Editor's note

Naif, Jakarta's steady hand in Indonesian pop

A band that kept things simple and stayed together through Indonesia's pop shifts.

For a sense of their sound, try 'Cover Girl' or 'Still Luv U.' They're both good examples of what Naif did well.

Naif's songs like 'Cover Girl' and 'Still Luv U' became reliable fixtures in Indonesian radio rotations without chasing trends. They wrote plainly about relationships and love, which connected with listeners who wanted something straightforward. Their 1998 debut album included 'Benci Untuk Mencinta' and 'Posesif,' setting a template they'd follow for years.

They formed in Jakarta in 1995 with the same four members, David, Emil, Fajar, and Pepeng, and kept that lineup. After their self-titled 1998 debut, they released albums like 'The Best Album of Naif' in 2003 and 'Televisi' in 2007. They collaborated with other Indonesian artists like Titi DJ and Sheila on 7 along the way.
