appy endings and creative emancipation are chronicled in Paradisa, the alt-rock artist’s latest album, which deliberately forgoes the shackles of genre and mainstream-oriented norms.
Jack Alfredo is in a good place and not afraid to flaunt his happiness.
As Romantic Echoes, Jack’s new album Paradisa is described as the final arc of a love story that began with his first studio album, 2020’s Persembahan Dari Masa Lalu (Gift from the past), and continued with 2021’s extended play (EP) Gaung Romantis (Romantic echoes). Like its title implies, Paradisa is an album that brims with love and joy, a happy ending that mirrors Jack’s personal life.
Jack says that life has taught him that happiness is more than just a gift; it is also a lesson.
“There’s a saying, ‘Everything will be beautiful in time,’” the Medan native told The Jakarta Post on Nov. 21, exactly 10 days after Paradisa’s official release. “I finally understand how there is always virtue behind any suffering. That’s why I would have been dishonest and denied God if I closed this story with ugliness instead.”
