NIDJI

Genre: (indie), britpop, rock

Actually, Nidji came from indie scene. But several times ago major label have offered contract to them to make album in bilingual versions, the Indonesian and English lyrics. Word of Nidji comes from Japanese language which means rainbow. When the first time I listened their single “child” I felt like listening Coldplay. But when I was listening their first album “breakthru’”, accent of Coldplay faded out. Now their first album became the most played on tv and radio. And do not forget they got platinum for their first album selling. It’s really breakthru’.
