Kunto Aji recently released the single ‘Salam Pada Rindu’ on July 21. The single was his first solo original release since the 2020 single ‘Selaras’. The singer has been involved with several collaborations since the release of ‘Selaras’ however, teaming up with fellow Indonesian artists Sal Priadi and Sisca Saras in January last year to release new covers of classic songs by the late Indonesian icon, Didi Kempot.

The project was a part of Netflix’s promotions for the romantic comedy Sobat Ambyar, which saw Kunto Aji covering Didi Kempot’s ‘Pamer Bojo’.

Later that year, he appeared alongside Indonesian singer-songwriters Sal Priadi and Nadin Amizah in a new musical film titled Limina | Limen. The 45-minute film combined music, theatre, and dance choreography to tell a story about loss and helplessness inspired by the coronavirus pandemic. He sang the song ‘Rehat’ (‘Rest’), which was one of five songs performed by the three participating musicians that progress the plot.

Kunto Aji is set to appear at Indonesian music festival The Sounds Project this August, performing alongside American indie-pop band The Walters and UK indie rockers Furs, as well as Indonesian acts Yura Yunita, .Feast, Efek Rumah Kaca, Isyana Sarasvati, Nidji, Hindia, Danilla Riyadi and more.
