Delivering a modern brand of dangdut packed with richly melodic pop sensibility, Via Vallen revitalises a much-loved Indonesian trend. Her resonant voice—be it girly and mellifluous or alluringly husky and mature—leads brass-inflected reggae rhythms with proud koplo roots. Bold guitars suddenly explode, borrowing generous amounts of electricity from pop-rock, while rap heroics boost sounds that are alert and open to the world. Flutes, keys and strings penetrate tender ballads with a steady flow of tabla beats, alternating unabashedly sentimental slices with dance-driven, youthful synth-pop.
