Maudy Ayunda unveils her final single, “Puisi Kota“, ahead of the release of her much-anticipated album, Pada Suatu Hari. This poignant track, a collaboration with legendary Indonesian musician Iwan Fals, is a heartfelt reflection on the bustling rhythm of urban life. Combining Maudy’s soulful vocals with Iwan’s powerful voice, “Puisi Kota” paints a beautiful dialogue that explores the contrasts of city living—the noise, the moments of stillness, and the hidden beauty within.
The song encapsulates the struggles and aspirations of those seeking meaning amidst the chaos of modern life. Maudy, who composed the track, shares that it reflects her own journey of self-discovery, caught between the tension of the city’s overwhelming energy and the peace found within. “The city is both a place of noise and silence, where you can feel lost yet also rediscover yourself,” says Maudy. “’Puisi Kota’ is about finding your rhythm amidst this, embracing the chaos and the quiet that defines our emotional landscapes.”
The track is a metaphor for navigating life’s complexities—societal pressures, inner turmoil, and the search for purpose in a fast-paced world. Maudy hopes that through this song, listeners will learn to appreciate both the loud and silent moments in their lives, as these are the moments that shape us.
Working alongside Iwan Fals, one of Indonesia’s most influential figures, Maudy finds his voice a perfect complement to the song’s message. “Om Iwan has had a monumental impact on Indonesian culture, and his voice gives ‘Puisi Kota’ a depth that truly elevates the song,” Maudy reflects. Iwan Fals, too, praises Maudy’s expressive delivery, saying, “Maudy captured the feeling of being overwhelmed by the city while also discovering something meaningful along the way. Our voices together tell a story that resonates with anyone who’s experienced that journey.”
“Puisi Kota” provides a final preview of Maudy Ayunda’s upcoming album, ‘Pada Suatu Hari’, set for release on December 3, 2024. The album marks a significant milestone in Maudy’s career, offering a fresh and more vulnerable side of the artist. With themes of coming-of-age, mental health, love, and resilience, ‘Pada Suatu Hari’ invites listeners to reflect on their own lives and the world around them.
“Puisi Kota” is available now on all major streaming platforms, and fans can pre-save ‘Pada Suatu Hari’ ahead of its release next month.
