Salsa shares with us a playlist shaped by the aftermath of her long-term breakup. It starts with denial, spirals into a rage that is quiet, and slowly settles into acceptance; only to uncover a truth much worse. Through NIKI, YUGYEOM, rumahsakit, and a return to Javanese songs by NDX A.K.A., she traces every sharp corner of grief that came before the final door shut.

You lost your balance because of someone’s absence who has been there for far too long. You started asking yourself whether you did your best or were just following the stream.
