JAKARTA - The Indonesian music industry has a new player. Pop-rock units from Jakarta, Story 5, which consists of Madis Danardi (vocals), David Ada Bass (bass), and Siwan BNY (guitar), introduced themselves to Indonesian music lovers by launching their debut single titled Bangkam Hatimu.

This song tells the story of two people who greet each other but do not understand what causes that love to emerge and continue to grow.

Quoting the expression from Mr. President Jancukers, Sudjiwo Tedjo, that if you love someone, it has a reason, then it is no longer love. It is calculations," said Madis, who wrote this song, in his statement, Thursday, January 30.

Through this song, the songwriter believes that only time can determine the end of the sincerity of love. Therefore, as long as there is still time for fire, it is a must, which is also a gratitude to the Almighty.

Meanwhile, the music arrangement is inspired by well-known bands that inspire Story 5 personnel, such as Mr. Big, Matchbox 20, The Calling, Journey, to NOAH. The thick pop-rock sounds, are made in line with the stories they want to show.

In the process of cultivating it, each personnel has its own role, filling each other through their respective musical abilities.

"The production of this song is running, with each member having their own roles, such as Madis who makes lyrics and songs, Siwan who makes the song even more sweet, and I supervise the post-production process," said David.

"Of course, in the process of producing the song, each personnel will provide input. All input is received and each of them responds maturely," he added.

Bangkam Hatimu is a gate for Story 5 in starting its musical journey this year. This song is also the opening, where another single will be present in February and the extended play (EP) debut is planned for release in March.

Meanwhile, Dangkam Hatimu was chosen as the debut single because this song was felt special, where the lyrics were very personal, and became the most prepared in terms of material and promotion.

"With your heart bang, we intend to be able to educate listeners' hearts and ears, so they have feelings like 'first love' to Story 5," Madis said.

Story 5 has great hopes for its debut. They want to bring the golden age of pop-rock music with a touch of synthesizers to young listeners, especially Gen Z. They also want to be part of the Indonesian music industry which has uniqueness and musical quality through their work.
