the most of what is currently available. Slowly, the efforts and successes that happen now will lead us to achieve our goals in the future,” Rakhano explained about the philosophy he holds in his work.

2. Keep Creating

Looking at his career journey so far, Rakhano hopes to continue moving further in the music world. He wishes to keep singing, create many songs, and produce content that can be enjoyed on various platforms. In addition, he also wants to promote the works he has released more widely.

“I have many dreams for my music career that are still far from perfect. However, for the single ‘Sempat Tak Sempat’, I hope that those who listen will like it, and someday, I can entertain them live and sing this song together on stage,” Rakhano concluded with great hopes for the future of his career.

Rakhano's latest single, “Sempat Tak Sempat”, will be available on various digital music platforms starting August 16, 2024. For pop music fans, this certainly becomes one of the works to look forward to.
