Starting a New Era with Work, Syahravi Releases 'Own Me'

Kapanlagi.com - Singer, songwriter, and talented producer Syahravi is back with his latest single, Own Me. This song depicts the longing for a deep connection in the midst of an era of relationships that are often filled with tricks and ambiguity.

Own Me was officially released on February 7, 2025, across all digital streaming platforms. After successfully re-releasing the song Diantara Kata by Indonesian music maestro, Fariz RM, in October 2024, Syahravi delved into the inspiration of classic Indonesian pop music from the 1980s and 1990s.

The positive response from Fariz RM himself and the listeners became Syahravi's main motivation in creating Own Me. As a musician, Syahravi's journey in finding the sound he presents in Own Me has been an enjoyable and eye-opening experience.

1. Desire to Be Owned

He realized that he was actually more inspired by music and events from the past. The new wave genre and the use of synth, which are characteristic and pioneered by Fariz RM, greatly influenced Syahravi in creating his music.

This song presents a dynamic aesthetic of classic pop music combined with modern elements, such as electronic touches and the distinctive guitar play of Syahravi. Its straightforward lyrics tell the desire to be fully owned in love, a universal theme that is relevant to the current generation.

2. Involve Talented Musicians

The song "Miliki Aku" is crafted meticulously and involves collaboration with talented musicians, such as Agung Munthe on keyboards and synthesizers, Ankadiov Subran on electric bass, and the mixing and mastering process handled by Stevano at Sembunyi Studios.

This song also serves as the opener for Syahravi's latest EP, which will be released in May 2025. The EP will contain three additional songs with themes of love, self-exploration, and connection. All songs in this EP will blend the spirit of classic Indonesian pop music with Syahravi's distinctive modern style.
