Episode No Na Talks Debut Album 'island girl,' Bringing Indonesia to the World, and Their Origin Story

0:00 56:39

Meet No Na, the 88rising-signed Indonesian girl group made up of Christy Gardena, Esther Geraldine, Baila Fauri and Shazfa Adesya. This is actually their second time on the show — we first met them last year (unreleased), but now they’re back with a whole debut album, 'island girl,' to dig into.

The girls get into their Indonesian roots and the sounds of home that have made their way into the record, from gamelan to angkot horns, plus what it’s like hearing fans around the world learn Bahasa to sing along. We break down "seafood diet," "party in the +62" and "nick of time," their vocal evolution, and which Indonesian instruments they want to experiment with next.

Plus we find out more about the girls as individuals: who is the nerd, who was the gymnast, who was in ‘Indonesian Idol’ and ‘Indonesian Idol Jr.’ and the virality of ‘rollerblade.’ They also explain their roles in the group, the influence of Tyler, the Creator, they launch a passionate campaign for justice for durian (which also happens to be a song title), and so much more.
