Francissca Peter is in no rush to release new music

Veteran singer Francissca Peter, now 65, is not eager to release new music just for the sake of it. After more than four decades in the industry, she sees no urgency in dropping something out of obligation. At 65, she is being increasingly selective, seeking out songs with substance and emotional impact. While she has several new tracks in her collection, she is still refining plans for her return.

Francissca is looking for material that she believes is worth her time and effort. Her standards have become higher over the years, and she only records songs that move her emotionally and leave a lasting impression. One such song, inspired by "Maaf Ku Pinta" by Chevy Amry, has moved her to tears and led to her decision to record it in 2023.

Her long experience in the music scene has made her more discerning about what she chooses to sing. She is currently developing an uptempo song centered on harmony and unity, moving away from her usual ballads. The song, still in the works, aims to convey a message of love and harmony, incorporating elements from Chinese and Indian languages to emphasize unity.

Francissca is also open to collaborations with younger artists from different genres, showing her willingness to step out of her comfort zone and explore new musical territories.
