El Putra Sarira discusses musical influences and new song ‘Memoria’

Indonesian actor and singer El Putra Sarira has expressed his admiration for the music of American pop-rock artist Olivia Rodrigo. During the launch of his new song, ‘Memoria’, in South Jakarta, El discussed his mood-oriented approach to music selection.

He shared that he curates specific playlists to manage his emotions, using certain tracks to boost his spirits or to embrace melancholic moments. His new release, ‘Memoria’, was inspired by his college memories in Makassar and has been interpreted by listeners as both a song about youth romance and a sentimental piece regarding parents letting go of their children.
