Ben&Ben releases single - Comets
Ben&Ben releases "Comets," their first official single of 2024.
Written by Paolo and Miguel Benjamin, the song tackles the fleeting nature of a love lost
"Comets" also marks the first time that Ben&Ben co-produced a song with acclaimed producer Petra Sihombing, whose work the band has gotten to know and love in such a short span of time.
"He flew in to help us bring the song to the next level, with his own additions in both the arrangement and post production of the track," shares the nine-piece collective. "The band probably had about 90% of the song down, but it was Petra's very weighty 10% that really helped make the song what it is now."
Sihombing is an Indonesian singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist. He is also known for his work as a music producer, working with many international musicians hailing from Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, and the Philippines.
The teaser of "Comets" is making the rounds on several digital billboards across Metro Manila, hinting at how the visual representation evokes a spectrum of emotions
Ben&Ben reveals: "Comets is a song that we've had and performed a few times since 2021 but haven't officially released yet, it's been shrouded in quite a bit of mystery and intrigue. The teasers are meant to slowly raise the curtains and give our keen listeners what they've been waiting for."
This also explains why the cover art appears to have produced a burst of light at a captured photograph, which, according to the band, "encapsulates the essence of the song with how it likens people in our lives to these bright, beautiful yet fleeting flashes of light. This was conceptualized as a group effort by our very own excellent team of creatives."
"Comets" is available on all digital music platforms worldwide via Sony Music Entertainment.
