Check out our latest music video — by The Edoens

We are delighted to present our a cappella rendition of “Untukku” (For Me), a heartfelt Indonesian pop ballad composed by the talented songwriter and musician, Yovie Widianto. This romantic song beautifully encapsulates themes of love, unwavering devotion, and the profound yearning for a distant loved one.
 
“Untukku” gained immense popularity through its rendition by Chrisye (1949-2007), an iconic figure in Indonesian music history. Chrisye, renowned as one of Indonesia’s most influential and cherished pop singers and songwriters, lent his unique voice and artistry to this timeless piece. His interpretation of the song added a layer of emotional depth that resonated deeply with listeners, cementing “Untukku” as a classic in the Indonesian music canon.
 
In Memoriam Chrisye 😍. Thank you for the music and Happy Birthday (16 September).
