It was almost inevitable that Rinni Wulandari would enter into a career in music. After all, the Medan-born songstress hails from a family of musicians. And those early influences eventually prompted her to enter (and subsequently win) Indonesian Idol at the age of just 17. Ever eager to experiment with new sounds, Rinni boasts a pop DNA made up of highly infectious hooks and fantastic vocals. The song "Bebas" is a particular highlight, a tantalising number that meanders between mainstream accessibility and deeper artistic ambition. Her talent dazzles in this brilliant pop showcase.
