The Filipino band is also set to debut the electronic-leaning track live in their upcoming 5-city international tour
Following a triumphant homecoming concert that drew over 60,000 fans and a stellar performance at Hong Kong’s Clockenflap Music & Arts Festival 2023, Filipino nine-piece collective Ben&Ben embarks on a fresh chapter by unveiling their latest single, “Could Be Something,” set to release on June 30 at midnight.
Representing a significant leap forward in their musical journey, Ben&Ben’s first single of 2023 showcases their adventurous spirit. Infusing their signature guitar-driven folk/pop-rock roots with elements of city pop, tropicalia beats, and shimmering production, the multi-award-winning band takes a more electronic-leaning approach in this track. Collaborating with co-producers timothy Run and Sam Marquez, Ben&Ben aims to expand their sonic horizons, offering listeners a new dimension to their sound. In a collective statement, they explain, “We aimed to capture a mature sense of hope in the instrumentation and production, incorporating darker chords and tight rhythms to deliver a unique cathartic experience for the listener, embracing our ‘Liwanag‘ in a fresh, lush, and tighter sound.”
“Could Be Something” delves into the often-overlooked phase preceding a leap of faith. It candidly explores moments of overthinking and overprocessing, presenting a relatable narrative for all. “It’s a song about transforming doubt into belief,” Ben&Ben shares. “It signifies the revival of hope after being trapped in a cynical mindset. It embodies the feeling you get when encountering someone who inexplicably renews your faith in love or discovering a new passion that reignites your soul.” Beyond being a love song, the track serves as an anthem for individuals grappling with doubt, offering a reminder to believe, surrender, and let go during challenging times.
In their new journey, the band joins forces with Ben&Ben Music Production, the management team responsible for overseeing the band’s operations, music production, and marketing efforts. Throughout the pandemic, Ben&Ben has been self-managed by a dedicated and efficient team in whom they place complete trust and belief.
