Release of "The New One", Yovie & Nuno Spread a Nuance of Optimism and New Spirit

Kapanlagi.com - After almost two years without new releases, Yovie & Nuno are back with a surprise for their fans. In 2024, the band, now consisting of Ady Julian (keyboard), Adhyra Yudhi (vocals), Chico Andreas (vocals), and Muchamad Ahadiyat or Kang Diat (guitar), released a single titled “The New.” This song was written by Arsy Widianto and Yovie Widianto, while the music arrangement was handled by all band members, resulting in a fresh yet distinctive sound.

“We are still carrying the theme of love for this new single,” said Kang Diat. “This song tells the story of someone who has been harboring old feelings, and when he finds out that his crush's relationship is in trouble, he comes back closer,” he added.

“The New” is scheduled for release on October 25, although the work has been done since the end of 2022, alongside the single “Misal.” “The recording process was quite fast, about a week. The vocals were completed in a day, but filling in parts like strings took longer. We waited for the right moment, which is why it is only being released now,” explained Diat.

Working on two songs simultaneously certainly presents challenges, especially since the vocal characters of Adhyra and Chico are quite different. “In every process, there are always challenges. This time, we had to ensure the different notations between ‘The New’ and ‘Misal,’” said Adhyra. He added, “If ‘Misal’ has a more mellow vibe, ‘The New’ leans more towards an energetic hangout vibe.”

After a long gap since the release of "Misal," the song "The New One" brings a new nuance for Indonesian music fans. "While 'Misal' highlighted the vocals of Adhyra and Chico, 'The New One' invites listeners back to the old era of Yovie & Nuno, with a slight modern touch," said Diat. This provides a different listening experience for the audience.

The upbeat nuance in "The New One" carries a positive message to not get stuck in the past. "This is a philosophy to always seek the new," said Ady Julian. "Never be tied to the past," he added. The song conveys a message for listeners to remain optimistic and move forward.

For those in a situation similar to the story of this song, Adhyra conveys a special message. "Believe, opportunities are always there," she said. This message is relevant for listeners who are experiencing similar feelings to the story in this song, emphasizing that there is hope in every phase of life.

2. A New Era

Ady Julian added that “The New” becomes a representation of a new era for Yovie & Nuno with the presence of a new member. “This song is like a new chapter for us, depicting freshness and full of hope,” he said. He hopes this song can be accepted and provide positive energy for the listeners.

Kang Diat also has high hopes for this new formation of Yovie & Nuno. “We want ‘The New’ to bring a new color to our musical journey. From the music to the music video, we hope listeners can feel the spirit and optimism that we offer,” he concluded.
