BIBI has answered the call.
On May 20 at 6:00 PM KST, BIBI will release her new song titled “Bumpa”. This track, unveiled for the first time in March 2023 during her solo concert “와주시면 안될까요?”, has since ignited crowds at every stage of her world tour. Already well-known and acclaimed by fans during her live performances, the song had been the subject of constant requests for an official release; BIBI is finally responding.
The original version, in an Afrobeats style, was renowned for the fusional energy it created between the artist and her audience. For this official release, the track has been rearranged with band instrumentation to suit the summer vibe, capturing both the seasonality and the live sensibility. The highlight of this single lies in its sharp and dynamic sound, giving the impression that the band and the audience are having fun together.
Accustomed to attracting attention with impactful themes and concepts with each release, BIBI once again proves the extent of her “multi-player” talents. She directed the entire project, from writing and composing to production, as well as the concept, visuals, and video direction.
However, “Bumpa” stands out from her previous works. In terms of both music and performance, BIBI has chosen to release the pressure to offer a more natural and accessible atmosphere, inviting everyone to have fun. By prioritizing a free-flowing song conducive to communication rather than a complex conceptual universe, this new choice by the artist is expected to draw all eyes.
BIBI will begin building anticipation with a mood teaser. After establishing herself as an essential “multitainment” figure thanks to her world tour last year, she plans to shine this year as a singer-songwriter and versatile musician through intense musical activities.
