About this Song
The Indonesian R&B artist behind Bukan-Bukan builds their creative practice around the core of what makes the genre a globally resonant force, leaning into its ability to carry complex, nuanced emotional expression while adapting its frameworks to fit the cultural context that shapes all of their work. As an artist rooted in Indonesia’s vast, interconnected music scene, they contribute to a long line of creators from the archipelago who have reimagined R&B to serve their own creative visions, turning a genre with global reach into a space where local identity can take center stage, rather than forcing their work to fit narrow, external ideas of what R&B should sound like. Bukan-Bukan emerges from this ongoing legacy of innovation, a sound that aligns with the artist’s consistent focus on using R&B as a foundation to explore the full range of their creative capacity, refining the throughline that connects all of their output into a cohesive artistic identity.
