Sal Priadi started sharing his bedroom pop on social media before the release of his first single, 2017’s “Kultusan”. Layered with evocative string arrangements, this ballad unfolds as a melodic stream of consciousness rather than obeying familiar pop structures. It set the tone for Priadi’s unabashedly romantic and idiosyncratically rhythmic 2020 debut album, Berhati. A highlight of this LP is the acclaimed “Ikat Aku Di Tulang Belikatmu”—a collage of quiet piano and cello passages that unexpectedly burst into heavenly lyrical harmonies.
