Bingkai Karya – For Adifa, music has always been the most comforting space to tell stories. And this time, her story takes shape in her debut mini album, “with love, Adifa“. Released under Trinity Optima Production, this EP features three tracks that not only capture the emotional journey of a young woman but also reflect Adifa’s courage to embrace and reveal her most vulnerable self.
“I’m so happy this mini album is finally out… though I’m also a bit nervous, because it shows sides of me I used to be afraid to share,” Adifa said with a laugh. “I remember so many moments during the production process—trying to come up with lyrics for ‘Mirip Dirimu’, or hearing the demo for ‘Lekas Pulang’ from Kak Aldi [Nada Permana] for the first time and just feeling, ‘Oh, this is it.’ It hit me right away.”
Following her refreshing pop debut “Jatuh Lagi / Benci Lagi” last year, Adifa now returns with two new, softer and more reflective tracks: “Lekas Pulang” and “Mirip Dirimu”. According to Adifa, these songs capture emotions she had never publicly expressed before.“Lekas Pulang holds a new meaning for me now. After recently losing my best friend, the song feels much deeper. Suddenly, every lyric about distance, separation, and longing resonates on a whole new level.”
“You said it’s just temporary /
You said it won’t be long /
But it feels like the world /
Has slowed its turning”
In her acoustic, melancholic single “Lekas Pulang”, Adifa portrays a universal kind of sorrow and waiting. “This kind of sadness from losing someone isn’t just about romantic partners. It could be about a friend, a family member, or anyone dear to you,” she explained.
The song, crafted by Aldi Nada Permana, took Adifa through layers of emotional processing. “I realized that true love can hurt this much when it ends or pauses. I just lost my best friend, and that pain shows how real and deep my love was for her,” she said.
The music video for “Lekas Pulang”, produced by Acierto, visually brings out the emotional emptiness after losing a loved one—specifically a best friend. Through poignant lyrics and Adifa’s soft, haunting voice, the visuals tell a touching story that’s also aesthetically pleasing.
This mini album is far from a solo journey. Adifa expressed her heartfelt gratitude to everyone involved. “Kak Simhala [Avadana], Kak Tintin, Kak Aldi—thank you so much. This would not have been possible without you. And thank you to the Acierto team and the Trinity crew who endured the heat during Ramadan to shoot the video, I’m so grateful,” she said, beaming.
Adifa hopes “with love, Adifa” will become a safe space for anyone navigating their own feelings. “I hope this album touches your heart as genuinely as it does mine. Whether you’re feeling lost, confused, nostalgic, or even joyful, I hope you feel accompanied.”
“with love, Adifa” is available on all digital streaming platforms starting May 21, 2025. The official music video for “Lekas Pulang” is now streaming on Trinity Optima Production’s YouTube channel.
