Production

Nona was Chrisye's third and final collaboration with Eros Djarot and Jockie Soerjoprajogo after they previously working together on Resesi and Metropolitan . ^{[1] [2]} Like his previous albums, Nona mainly highlights social criticism. ^[2]

On the album, Chrisye provided lead vocals and played bass, while Soerjoprajogo played keyboards and percussions. They were joined by Ian Antono on guitars and Uce Hudioro on drums and percussions. ^[1] Djarot composed seven songs in the album while Jockie composed the other three. ^[1] Singer, Hetty Koes Endang provided guest vocals on two songs, namely "Sayang" ("Dear") and "Gadis Manja" ("Cute Girl"). ^[1] Jockie provided backing vocals for "Gadis Manja" and serves as the arranger. ^[1] There is a song called "Selamat Datang Anakku" ("Welcome, My Child"), which was specially dedicated by Chrisye to his eldest daughter, Rizkia Nurannisa. ^[2]

Release and reception

The album was released in 1984 and spawned four singles, including the title track. It was well received and being certified platinum. Despite Nona's warm sales, after some influence from Aciu Widjaja, Chrisye decided to look for a new sound and broke off his partnership with Djarot and Jockie in mid-1984. ^{[3] [4]}

Nona has been reissued twice, once as a CD in 2004 ^[5] and once as part of the Chrisye Masterpiece Trilogy Limited Edition in 2007. ^[6]
