The five-member PPOP idol group makes dreams realities with the sophomore single under their comeback studio album titled, BE:US.
On a roll now, BGYO recently dropped the official music video of PNGNP, a key track of their sophomore studio album BE:US. A week earlier, the group surprised and delighted fans with the lead single, Magnet, an anthemic bop track, that practically represents the group’s gravitating energy towards their dedicated fanbase, ACEs.
With PNGNP, the expensive-looking P-POP quintet, ups the ante in making boy groups like them a visual symbol of masculine elegance. The encapsulating anthem allowed them to showcase their sexiest visuals yet. Through the new track’s ensnaring slow-beat rhythm, the emphasis shifts to the rawness and exquisiteness of their vocal gifts, with JL and Akira’s dreamy and buttery voices, stealing the spotlight as usual. But there is something good to say about Nate, Gelo, and Mikki, as well. As a group. BGYO conjures a more solid visual spectacle, with their ultra-polished choreography.
PNGNP is a lyrical theme, that is. It has a lot of compelling emotions rendered into the song to make it work. To the five boys’ credit, it certainly did. It is certainly not their best slow-dance anthem ever, but it has its merits as being one of the rousing tracks under BE:US, if not under the group’s entire discography. The hooks stretch from the repetitive lines of the chorus, but then it can also be JL or Akira’s smooth-like-butter runs. One can notice, however, that the track did not make full use of these two vocal wonders’ glorious head-tone and falsetto voices.
The sound that PNGNP takes is not unique, even in the context of BGYO’s discography, but there is a flavor in it that quite creates a unique drawing power. Perhaps, it is how playfully shot the music video was. There is a sense of phantasmagoria in how the music video’s narrative was executed and told. It is a lovely spectacle, with the five boys’ dreamy and sexy visuals shining as the highlight.
Unlike most of their past music videos, PNGNP somewhat makes a slight detour by eliminating the splash of colors and strong palettes that were naturally present in tracks like The Baddest and When I’m With You. In PNGNP, the tones are more tamed but warmer making the music video light but encapsulating.
PNGNP is now available to stream on Spotify and all other major streaming platforms. Watch the official music video below:
