Ready to Pursue a Career in the Professional Music World, Janita Gabriela Releases Debut Single 'Kukira Selamanya'

Kapanlagi.com - The name Janita Gabriela may not be unfamiliar to some people because she once amazed the judges of The Voice in 2016 with her melodious vocals. Now, under the auspices of Sony Music Entertainment Indonesia, the girl born on June 30, 1999 is ready to release her debut single entitled Kukira Selamanya. Created by Resa Husin, Janita apparently also helped a little with the lyrics.

"When I first received the demo of this song, I immediately liked the musical notation because it was very touching. In addition, this song genre is the genre that I usually sing, so it feels easier when I sing it. The story is about the disappointment of a girl who has high hopes for her partner. They have been in a relationship for a long time, but in the end, they cannot be together. So, the pain is twice as much," Janita explained about her song.

"The recording process was quite long because it had to start with a guide take, then continued to the recording process." Many things were changed, from lyrics to notation. I think the challenge during recording is when there are changes in the lyrics to make the song feel more intense. I have to adapt and immerse myself again in the meaning that I want to convey so that the message can reach the listeners of this song," continued the fan of Ariana Grande and Mariah Carey.

Interested in the world of music since childhood, Janita's vocal talent apparently runs in her family, most of whom are musicians. From singing in church to being a fan of the voices of Judika, Dira Sugandi, and Sandhy Sondoro, she decided to hone her talent through various festivals, participating in talent search events like The Voice, and covering famous songs on YouTube. She admits that joining Sony Music label was accidental.

"At that time, one of the A&R from Sony Music came when I was performing at a venue. From there, they were interested in my talent and invited me to collaborate to enter the professional music world. Now, my debut single with Sony Music will soon be released. I feel happy and proud of myself because I was given the opportunity to develop my talent," she said.
