JAKARTA - The spirit of music is independently carried by the pop band from Bogor, Billkiss. They agreed to attend to offer personal, honest, and emotional music.
Membering Maulin (vocals), Qpot (guitar), and Helvi Eriyanti (bass), they present works that are often born from personal experiences and stories of those closest to them. No wonder every song feels so intimate and touching.
One of their mainstay materials is entitled La Gila (2022), an honest confession about someone who never disappears from memory. The lyrics were written by Helvi and arranged in a simple but effective manner, assisted by Acoy to organize the arrangement.
Continuing to 2024 they released 'Rela', a song that was born from a friend's quadrilateral love story. Maulin sings it with feelings, bringing listeners into a dilemma of releasing even though the heart is still holding it.
Last year they also introduced You Are Who', a song about the indifference of the couple that just left. Helvi again expressed disappointment into the lyrics, this time plus a new color through collaboration with Deirda Tahier, the son of vocalist of the band Element.
And it arrived at their latest release, the 'Tah', is a reflection of the longing for 'home' from an immigrant. This song is a sequel to the previous single, I'm You Tau, and is worked on with musicians such as Juna (keyboard), Faza (drums), to Buyung (mixing). Tahtah is also projected to be included in their first full album.

Billkiss music relies on the theme of love, loss, and longing for very human things. They carry pop style with a touch of modern city pop and indie that is catchy but still deep. The lyrics come directly from the experiences of band members, making each song seem to voice the heart of many people.
This unit from Bogor is also preparing the first full album, with La Gila, Rela, and Tahah as part of a big concept they refer to as universe life. Each song becomes a puzzle piece of the interconnected narrative.
With a distinctive character, collaboration across musicians, as well as the courage to appear honest, Billkiss grew into one of the local indie pop bands that deserves to be taken into account. Their music is not just good to hear, but also invites listeners to feel 'and that's what makes them special.
