em>Taking cues from the iconic all-female group Dara Puspita, the Jakarta-based trio infuses a 'girl power' energy into the male-dominated rock music scene.

If there is one thing that the all-female, rock 'n' roll trio FLEUR! believe in the most, it would be good things come to those who wait. Even though the trio had kicked off their debut single back in March 2020, FLEUR! decided to bide their time and wait for the right moment to release their debut full-length album, cheekily titled Fleur Fleur FLEUR!

Cut to two years later, the trio felt completely ready to seal the deal. The Jakarta-based trio was convinced that their brand of music could only be properly introduced to the mass audience once the pandemic-related lockdown was at ease. After all, their rousing sound was not meant for late-night musings.

"As a band, we should be known for our [live] performance. We don't want to simply, like, drop records," the trio's bassist and vocalist, Yuyi Trirachma, 35, asserted. 

"We were thinking and, considering the situation at the time was still unclear, perhaps we should postpone the album. We ended up delaying it for two years until we were convinced that it was the right time."

The wait is finally over. Consisting of 11 tracks that also feature up-and-coming musicians such as Adra Karim and Bilal Indrajaya, Fleur Fleur FLEUR! reveals itself as more than just the trio's breakthrough in the Indonesian music industry, but also a buoyant tribute to the unlikely friendship that started it all. 

To promote the album, the trio is currently gearing up for offline showcase concerts and a possible tour across Java.
