Reza Oktovian, Eka Gustiwana, Gerald Liu; the three now known as Weird Genius started making music together in year 2016. Each used to work on their own projects. Soon as the merge, they transmit everything they excel at into this collaborative venture. They draw inspirations from everywhere; what is coming out of love to life, social to gaming. The group self-describe their music as hard, upbeat, pumping, crazy-drop. This sound style is something they consciously develop since the beginning.
Launching the first digital single in 2020, Weird Genius joins singer and rapper from Surabaya, Sara Fajira. The latest single titled 'LATHI' is available via download and streaming on all digital music platforms starting February 28, 2020.
Staying on the electronic dance music track, they played a pumping beat entry that could not be separated from the main characteristic of Weird Genius, which is to combine traditional elements in every music. This time the Javanese culture was very thick even from the first note of the song to the end, plus a bridge using Javanese lyrics that was sung with the style of sinden by Sara.
"The producing & recording process is quite fast, approximately one month. The lyrics are inspired by personal experiences that many couples might have experienced and were written by Weird Genius with Sara Fajira. Musically, we balance EDM and modern English with traditional culture from Javanese instruments and lyrics, "explained Weird Genius.
The lyrics of this English song speak of a love relationship full of lies and egos that 'says' love but only hurts. Despite emphasising the dark side of the relationship, upbeat music and honest lyrics bring the implied meaning of courage and a strong stand in the face of 'a toxic relationship'. Described in a piece of Javanese lyrics "Kowe ra iso mlayu saka kesalahan. Ajining diri ana ing lathi", meaning "You cannot run away from mistakes. A person's self-esteem is on the tongue (words)", taken from the old Javanese proverb "Ajining soko lathi, ajining rogo soko busono."

The Inspiring Weight Loss Journey of Kelly Clarkson: Lessons for a Healthier You
Kelly Clarkson, the award-winning singer and talk show host, has been open about her struggles with weight loss over the years. From struggling to lose pounds after pregnancy to maintaining a healthy lifestyle while touring and hosting her show, Clarkson's journey is relatable to many.
The Role of Mindful Eating in Achieving Weight Loss Goals
Clarkson credits mindful eating as one of the key factors that helped her achieve her desired weight loss. She emphasizes the importance of savoring each bite, paying attention to hunger cues, and avoiding distractions while eating. "I used to eat so quickly," Clarkson shares on an episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show. "But now I take my time; I breathe before every meal." This mindful approach has not only helped her maintain a healthy weight but also improved digestion.
How Stress Affects Weight Loss: Managing Cortisol for Better Results
Clarkson, like many women, struggles with stress and its impact on her weight loss journey. "When I get stressed out or overwhelmed," she says, "I tend to gain weight." The science behind this phenomenon is rooted in cortisol production - when we experience stress, our body releases more cortisol into the bloodstream. Elevated levels of cortisol can lead to increased hunger, inflammation, and belly fat accumulation. Clarkson practices yoga and meditation regularly to manage her stress levels.
Understanding Metabolism: How to Boost Your Body's Fat-Burning Power
Clarkson has also spoken about how boosting her metabolism was a game-changer for her weight loss journey. "Exercise does something amazing; it just revs up your metabolism," she notes on an episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show. Regular physical activity, such as cardio and strength training exercises, can indeed help boost resting metabolic rate (RMR) - the number of calories burned while at rest.
The Benefits of Sleep in Weight Loss: Rest Matters
In addition to a balanced diet and regular exercise routine, sufficient sleep is another essential component for weight loss. "Sleep is huge; it really affects your metabolism," Clarkson shares on an episode of The Kelly Show. Research supports this claim - poor sleep has been linked with decreased leptin (a hormone that suppresses appetite) production, increased ghrelin levels (which stimulates hunger), and lower insulin sensitivity.
Overcoming Weight Loss Plateaus: Lessons from a Real-Life Example
Clarkson's journey to her desired weight was not without its plateaus. However, the singer attributes breaking through these barriers to incorporating diverse forms of exercise into her routine - everything from brisk walking with friends to swimming laps for fun. This approach allowed her body (and mind) to stay engaged and motivated.
The Role of Hydration in Weight Loss: Staying on Track
While many focus on diet when it comes to weight loss, adequate hydration is also crucial. "Water has been a lifesaver," Clarkson shares about using water as an appetite suppressant - helping her stay full between meals while maintaining proper nutrition. Drinking enough water can even improve digestion and support healthy metabolism.
Why Staying Motivated Matters for Long-Term Weight Loss Success
Throughout her journey, Kelly Clarkson maintains motivation through various techniques, including setting realistic goals, finding a workout buddy or accountability partner (even if it's just virtually), celebrating milestones no matter how small they may seem - all while focusing on overall health rather than the number on the scale.
