With a string of awards under their belt including an MTV Asia Award, an MTV Indonesia award, a couple of APMs (Anugerah Planet Muzik) and an AMI (Anugerah Muzik Indonesia), it is no surprise that Yovie & Nuno are revered in their native Indonesia, and have made much inroads in Malaysia as well. Their first single "Menjaga Hati" from their third album "The Special One" which was released in 2008, managed to secure more than 1.5 million downloads here, while their second single "Dia Milikku" was the theme song for local TV serial "Cinta Kirana" on Astro Ria. Their success also includes selling over 8 million ring tones back in Indonesia from that release, cementing them as one of Indonesia's premier stars.
Not ones to take a rear seat when the going is good, the group is now back pitching their hot new release entitled "Wining 11", which sports eleven new tracks that were written by lead singer, songwriter & producer Yovie Widianto, and delivered passionately by the group made up of Yovie himself, Dudi Oris (vocals), Diat (guitar) and Dikta (vocal). Iconic fusion jazz and pop music composer, fourty three year old Yovie, who hails from Bandung is already a household name in Indonesia after having written and produced for a myriad of A-Listers that include the likes of Rossa, Glen Fredly, Delon, Rio Febrian, Audy, Tetty Manurung, Pinkan Mambo, Astrid and Rida Sita Dewi among others , and is also often refereed to as the David Foster of Indonesia. With such an accomplished star heading the group, fans can expect the group's fourth album which is co-produced by Jan Djuhana and released by Sony Music, to be filled with brilliantly sweet love songs that will certainly tease your ears and make you smile, while motivating and encouraging those who are in pursuit of their romantic ambitions. This was presented to the attending media, selected fans and VIP guests at a press conference and private showcase held at the Hard Rock Cafe in Kuala Lumpur on 25th March 2011.
Even though the group is still riding high on their current success, they still hope and intend to provide the very best of themselves to their fans. As a token of their appreciation to their Malaysian fans, Yovie & Nuno, held a promotional tour here from 24th to 26th March 2011, with Suria FM elected as the official radio station for the three day tour. The group also held an online chat session with their fans on Gua Muzik a day earlier. The group ended the press conference with a well received six song showcase of their latest material that included their current hit single "Manusia Biasa", which had the attending audience singing along and cheering with much appreciation. After all it is not often quality regional stars such as Yovie & Nuno grace our shores, considering the frenetic demand they already have in their own backyards.
Complete pics coming up. Stay tuned.
