Raising the Theme of Failing to Move On, Ravi Andika Releases 'Kembali?'

Kapanlagi.com - This year, 2025, is marked by new works from local musicians, one of whom is Ravi Andika. He recently officially released his latest single titled Kembali?. This song marks Ravi's return to writing lyrics in Bahasa Indonesia after a long time.

“It's simple. I miss having a song that can be performed in my Mother Tongue,” he explained briefly.

Kembali? tells the story of someone who wants to return to their lover but is still filled with doubt. Through this song, Ravi tries to convey the feeling of failing to move on.

1. The Feeling of Failing to Move On

“In this song, I want to convey the feeling of failing to move on, depicted more dramatically in line with what many people experience in this era,” Ravi explained.

In terms of musicality, this song presents a quite unique arrangement. At the beginning of the song, listeners are treated to a slow tempo that creates a melancholic impression, but the beat changes to a faster pace in the last third of the song. This tempo change provides a surprise and keeps the mood of the song fresh without getting trapped in an overly gloomy atmosphere.

2. Strong Potential

The production process of Kembali? also involves familiar names in the music scene of the homeland. This song is produced by Ravi Andika and Putra Prastyo from Closehead, with additional guitar instrumentation by Saprol (Closehead) and bass by Edwin Simarmata.

“Actually, this song was produced in 2023 but had to be postponed. Arranging a song that has been produced before is actually more difficult than arranging a new one,” he added.

With a modern sound and a theme that resonates with the daily lives of many people, Kembali? becomes a strong potential work to reach more listeners' hearts.
