Kini is a 2002 album by the Indonesian singer Rossa.
In May 2002, Rossa released the single âÂÂKini,â which preceded the release of her studio album Kini on 30 April 2002. The album marked a continuation of her collaboration with several established Indonesian songwriters and reflected a more mature pop sound compared with her earlier releases.
One of the albumâÂÂs notable tracks was a reinterpretation of Fariz RMâÂÂs âÂÂSakura,â which was rearranged in a city of pop style for a new generation of listeners. During the albumâÂÂs promotional period, Rossa expanded her activities into television, appearing in the drama series Perisai Kasih, where her song âÂÂKepastianâ was used as the main theme song, further increasing the albumâÂÂs exposure to a wider audience.
The albumâÂÂs singles included âÂÂKini,â written by Yovie Widianto, followed by âÂÂPerawan Cintaâ by Melly Goeslaw, âÂÂBila Salahâ by Ricky of Five Minutes, âÂÂSakuraâ by Fariz RM, and âÂÂKepastianâ by Glenn Fredly. Kini achieved strong commercial performance, selling more than 600,000 copies nationwide, and contributed to Rossa receiving the Best Pop Female Singer award at the 2003 Anugerah Musik Indonesia.
On 19 May 2003, Rossa released Kini (Repackaged) with the addition of a new track, âÂÂMalam Pertama,â written by Melly Goeslaw for the SCTV television series of the same name. The reissue achieved double-platinum certification in early 2004 and earned Rossa a nomination for Best Female Pop Singer at the 2004 Anugerah Musik Indonesia.
