Atlesta - SINCERELY FOREVER (2023) Hi Res

Singer-songwriter from Malang, Atlesta released his fourth album, 'SINCERELY FOREVER'. Released on February 17, 2023, this is Atlesta's most solid album so far.

Fifan Christa, the name behind Atlesta, has taken 10 years by exploring a musical career. Consistent on the electro-pop track, he managed to spawn 3 full-length albums: Secret Talking, his reckless debut in 2012; Sensation, her sophomore classy in 2014; and Gestures, his cinematic ambitions in 2017. Even then, he added a side-album (INNER FEELINGS COLLECTION PART. 1) and several separate singles.

“This album is an album I LOVE SO MUCH!” Fifan exclaimed starting his various stories. When asked what this statement meant, he gave two main points.

First: Apart from songwriting and mastering by Wendi Arintyo (ALS Studio), all of the material was arranged, produced, recorded and mixed by himself. From scratch! The process is approximately 5 years. Starting from workshops, silence, workshops again, delayed due to the pandemic, until finally finished and presented in full. even!

Second: Sincerely Forever is his album at the age of 30. Quoting himself, “At the age of 30 as the eldest child (also a boy), life demands more and more. Yes bills, yes plans for the future, things that make you worry and disturb your mind. Not to mention yesterday's pandemic which totally restarted my career."

In the current phase of his life, he admits that he can "make peace", both with himself and circumstances. To himself, he admits to being a more clumsy person. Still a perfectionist as befits the Virgoan image, but more compromised. This album is proof of that. Unlike his previous three albums, he released them relatively effortlessly. "In the past (when making an album) I liked to think. Well, how about it later? Do people like it or not? So it's a burden on myself," he said.
