Yunita’s ‘Tutur Batin’ was released on October 22 last year. The album includes the previously released singles ‘Duhai Sayang’, ‘Tenang’ and ‘Mulai Langkahmu’, and saw the title track receiving a heartfelt music video on March 7 in conjunction with International Women’s Day.

In a statement at the time, the singer shared that the making of the music video had helped her come to terms with her own trauma. “It turned out that the process of accepting myself became lighter as I celebrated my imperfections,” she explained. “From there I learned, matter what you seek, even if you go to the ends of the earth to search for it, if your heart remains empty, it means that what you are looking for is you. Because your best soul is already within you.”

The album grapples with themes of experiencing the five stages of grief and healing from wounds, according to the singer.

Prior to the album’s release, Yunita collaborated with iconic Indonesian rock act Dewa 19 to re-record their hit songs ‘Risalah Hati’ and ‘Kangen’ in July. Dewa 19’s Ahmad Dhani notably personally invited Yunita to his house to record the songs and had composed new orchestral arrangements for the singer.

She also released the singles ‘Tenang’ in April, and ‘Mulai Langkahmu’ in June that year.
