I hate that I just discovered BINI’s “Pantropiko”. I feel like it would boost my mood, or I might even recommend it at our holiday gatherings. It is the type of song that I find so catchy, alluring at its best, and the kind I can listen to over and over again. I wish I had known this song earlier. 

Behold, the power of the ‘Nation’s Girl Group’. 

Reflecting on my initial thoughts into the world of P-Pop, only a handful of songs come to mind. I refrained from diving into or taking the time to immerse myself in the diverse groups catering to different genres—I daresay I wasn’t genuinely interested. For some reason, I firmly believe that a smudge surrounded me those days, and I lament having put my mindset to those limited corners, hindering my perspectives. In essence, it caused me to miss out on a lot of experiences and to put it plainly, it’s comparable to perceiving the music scene in a black-and-white format, limited to what my ears were accustomed to.

Breaking free from those self-imposed restrictions, I made it a point to explore more of what the P-Pop scene had to offer. You know what, I express my gratitude to the universe for sparking my interest in it. During that time, I didn’t just scroll through my music streaming app to discover hidden gems; I also paid attention during several TV show guesting. There, I found myself deeply intrigued, on the verge of becoming an enthusiast. The barriers that initially held me back were unclear, and it wasn’t until I chanced upon BINI’s “Da Coconut Nut” that I fully embraced the scene in P-Pop. Their viral presence on social media platforms and TV guesting triggered a craze that I couldn’t resist. Well, I really extend my gratitude to the universe for guiding me to this discovery, as it has become a part of something new in my life.

After spilling the tea about myself, I’ve come to the cosmic conclusion; in a Filipino high pitch—cosmic conclusion—that my Virgo vibes are pushing me back into the spotlight—yeah, I’ve got this recurring urge to be the main character. Hashtag Virgo Things. While I acknowledge I won’t fully live up to the standards set by these girls, I’ve decided to transport myself to the island of Pantropiko. I know. It may sound a bit cheesy, but perhaps there, I’ll experience an elation that triggers a warm energy, enabling me to absorb the good vibes and radiate an aura brimming with youth—an essence I aspire to embody.

When I listened to the song, I saw the girls absolutely beam their performance that’s not just entertaining but downright sparkling. It sweeps you into a familiar groove, sneakily convincing you to bust a move and effortlessly connecting you with the song’s message. Enter Pantropiko, and suddenly the girls are on a lively, rhythmic adventure expressing admiration that’s so infectious, you can’t help but join the adventure. Their delivery oozes warmth, fitting the song like a party hat. And vocally, they nailed it, delivering exactly what the song ordered with a side of warm vibes.

This summer-infused love serves as a reminder that love transcends all boundaries, emerging as a universal language. The song effortlessly resonates with the essence of relatability, captivating hearts with its enchanting melody and timeless themes.

My encounter with BINI’s “Pantropiko” can only be likened to stumbling upon a hidden treasure chest in the landscape of music. It wasn’t just an unexpected find; it was a revelation that ignited a moment of sheer curiosity and musical euphoria.

It boldly tosses aside the traditional expectations associated with seasonal releases, establishing itself as a timeless piece that transcends the boundaries of momentary trends. In essence, it’s as if BINI’s music possesses the magical quality of a time-traveling ninja, effortlessly navigating through eras and standing resilient against the test of time.

It not only showcases BINI’s commitment to artistic freedom but also demonstrates a keen understanding of their audience’s craving for music that resonates beyond the confines of a specific season. In a world saturated with fleeting trends, this fearless approach breathes fresh air into the realm of P-Pop, setting BINI apart as trailblazers in the industry.

So, here’s a toast to the serendipity that led me to discover this musical gem. It’s a celebration of embracing the unexpected and finding joy in the unconventional. “Pantropiko” may not be the stereotypical soundtrack for the current season, but it’s precisely its ability to exist outside those boundaries that makes it a standout piece in the vast musical landscape. As I delve deeper into the layers of “Pantropiko,” I’m reminded of the power of music to transcend temporal constraints.
