Pamungkas released his most recent full-length ‘Solipsism 0.2’ in February. His 2019 song ‘To The Bone’ has since enjoyed a resurgence in popularity due to a TikTok cover trend. In late April, it was announced that the song had broken a Spotify record by becoming the longest-running song to top the streaming service’s Indonesia Top 50 chart.

Dewa 19 formed in 1986 and are often lauded as one of the most influential bands in Indonesian music history. The group disbanded in 2011, and later reunited for a series of live performances. Dewa 19 have released seven studio albums to date and have recently begun releasing more original singles.
