BINI is taking their music to new heights with a Coke Studio performance that marks their first collaboration with an orchestra group. The project merges P-pop energy with the elegance of classical music, creating a fresh listening experience for fans.
“This is our first time performing ‘Oxygen’ and ‘With a Smile’ as a mashup,” the group shared. “It’s exciting because people will hear a new side of us. Orchestra music is usually classical, so mixing it with P-pop brings something different to the mainstream.”
The collaboration with OFY isn’t entirely new. The two acts have worked together during BINI’s Biniverse concerts at Araneta and Philippine Arena. “We already knew their sound and professionalism,” they said. “For this project, ‘Oxygen’ gained a new flavor, and ‘With a Smile’ blended perfectly with it.”
Filming the performance was equally memorable. “The set-up was astig,” the group recalled. “The shots and moves were powerful, and the whole vibe was collaborative.” They emphasized how collaborations spark creativity, offering a chance to learn and share ideas with fellow musicians.
Through this performance, BINI hopes audiences will appreciate a wider range of music beyond pop, R&B, or hip-hop. “There’s so much more out there. We just need to bring it to the mainstream,” they said.
Their message to fans and Coke supporters is simple: “Never lose hope. Live your life with a smile.”
As for their excitement, BINI points to the timeless nature of the songs. “No matter the year, people will remember these tracks. This performance shows our versatility and openness to different genres. That’s why we’re so excited for everyone to see it live.”
