In a natural progression from the Indonesian pop of the ‘80s and ‘90s, Ungu updates the slow crunch of sweeping power ballads with a hushed intensity. The band started up in 1996 in Jakarta, and over the next nine years built up a respectable following in their home country. Soon after, their hard work paid off with the release of 2005's Melayang, which proved a smash hit in Malaysia and made them bonafide international rock stars. Whether it's muscular crooning or epic chord changes you like, you're sure to find the perfect Ungu power lullaby on this playlist.
