Theme and background

LEXICON became Isyana Sarasvati's third album after releasing the album Explore! which was released in November 2015 and Paradox in September 2017. Different from the previous two albums in the Pop and R&B genres, LEXICON album carries a theatrical theme which is the classic or opera genre is Isyana's true identity. All the songs on the LEXICON album are neo classic and one song with a progressive rock genre entitled "Lexicon". On this album, Isyana tries to show her idealism side.

LEXICON contains eight song numbers that have been prepared since the end of 2018, but were not immediately given to the Sony Music Entertainment label. The album's introduction was made since releasing the single "untuk hati yang terluka.", "ragu Semesta", as well as the most recent "Sikap Duniawi", released in conjunction with LEXICON. On the day of the release of the album, Isyana also held an intimate showcase for 100 lucky fans and other invited guests. [3]

I likened LEXICON to a dictionary. I want friends who want to know Isyana Sarasvati more deeply to enter an episode of Isyana's journey that has never been revealed anywhere. I like giving a dictionary of my life wrapped in melody, instrumentation with lyrics.

Isyana Sarasvati's said at Shoemaker, Cikini, Central Jakarta, Friday, November 29, 2019.

LEXICON summarizes several episodes of Isyana Sarasvati's journey. What's different, this time Isyana freed herself from the production, the selection of producers involved, to the concept of a special box set. The album is produced by Isyana Sarasvati with Gerald Situmorang, Kenan Loui, and Tohpati. The work of the LEXICON album was done for one month until finally it was released to close this November. Isyana played a full role in the arrangement of songs in the album. [4]
