[3] From most of his songs, he chose twelve of them to be sung by young singers. He said that the album originally had thirty tracks, then shrunk to twenty as an official from Sony Music Jan Djuhana announced them and finally shrunk to nine in which representing songs' harmony and theme, including songs by Krakatau and soundtracks from the TV series. He also wrote and self-arranged three new songs, "Lamalera's Dream", "We Are Many We Are One", and "Kerinduanku" ("My Longing"). [4] It was preceded by the album's lead single and title track "Imaji" ("Image") sung by Shena Malsiana, released on 11 December 2013, [5] which received positive reviews, including its rearrangement. [6] The album itself released digitally on 6 February, followed by the physical release on 25 February. [4]
