Thee Marloes are a rising soul trio from Surabaya, Indonesia, bringing a fresh global perspective to classic soul music. At first listen their sound may feel familiar—warm crooning guitar, deep-pocket drums, and heartfelt vocals about love and longing—but what sets them apart is the place and spirit it comes from. Soul music from Indonesia is rare, and Thee Marloes have carved out their own lane.The band features vocalist and keyboardist Natassya Sianturi, guitarist Sinatrya “Raka” Dharaka, and drummer Tommy Satwick. Drawing inspiration from classic soul, American hip-hop, rocksteady, and lovers rock reggae, the trio developed their sound organically through late-night songwriting sessions and local gigs across Southeast Asia. The group truly came into focus when Raka and Tommy discovered Natassya’s powerful voice at a local performance—her church-trained vocals and wide musical influences adding emotional depth to the project.
Recording in their home studio, the trio crafted a raw and authentic soul sound that eventually caught the attention of Big Crown Records. Their debut album Perak blends funk-driven grooves, soulful ballads, and Indonesian-language lyrics into a style that feels both timeless and entirely new—proof that great soul music can come from anywhere in the world.
