Afgan released his new EP ‘+62’ alongside the music video for ‘Lestari Merdu’, the EP’s upbeat first single, on August 26. The three-track EP is Afgan’s first project since his ‘Wallflower’ album in April last year and follows the release of the single ‘So Wrong But So Right’ on the singer’s birthday on May 27.

Afgan also collaborated with producer and DJ Dipha Barus and singer-songwriter Esther Geraldine on the former’s single, ‘Keep It Hush’ in November last year.

In an interview with NME after the release of his album ‘Wallflower’, he expressed a desire to explore beyond his trademark balladry, saying: “I really wanted to be truthful on this album because I never get the chance to make this kind of music that is really authentic [to me]. In Indo, I’m so used to making these Indonesian pop love songs. But I feel like I have something much more to offer.”

Afgan released his first ‘global’ album ‘Wallflower’ under US label EMPIRE. It featured the singles ‘Say I’m Sorry’ and ‘M.I.A’, the latter of which featured Jackson Wang. As part of the album’s campaign, he also put out a remix of ‘Touch Me’, a collaboration with Robin Thicke.
