Dark pop singer Riani Sovana announced the release of her newest song and album, entitled Cenayang, today, Thursday (31/10).
Different from the previous single, the song Cenayang sounds quirky with circus nuanced music.
“I grew up watching the circus. There was excitement there, as well as a sense of awe and a tense heartbeat while watching. “The sensation is similar to falling in love,” explained Riani Sovana.
Film composer Aghi Narottama answered Sovana’s challenge by becoming the music director for Cenayang’s songs. Not haphazardly, Aghi first researched music from the world circus group Cirque du Soleil before starting to arrange it.
“Mr Aghi’s enthusiasm is extraordinary. “A musician who really enjoys the creation process, but is also very open to my ideas, which are sometimes a little absurd,” said Sovana about her collaboration with Aghi Narottama.
Psychic songs are captured from the heart of someone who is meeting and chatting with the person they are talking to for the first time, but they feel so understood as if they have known them for a long time.
For Sovana, who also acts as the composer of the song and lyrics of this song, the song Cenayang has its own meaning.
“For me, the song ‘Cenayang’ is an embodiment of embracing oneself—loving one’s strengths and weaknesses. Because even if the world thinks we’re strange, there will be someone (or several people) who understand us. “So, don’t be afraid to be yourself, and embrace our uniqueness,” stressed Sovana.
Cenayang is the last song released for Riani Sovana’s third album. The video clip will be released later, in collaboration with cinematographer and director Faozan Rizal.
Meanwhile, the other songs on the album are a collection of singles that Sovana has released from 2019 to 2023, all of which have a cinematic music theme. Atiek CB, Thomas Ramdhan, Denny Chasmala, and Popo Fauza are a number of collaborators on the Cenayang album.
“Are you psychic? Or a wandering spirit? Whoever you are, you understand me.” These are some of the lyrics from the song Cenayang which can be heard on various digital streaming platforms starting October 31 2024. (Z-1)
