REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, DEPOK \u2013 Musician Danilla Riyadi will release a new\nalbum titled Candramawa. Unlike her previous works, this album\nrepresents Danilla\u2019s exploration of combining the spirit of the analogue\nand digital eras, while also responding to changes in music consumption\npatterns in the age of social media.<\/p>\n
The title Candramawa itself comes from Javanese and means black and\nwhite. This philosophy becomes the central theme in the overall concept\nof the album, reflecting the contrast between the past and the\npresent.<\/p>\n
\u201cI grew up in the analogue era, unlike now where you can create\nplaylists as you like. Nowadays, people listen to songs in snippets and\ncan also create their own playlists. That\u2019s why I tried to incorporate\nthis into my new album,\u201d said Danilla when she was a speaker at the Out\nLoud Republika event held at the University of Indonesia, Thursday\n(26\/2\/2026).<\/p>\n
Danilla revealed that this album will only contain eight songs with a\ntotal duration of approximately 30 minutes. This decision was made in\nresponse to current music listening habits, which have changed\nsignificantly.<\/p>\n
She explained that listeners\u2019 attention spans have become shorter due\nto the constant flow of social media. Many people only know the chorus\nof a song without really listening to the entire composition.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow people might listen to a song for only 15 seconds. They know the\nchorus, but they don\u2019t know what the beginning is like. That\u2019s why for\nthis album, I want to create something short and enjoyable for myself,\u201d\nsaid Danilla.<\/p>\n
She also hopes that the album, which will be released in June, can be\nlistened to in its entirety by all listeners, both those who are\naccustomed to the analogue era and those who are accustomed to the\ndigital era. \u201cHopefully, if the album is 30 minutes long, it will be\nwell received and people can enjoy listening to the music,\u201d said\nDanilla.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/candramawa-the-meaning-behind-danilla-riyadis-latest-album-philosophy-1772161112", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
