t seems there are more love songs than oxygen these days. That being said, the love songs on Raisa’s fifth original studio album, ambiVert, hit different.
From the serene “Semua Di Sini” (Everything is here) to the stormy “Terserah” (Up to you), these pop songs come from the lyrical penmanship and the voice of someone who has seen it all.
Interestingly, when ambiVert dropped on June 24, it arrived at a time when local audiences were no longer interested in ballads about romantic naïveté and inexperienced love.
Instead, they seem more eager to learn the truth about life and love from much wiser, more mature artists. Perhaps ambiVert is just the ticket from which such listeners can gain more wisdom about this mad world.
As Raisa said, “When it comes to my songs, I want to convey that it’s OK if we’re feeling melancholy, but we shouldn’t let it last. We should continue to remember our self-worth. We should remember to love ourselves.”
