Angger Bayu Aji Releases Song 'Jangan Buat Kesal', Offers a New Color in Indonesian Indie Pop Music

Kapanlagi.com - Independent musician Angger Bayu Aji has released his latest single titled 'Jangan Buat Kesal', a song themed around interpersonal relationships wrapped in an 80s indie pop vibe combined with modern minimalist production. This song is part of Angger's consistent efforts to strengthen his position and artistic identity in the music industry at home, especially in the increasingly developing indie pop segment in recent years.

In his official statement, Angger explained that this song talks about the small dynamics in a couple's relationship—seemingly trivial things like coming home from work, watching movies on weekends, to simple expressions like "don't go alone." Although it sounds light, the message of this song touches on a universal emotional aspect.

"'Jangan Buat Kesal' was written from personal observations and experiences. The music does lean towards retro, but in terms of production, we ensure it remains relevant for today's listeners," said Angger.

1. Reviving the 80s Era

Musically, this song combines elements of retro synth-pop, soft electronic beats, and a simple yet powerful lyrical structure. This style recalls the global trend where musicians revive the 80s era, but still with a contemporary approach.

In terms of distribution, 'Don't Make Me Annoyed' is already available on various digital platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube Music. Angger is also preparing two versions of the music video: one in the form of a retro-futuristic 2D animation, and the other live-action featuring young Indonesian actors, as a visual strategy and cross-platform promotion.

2. A Breath of Fresh Air in the Digital Music Industry

This step is considered in line with the current music content marketing trends that emphasize cross-media storytelling and strong visual approaches to expand audience reach.

With this release, Angger Bayu Aji is seen as able to bring a breath of fresh air amidst the crowded digital music industry, while also strengthening the position of independent musicians within the national creative economy ecosystem.
