Whisnu Santika Drops Emotional Single “I’ll Be Yours”

Whisnu Santika begins a new chapter within his emotive sound with his latest single offering, “I’ll Be Yours,” an impressive collaboration with regular collaborator Rey Putra and young Indonesian singer-songwriter Cosmo Kent.

Released today, it comes at a perfect time, as Whisnu Santika will soon be taking stage at the highly anticipated Djakarta Warehouse Project 2025.

Whisnu, celebrated for his highly dynamic and baile funk-inspired sound and as a core figure in Indonesian Bounce, uses this single as an opportunity to display more storytelling-driven and vulnerable sides of his artistic expression. Whisnu’s collaboration with Rey Putra has already provided followers with some unforgettable experiences, ranging from bouncy and highly explosive tracks like ‘J-Town’ to creative mashups for ‘Die With A Smile’ from Bruno Mars, ‘Move’ from Adam Port, and ‘Freed From Desire’ from Gala. Whisnu and Putra continue bettering these efforts with ‘I’ll Be Yours’.

The song progresses like an end-of-the-world love affair — two people who were once inseparable and are now living on opposite sides of the world finding a way to reconnect at the end. Rather than dwelling on what they could have done or changed about the past, they have opted to live love once before it all ends. The lyrics include “Hold you more before we go, I’ll be yours, evermore,” and it captures the essence of surrender and urgency as it highlights that in times of crises, people will always turn to the ones they love.

Prince Husein, better known as Cosmo Kent, who represents his artistic alias as a songwriter and singer, shows an amazing performance with his voice. It is as if he weaves a tapestry with words and feelings, making it very easy for listeners to relate. The voice itself speaks about longing, sorrow, and hope, as if the apocalyptic story becomes an ast

Whisnu Santika’s ascendancy has been no less than remarkable. Just within 2023, he achieved 80% sold-out shows at 207 Indonesian performances, and he reached an international presence at shows like Tomorrowland Belgium, Siam Songkran Bangkok, and ADE. Rey Putra keeps defining the Indonesian music scene with music productions for various artist acts like Alan Walker, Steve Aoki, and Nicky Romero.

Alongside Cosmo Kent, these three make a recording that is cinematic, emotive, and unforgettable.
