Emerging as one of the most exciting new voices in R&B and pop, Indonesian-born, Singapore-based multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter, and producer, Rangga Jones, serves up a smooth and soulful sound in his emotive new single, “Move On”, out today. The track is a soulful blend of a gently strummed guitar, infectious drums, and melodies that linger long after the song ends.
“Move On” offers an intimate window into Rangga’s personal evolution, as he reflects on the journey of moving past the heartbreak of a past relationship. The idea for the track came to him during a solo trip to Tokyo.
“I remembered browsing through sounds in my hotel room and found the guitar melody, and I instantly knew I wanted to write about accepting and finally moving on from my 7-year past relationship.” Rangga Jones shares. “The song honestly wrote itself,” he continues. “I didn’t have to think of the lyrics at all and I let my emotions and thoughts do their thing. When I finished the song, I felt some sort of “relief” because I finally got all the words and feelings out from the heartbreak I went through.“
This release also offers a glimpse into Rangga’s highly anticipated sophomore album, ‘Everything I’ve Wanted To Say’, set for release this May. The single serves as a perfect introduction to the forthcoming record, highlighting Rangga’s artistic growth and his ability to craft deeply introspective yet universally accessible music.
