RAN Returns with the Album 'Teater Nestapa', Offering a Different Story about Love

Kapanlagi.com - The music group RAN, consisting of Rayi, Asta, and Nino, has released their latest album after an eight-year wait since their last album in 2016. Their sixth album titled 'Teater Nestapa' was officially released on October 23, 2024, featuring 11 songs that mark a revival of new spirit on the music stage in the homeland.

"Teater Nestapa actually began with the release of the double single Rahasia #1 and Rahasia #2 in early September 2024," Asta revealed.

"Eight years is too long for a group not to release an album," added Nino Kayam.

1. Present a Different Atmosphere

RAN realizes the importance of setting aside special time to write new material. The result is eleven songs in 'Teater Nestapa' that have a different atmosphere from previous works.

"Usually our songs are more flowery about love, but Teater Nestapa brings another story, a story about sorrow in love," explained Rayi.

2. Accept the Bitter Reality in Life

This album explores the side of love that is often avoided due to the accompanying pain. The stories in 'Teater Nestapa' invite listeners to accept the bitter realities of life.

"We believe many people also realize that sorrow is a part of life that will definitely come into their lives. And our spirit is for everyone to be able to accept that reality," said Asta.

3. Involve Several Producers

For them, suffering is present so that humans can appreciate the happiness that comes afterward. From the arrangement side, RAN also brings something new. They involve several producers in the album-making process to provide a different color.

"If we did it ourselves, the result might end up being the old RAN again," said Rayi.

4. Find Fresh Ideas

RAN chooses producers who already understand their character so they can add a new touch without ruining RAN's distinctive DNA. The workshop sessions held outside Jakarta are also an important part of the creative process for this album. They selected villas in Bogor and Bali as places to gain new inspiration.

"We workshop for about 2-3 days in each city. This is our way of getting away from the noise of the city and finding fresh ideas," said Rayi.

"The maturity of our music is felt in this album, and unknowingly, we also found an important message, which is the importance of disappearing for a while from the noise of the city to calm oneself," added Nino.

5. Reflection for the Listeners

With 'Teater Nestapa', RAN not only presents fresh music but also a profound message about love and life. They hope this album can be a reflection for their listeners, while also affirming their position as one of the most influential music groups in Indonesia.
