JAKARTA - Pop duo from Jakarta, The Cottons is back with a new work after eight years of disappearance. The group consisting of husband and wife couple Eliap Tambun and Kaneko Pardede introduced a mini album with the title Hope.

This album will contain four new songs, which are also the debut albums of The Cottons. This is their response after it was felt that many people heard "It's Only a Day" and "Yesterday is Gone" which was actually released in 2016.

David Tarigan, a local musician and music activist, assessed the return of The Cottons with a new song as a breath of fresh air for Indonesian pop music. The reason is, he considered two singles that had been released eight years ago as good work.

The Cottons almost became a myth. For eight years before 'Hope' appeared, many friends and I loved their debut singles, Yesterday is Gone and It's Only a Day, got no clarity about the artist and his work, "said David Tarigan.

"It's a bit sad, because it could be that the future of Indonesian pop is in them. The two tracks are extraordinary, now they can be considered as classic works of pop underground this country," he continued.

Sekarang, akhirnya, musik pop Indonesia memiliki harapan,

In this mini album, The Cottons again offers sweet pop music that is rich in terms of musical composition. Another thing that is interesting is that the process of developing The Cottons is felt through the notes of the songs presented.

Meanwhile, the mini album Hope can be heard exclusively through thecottons.bandcamp.com starting June 1, 2024 and can be heard widely through digital streaming services on June 8.
