This Friday, Ben&Ben will release their new track, “COMETS”

“COMETS,” Ben&Ben’s first official single of 2024, will be released.

The song, which was written by Paolo and Miguel Benjamin, addresses how ephemeral love is.

In addition, “COMETS” is the first song that Ben&Ben co-produced with renowned producer Petra Sihombing, whose work the band has quickly grown to appreciate.

“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 a singer-songwriter-multi-instrumentalist from Indonesia. In addition, he is well-known for his work as a music producer, having collaborated with numerous international artists from the Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, and Japan.

Teaser and Cover Art

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 band claims that the cover art “encapsulates the essence of the song with how it likens people in our lives to these bright, beautiful yet fleeting flashes of light,” appearing to have caused a burst of light at a snapped photograph. This was designed as a collaborative project by our very own talented group of artists.

This Friday, May 10, 2024, “COMETS” will be made available on all digital music platforms globally by Sony Music Entertainment, here, pre-save the music.
