[JAKARTA] KLAV, a musician, soloist, and multi-instrumentalist hailing from Jakarta has just revealed her latest track called “Bloom”. Depicted as a cinematic soul single, one word that we could describe this number is ‘immersive’. Known for her collaborative joint as RL KLAV, in this track she fully re-introduces herself as a whole fledged individual with her own taste and her own broad musical vidion.
She blends elements of Soul/R&B and Indie Jazz in “Bloom”, where the track moves away from dramatic storytelling and instead centers on introspection, softness, and emotional presence. The song started out as an almost two minute instruments that act as a base for the whole track. Produced entirely by herself, she combined layering drums, guitar, keys, flute, and ambient textures to create a calm, spacious atmosphere. In soft spoken words layered on top of the instruments, KLAV chronicles moments of self-doubt and feeling out of sync, when life seems clearer for others while you’re still searching for your own rhythm.
As the track goes on, the listeners are taken into an immersive journey in which you could picture yourself lying upon soft pillowy grass on a sunny day, thinking about life and whether you have already bloomed into the best version of yourself or not. “Bloom” is said to be the first single of KLAV’s upcoming project and we already like what the musician has to offer as its first exposure. This version of vulnerability, uncertainty, and deeply personal nuance of KLAV resonate well within those who have struggled through various phases in life.
Sometimes, when words could limit one’s ability to convey such complex feelings, KLAV chooses to communicate it through the dynamics of the instruments in this song. “Bloom” is available to be streamed on various streaming services, so sit back and immerse yourself in the experience from the very beginning.
