Bianca Releases Debut Single “Tenth of July”
After racking up more than 2.5 million
steams on Spotify with her heartfelt reimagining of an alt-rock classic, rising
singer-songwriter Bianca fulfills the promise of her music journey with
the release of her proper debut single under Sony Music Philippines.
Written by Bianca herself, “Tenth of July” delivers emotional
resonance note per note, while retaining the spare, soothing vocal quality that
listeners have grown to love from her. Seizing the moment with bedroom intimacy
and captivating folk-pop detail, the track speaks fondly about memory and
longing, and the beauty of remembering—as if it were words to live by.
“July of 2020, I had constant recurring
dreams about someone I missed and it triggered me to write the song in order to
cope with my emotions,” the young newcomer says in a statement. “Tenth of
July to me is a reminder that we’re still able to reminisce and experience
memories through dreaming and I hope that people who long for someone or
something will be able to find comfort in the song.”
The endearing tune was produced by Joey
Santos, whose cozy and lilting arrangements complement the warmth of Bianca’s
songwriting and performance. Bianca recalls having a great time working with
Santos, and appreciating his sense of enthusiasm and open-mindedness. “We both
shared playlists to get inspiration from artists we thought would help with our
brainstorming process. It was very easy to converse with him since he knew what
I liked and he also introduced me to artists, who eventually became some of my
favorites. He immediately applied my vision and inspirations to the production
of the song, which ultimately unified it.”
Recording the harmonies and the guitar
parts at home, Bianca shares that the sole purpose of completing the song is
not to confront her own ego, but to comfort her future listeners. In terms of
the track’s overall vibe, she wanted to showcase the more organic, mellow side
of her music, but ensuring that the chorus powers through with the balance of
inspirational message and confessional honesty.
