MAY bagong single ang P-Pop boy group na Bilib at ito’y pinamagatang Say WhatCha Wanna Say.
Hatid ng AQ Prime Music at Frontrow International. Ito na ang kanilang second single, nauna rito, ini-release ng grupo ang kanilang kantang Kabanata.
Ang BI7IB ay binubuo nina Yukito Kanai (leader), Zio (rapper), JMAC Sangil (lead dancer), RC Coronel (visual), Clyde Ballo (main dancer), Carlo Samson (lead vocals), at Rafael Mumar (main vocals).
Bago ipinakilala sa publiko, ipinahayag ng grupo na bilang paghahanda, sila ay sumailalim muna sa matinding training.
Esplika ni Yukito, “The training that we did was something that was out of our comfort zone. From our auditions and our background, we could really sing and dance. We were engaged into performing and honed into a cohesive group.
“Unfortunately, iba-iba kami ng levels as a performer, experiences, training… The hardest was how we could manage to become one as a group. We had our music coaches who taught us the basics in performing to remind us everything na important talaga.
“From there, we displayed our mannerisms in performing and dancing. So everyone went back to zero. We started working on a black canvass. We managed to perform together as a group.”
Nang inusisa ang grupo hinggil sa kanilang music influences, ito ang kanilang ipinahayag:
“To me, it’s SB19 for local artists. Sa international naman, it’s Justin Bieber,” wika ni Clyde,
Sagot naman ni Jmac,“For me, it’s also SB19, because I believe in their goal in the music industry. I think ,that’s also the goal of our group to become known and really popular.”
“For me, I idolize Gloc 9 because ever since I was young, I really looked up to him until now,” wika ni Zio, ang rapper sa grupo.
“My influence regarding music is Bruno Mars. Ever since I was young, I really listened to him.” sabi naman ni Rafael
Ayin naman kay Carlo, “For me, hindi siya nagbago. Sarah Geronimo pa rin. When you see Sarah and she’s not performing, kalmado lang siya. But when she performs, lumalabas ang pagka halimaw niya onstage. That inspired me. Hindi lang siya singer or dancer, performer talaga si Sarah.”
“I like Charlie Puth, sobrang galing talaga niya when it comes to those flavors that he sings,” sagot ni RC.
“I think pareho kami ni Carlo because we idolize Sarah Geronimo. She became an example to me na local at naging international,” sambit naman ni Yuki.
Ipinahayag din ng mga bossing ng AQ Prime Music na sina Atty. Aldwin Alegre and Atty. Honey Quiño at Frontrow President Raymond Francisco na marami silang plano ngayong taon para sa grupong Bilib.
Gusto ni RS na after ng promotion ng kanilang new single na Say Wactha Wanna Say ay tatlong kanta pa ang i-record ng grupo this year.
Ayon naman kay Atty. Honey, maraming shows ang naka-line up sa Bilib na dapat abangan ng kanilang mga fans.
Ang Say Watch Wanna Say ay available na sa lahat ng streaming apps. Ang music video ng Bilib ay mapapanood din sa Youtube.
