Maudy Ayunda is set to release her highly anticipated album with the debut of her final single, ‘Puisi Kota’, a moving collaboration with the legendary Iwan Fals. This poignant track, woven with Maudy’s gentle vocals and Iwan’s distinct voice, explores the complexities of urban life – from its noise to its moments of stillness, capturing the beauty hidden within the chaos.
‘Puisi Kota’ reflects a balance of introspection and optimism, addressing the emotional challenges of self-discovery, societal pressures, and the search for meaning in the modern world. Composed by Maudy Ayunda herself, the song invites listeners to find significance in the everyday commotion of life, highlighting how connection and isolation coexist in our fast-paced society.
According to Maudy, “‘Puisi Kota’ emerged from my own reflections as I sought clarity amidst life’s chaos. I’ve always felt that the city, with all its noise, is a place where you can feel both lost and found. Within that noise, there’s also a space for introspection and reconnection. This song embodies the tension between these feelings and the quest for personal peace in an overwhelming world.”
Maudy hopes that listeners will learn to embrace both the noise and silence in their lives, recognizing the inherent beauty in the chaos that shapes us. “I want people to understand that even in the midst of all the struggles, there’s beauty in finding meaning and purpose in the journey.”
The collaboration between Maudy Ayunda and Iwan Fals represents a powerful intersection of two generations of Indonesian artists who share a passion for storytelling. Maudy reflects on how Iwan’s music has greatly influenced Indonesian culture, saying, “His voice adds so much depth to ‘Puisi Kota’, making it a story much bigger than the two of us. It’s about the search for meaning in the urban experience, and the everyday struggles we all face.”
Iwan Fals adds, “Maudy’s voice and mine come together in a way that enhances the message of the song. ‘Puisi Kota’ speaks to everyone who’s ever felt overwhelmed by the city but found meaning in the journey, and Maudy’s raw passion brings this story to life.”
The release of ‘Puisi Kota’ is the final preview before Maudy Ayunda’s album “Pada Suatu Hari” drops on December 3, 2024. This album marks a significant evolution in Maudy’s musical career, offering an intimate look at her personal growth and artistic transformation. It’s not just a collection of songs but a window into her vulnerability, exploring themes like mental health, resilience, self-acceptance, and love—issues that resonate universally.
‘Puisi Kota’ is available on all streaming platforms, and fans can pre-save the full album “Pada Suatu Hari” ahead of its release next month.
