History

In 2005, Bhumiband achieved regional recognition with their first album Suara Dunia. The album was nominated for 5 awards, including 2 regional categories in the 2005 Anugerah Planet Muzik (APM), [4] which is the local Malay music industry's awards show. It also featured a Batucada track from Wicked Aura Singapore. The band's second album, Konspirasi Dunia was equally if not more successful in 2006. [5] [6] The song "Goda" from the album was featured in the original soundtrack of Malaysian action film, Remp-It .[ citation needed ]

After touring together with Indonesian band Sheila on 7 and recording non-stop in the late 2006, the band went on hiatus following individual commitment and projects. [7]

Return

In late 2016, the band returned with the single "Hanya Kamu". [8] Bhumiband has been known to use pop and rock in their style of music which was predominant in their 2005 and 2006 albums but "Hanya Kamu" displayed the band's progression and evolution with a wider arrangement akin to its current form. "Hanya Kamu" was nominated in the "Popular Song (Singapore)" category and the band was also nominated in the "Popular Artist (Singapore)" category at the annual Anugerah Planet Muzik 2018  [ id ].

The band released their 2nd single in January 2018 titled "Gerbang Asmara Hakiki". [9] The single debuts the band's first collaboration with local writer and prolific wordsmith, Mohd Khair Mohd Yasin.

In 2019, Bhumiband collaborated with Indah Han and produced her 1st Malay single "Kehadiranmu" (composed by Kief). [10] The band then followed up with a duet with Indah in 2020 on the song "Ku Ingin Tahu" which was originally composed by Atiqah. Just before the Covid lockdown, Bhumiband managed to complete a recording session with Juwiezy and produced "Segalanya Kerana" (composed by Reamie). [11]

During the pandemic, Bhumiband worked on their 3rd Album "The Bhumi Projek" and released "Kau di Hatiku" as the first single from the album. The song featured Indonesian singers "Zara & Doddy" and managed to climb Singapore's Malay local radio charts "Ria897 Carta Singa Maksima".

The band is planning to collaborate with more local and regional vocalists. They have released "Oh Kekasih" (single) featuring local ballad singer "Zaibaktian" on the last day of 2021 and "Imaginasi Ku" featuring Malaysian singer/songwriter "Airinna Namara" on 31 March 2022. "Imaginasi Ku" also managed to get into "Ria897 Carta Singa Maksima" 2 months after it was released. The next single to be released on 5 August 2022 will be "Adinda"

To date, Bhumiband has released 3 studio albums, 8 singles and currently working on the next single release in September 2022. Having sold thousands of records regionally in Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia, Bhumiband is one of the most well-known Singapore Malay bands. [12]
