Kapanlagi.com - Re.viv.al has created unique songs in their new album compared to before, but these songs can still be sung along and are up-to-date. Regardless of many factors, Re.viv.al finally worked on this 16-year moment at the right time.
re.viv.al is the beginning of the third phase of Drive's career journey. The first era was from 2007-2011, the second from 2011-2021, and the third began in 2021. The process started in 2018 when Arizki & Rudy Joe joined.
Together with Budi Rahardjo & Dygo Pratama, they solidified their collaboration by creating 5 singles and 1 film soundtrack before finally deciding to make their sixth album. As a result, there are 4 new songs and 1 old song that has been rearranged.
1. Logo Change

In addition, there have been significant changes to the band's logo and artwork theme. As seen above, this new logo implies a timeless musical spirit, as well as limitless creativity.
Meanwhile, the artwork for this project is very ambitious. It is both original and imaginative, featuring a character named Athena. The creation of this character is accompanied by a narration about her background.
As an opener, the single "Love Can Be So Rough" is an interesting choice. Budi Rahardjo (affectionately called Bhusdeq), the composer, finds it difficult to describe the music of this single. "Just listen to it," he replied briefly.
2. Mixing American Rock Bands' Music
Because after listening to it, it feels like no band/artist has ever made music like this, especially in Indonesia. "To make it easier to understand, it's more like 'American Rock,'" answered Dygo Pratama. "Because it's a mix of elements from American rock bands, even EDM."
This song is one of the three in English. Go international? "It's 2021... no more 'go international'!" replied Bhusdeq. "The use of language in song lyrics nowadays is more towards phonetics.
3. Can Make Songs in Any Language
You can make songs in any language, as long as they sound good. In addition, since music can be sold through streaming on the internet, there are no more local or national artists. All artists are international because they can be heard worldwide. Language is a practical choice, no longer tactical.
Containing the element of 'love', this song's lyrics actually describe a different side of love. While most songs praise the beauty of love, in this song, love is portrayed according to reality: not smooth, full of struggle, and even secrets from the past.
