At just 18, Putri Ariani returns with “Sheepish,” a soulful Pop-R&B track that captures the vulnerability and tenderness of unspoken love. Known for her powerful vocal talent and impressive songwriting, Putri first gained international attention when she earned Simon Cowell’s Golden Buzzer on America’s Got Talent in 2023. Her latest single solidifies her reputation as a rising global star and an artist to watch.
“Sheepish” dives into the familiar, bittersweet feeling of being “friend-zoned”—secretly longing for more but holding back out of shyness. With her warm, expressive voice, Putri translates this quiet struggle into a relatable, heartfelt melody. Inspired by her own experiences, Putri explains, “It’s about having an untold love for someone, where you want more than just friendship but are too shy to express those feelings.”
The track is a preview of her upcoming album, Evolve, due out in November 2024, which promises a mix of Pop, R&B, and Indonesian influences that will explore love, resilience, and transformation. With previous recognition from winning Indonesia’s Got Talent at just 8 and awards like the AMI Inspiring Artist, Putri Ariani’s rise continues. “Sheepish” is a testament to her gift for crafting songs that resonate across cultures and emotions, making her an unstoppable force in the music world.
