KIM Present In The Middle Of The Quiet National Vocal Group Skena

JAKARTA - There are times when the music industry is enlivened by boybands, girlbands and vocal groups who are very dominant on the small screen. Slowly, it is getting eroded, now only a number of names are consistent with the vocal group format, one of which is KIM.

Strengthened by Arsy Widianto, Rachel Rae and Gusty Pratama, KIM fills the rare vocal group in today's pop music scene. This trio has only released two singles since it was formed in 2023.

The Java Jazz Festival 2024 is one of the important stages for the three. They also succeeded in entertaining when appearing in the third day of the event, Sunday, May 26.

Two original songs were performed, entitled 'It's Impossible' and 'Akibat Too Beautiful'. Arsy, Rachel and Gusty share more solo parts, with occasionally presenting vocal harmony.

As usually expected from pop vocal groups, the theme of love songs and heartbreak is still a safe choice. Appearing impressively, but it must be admitted that the response of the Java Jazz audience was still more lively when KIM performed songs by Yovie Widianto which were popularized by Chrisye and Kahitna.

The atmosphere is even more lively, especially when Kahitna's song 'Beautiful' was performed. Sure enough, this song never failed to become a crowd pleaser. Especially with the accompaniment of the live band, the stage action feels even more alive.

Still debuting a year, of course there are still many things that KIM can explore. Hopefully, it doesn't get stuck with classic repertoars and develops as a music entity that is more characteristic.
