Portrait of the JemSoy Trio Launching EP, Inviting Nostalgia for Music Lovers of the 80s and 90s

A trio of musicians from Jakarta known as JemSoy has recently released an EP featuring two tracks titled Tuang Rasa and Cinta Telah Berlalu. Through these two songs, JemSoy leverages their introduction to the current music industry by presenting two citypop genre songs with jazzy touches and a bit of rock on the guitar while highlighting the atmosphere or vibe of the music from the 80s and 90s that is quite thick.

Additionally, both songs from JemSoy are very enjoyable for all layers of society across ages because the songs Tuang Rasa and Cinta Telah Berlalu are very ear-friendly or easy listening. Check out more details below!

"Tuang Rasa is a song that tells the story of the value of love, that love is worth fighting for despite all the challenges and obstacles that exist. Meanwhile, the song Cinta Telah Berlalu tells the story of someone who must endure the pain of a broken heart that seems to become an everlasting wound. This pain, which becomes a trauma, ultimately manifests in the rejection of new love," said Josef Yu, the producer and guitarist who created both songs.

"I wrote both songs, but for the song Tuang Rasa, it was Ekky who wrote the lyrics," Josef Yu added.

JemSoy was born from the friendship of its three members, namely Josef Yu (guitar), Franky Hediakto alias Ekky (guitar), and Michael Pattiradjawane (vocals), who in 1995 often spent time playing futsal and hanging out together while playing guitar. As time went on, they went their separate ways following their 'calling' in music. Ekky and Michael decided to work professionally in the music world by forming the band Ungu.

Joining the professional world, for them, means getting the opportunity to learn various things, enriching experiences that ultimately contribute significantly to the development of their music careers. Unlike Ekky and Michael, Josef Yu chooses to pursue music more flexibly while running a business outside of music.

After being apart for 30 years and busy with their own activities, these three friends finally managed to reunite and produce a collaboration. There is Josef Yu as the composer, Ekky as the music arranger, and Michael as the singer, who created the works Tuang Rasa and Cinta Telah Berlalu.

Reuniting while pouring out their longing and creativity in the studio made the chemistry that had been dormant for decades resurface, and finally, Josef, Ekky, and Michael decided to form JemSoy. The name was taken during their jamming session in the studio. JemSoy is derived from the words Jaming Asoy or "Fun" Collaboration of Josef, Ekky, and Michael after reuniting.

The song Tuang Rasa and Cinta Telah Berlalu was produced by its own label JemSoy Music. The song from JemSoy's debut EP can be enjoyed on all Digital Store Platforms starting July 16, 2025, while the music video is planned to be made soon by Josef, Ekky, and Michael as quickly as possible.

"In the future, we will continue to produce new works to maintain our existence in the Indonesian music industry, and of course we will start performing again to celebrate our reunion in a music house called JemSoy," concluded Josef Yu.
