AFTER releasing his latest single entitled 123 on February 14 2024 simultaneously and exclusively on 123 radio in Indonesia, on March 1 2024, Ravi Andika released the single 123 again on various digital streaming platforms. He also released a lyric video for single 123 on Youtube @raviandika.
This single was written and produced by Ravi Andika himself. In its production, Putra Prastyo (Closehead) was involved as a co-producer, and Saprol (Closehead) filled in the guitar track on this single.
“This song tells the story of falling in love but told from another point of view. “That falling in love is fun, but in reality it’s not as easy as counting 1, 2 and 3. So it’s not that simple,” said Ravi Andika.
Escaping the stereotypical trap in writing lyrics is one of Ravi Andika’s strengths. Even though this single has the theme of love, Ravi Andika can convey it from a different perspective.

In this single, Ravi Andika’s exploration is very visible. The sound selection and arrangements are heavily influenced by 80’s synthwave nuances, but wrapped in a fairly modern sound system.
However, from the various musical explorations carried out, the notation presented still represents Ravi Andika’s character. The notes are light, not complicated, and you don’t need to frown to enjoy them.
The concept of a lyric video with 8-bit visuals was chosen as the visual representation of this song. The visuals in this lyric video feel in harmony with the music presented.

The 80s synthwave feel combined with 8-bit gaming console style visuals gives a nostalgic influence for those who have gone through the 80s era and becomes a fresh audio visual presentation for the younger generation.
Apart from this single’s relationship with the theme of falling in love, this single is also relevant to the presidential election which falls at the same time. Simply put, falling in love is always faced with choices, promises and commitments. Three things are also big considerations when choosing a leader. In relation to single 123, of course, in this presidential election we are faced with 3 choices.
123 marks a new chapter in Ravi Andika’s musical journey. The single is the preamble to the post-prototype and is the opening of Ravi Andika’s full album entitled Interval, which will be released in 2024. (RO/Z-1)
