4 B.I Songs To Excite You Ahead Of His 1st Fan Meeting in Manila
Add these amazing songs to your playlist and get ready for B.I’s upcoming fan meeting in Manila!
It is not a secret that Kim Hanbin, otherwise known by his stage name B.I, is among the most iconic artists of his generation. Since his idol debut in 2015, B.I has been proving himself as a sought-after artist and composer best applauded for his distinctive tune, captivating melodies, and endearing character.
And to get fans pumped up ahead of B.I’s first fan meeting in Manila, we have compiled the top 4 songs from the 2018 Melon Music Awards’ “Songwriter of the Year” himself.
“Midnight Blue”
“Midnight Blue” is from the three-song EP of the same name, from which all proceeds were donated to support children in crisis across the globe.
The song exemplifies his musical prowess and displays deep thought and emotion. In particular, the lyrics “I will cover your heart with a blanket in this dark midnight,” hopes that the song brings solace to anyone going through a painful time alone. Without any doubt, the track is the musical equivalent of a warm hug on a cold day, especially with B.I’s soothing voice floating over a gentle piano melody while he sings words of comfort.
“Daydream”
Featuring Lee Hi, “Daydream” is perhaps a song written to remind himself of the dreams and emotions he formerly felt passionate about.
The lyrics “Did I have a long dream? Everything is just unfamiliar. Probably because I feel so many emotions,” express the feeling of waking up from a deep sleep and a sweet dream that seemed so real, covering up a cloudy and unfamiliar universe where the narrator felt lost. And according to B.I, “watching beautiful stars fall from the sky daily is how quickly a beautiful daydream can pass,” adding much deeper meaning to the song.
“BTBT”
B.I captures the awe of falling in love through the track “BTBT,” as well as the nervous excitement of making that first romantic move towards the person you admire. Featuring a rather seductive and evocative tune, the lyrical message gets conveyed through the track’s booming bass and percussion elements that undoubtedly hook listeners.
Moreover, the gentle tune serves as a bedrock for B.I’s crooning voice, providing a soothing yet alluring delivery of the poetic lyrics.
“NINETEEN”
“NINETEEN” is a retrospective on growing up and a look back at the carefree days of a teenager. The rock style and guitar riffs in the song capture the feeling of longing for simpler times and the glories of youth. The edgier musical arrangement emphasizes the lyrical notion of resistance against the societal pressures of adulthood.
Debuting as the leader of iKON at the age of 19, the song conveys greater emotional weight coming from his perspective.
Meanwhile, B.I will be greeting fans at the New Frontier Theater in Manila on August 27, 2022, for his first fan meeting titled B.I OFFLINE. The first show will commence at 1 PM while the second show starts at 7 PM.
