After Success with 'Pernah Dicinta', Elsa Japasal is Ready to Release a New Single

Kapanlagi.com - Talented young singer Elsa Japasal is preparing to greet listeners again with her latest single scheduled to be released before the end of this year. After successfully capturing attention with her solo debut Pernah Dicinta, which made it to the Spotify RADAR Indonesia 2025 list, Eca (her nickname) is now presenting a bolder image with a more exploratory and challenging music concept.

In the process, Eca admits that the journey to this new song has not been easy. There are many difficult notes and improvisations that demand extra vocal ability. However, behind that struggle, she feels very lucky to be able to collaborate with Kamga, who has once again been trusted as the vocal director for her new project.

1. Feel It Yourself

"If Ever Loved is like a moody confession, if this new song of mine is more about celebrating love in the heart, even if it's only felt alone," said Eca.

According to Eca, this latest song has a fairly high level of difficulty, especially in the final part of the song.

2. Hard to Sing

"But honestly, this song is quite hard to sing. Especially in the last chorus, there's an improvisation that makes me nervous. Luckily, Kak Kamga helped a lot to direct me during the recording," she said.

3. Not a New Thing

The professional closeness between Eca and Kamga is not a new thing. Previously, Kamga was also the vocal director when Eca collaborated with For Revenge on the song Waiting for a Turn. From that experience, Eca already knew that Kamga could help her step out of her comfort zone without losing her original character.

4. Feeling Comfortable

"At that time, I immediately felt comfortable with how Kak Kamga directed. So when I found out I would meet again for this new single of mine, I was very happy. It felt like meeting a partner who really understands how to get me out of my comfort zone," said Eca.

5. Vocal Lessons

Eca's seriousness in working on this single is also evident from her decision to take vocal lessons before entering the studio. She didn't want the result to be just average.

"When I was just taking the demo, I already felt that this song was more difficult. So I decided to take lessons to be more prepared. I don’t want to do it halfway, especially since this is a song that I really want to give my best to," she explained.

6. Very Professional

Support for Eca's totality also comes from the label. Alyssia Sutedjo from the A&R team at Sony Music considers Eca's approach to be very professional.

"Elsa is very serious about this. She knows this song is difficult, which is why she took vocal lessons before recording. That’s a professional step that shows how committed she is as a singer," said Alyssia.

7. Deeper Emotions That Are More Mature
