Ben&Ben Drops New Single “Could Be Something,” Announces International Tour
After drawing more than 60 thousand fans
for their homecoming concert last year and gaining accolades for their
performance at Hong Kong’s Clockenflap Music & Arts Festival 2023, Filipino
nine-piece collective Ben&Ben marks
the introduction of a new era with the release
of “Could Be Something”
on June 30, Friday at midnight.
Signaling a new chapter of musical growth
and evolution, Ben&Ben’s first single of 2023 is a big step forward.
This time, the multi-awarded band infuses their guitar-driven folk/pop-rock roots with city pop elements, tropicalia beats, and twinkling production touches, for a more electronic-leaning
track. Together with co-producers timothy
Run and Sam Marquez, they collectively brought
a new dimension to
Ben&Ben’s sound. “We wanted the instrumentation and production to capture a
more mature kind of hope, so we used slightly
darker chords, coupled
with tight rhythms,
to bring out a unique kind of catharsis for the
listener, for our Liwanag,” Ben&Ben explains in a collective statement. “Together with our co-producers, we built the soundscapes to reflect a lush, yet tighter
than ever sound for the band.”
According to the Pagtingin hitmakers, “Could Be Something” delves into the often-overlooked phase before taking a leap of faith. It candidly addresses moments of overthinking and over processing, providing a relatable narrative for all.
“Could Be Something is a song about turning doubt into belief,” Ben&Ben shares. “It’s the revival of hope after being caught in a very cynical place. It’s the feeling you get after meeting someone who unexplainably makes you believe in love again, or finding a new passion that sparks life in you.”
The nine-piece act reveals that, beyond being a love song, their new single doubles as an anthem for people grappling with doubt. “It offers a reminder to believe, surrender, and let go during challenging times,” the acclaimed Filipino group adds.
Ben&Ben plans to debut a live performance of “Could Be Something” in the coming months, as they headline their nationwide tour in key cities across the country. Additionally, for the first time ever, they will be taking the song to an international audience with an international tour that kicks off in London, followed by Los Angeles, Toronto, Sydney, and Dubai. This is in collaboration with ABS- CBN Global and 1MX Music Festival. More details will be revealed in the coming weeks via their social media accounts and official website.
Ben&Ben’s “Could Be Something” is the first song to be will be out on all digital music platforms worldwide via Sony Music Entertainment on June 30, 2023.
