Filipino nine-piece collective Ben&Ben<\/strong> has recently joined forces with Indonesian singer-songwriter Pamungkas <\/strong>to release a performance video of \u201cStand By You<\/strong>.\u201d The infectious pop-rock original, which is an English translation of Ben&Ben\u2019s 2022 hit \u201cPaninindigan Kita,\u201d was recorded at SoundCheck Studio in Pasig City last August 5, 2022 (Friday).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prior to the live studio session, both regional superstars were introduced to each other online last month, and got the chance to brainstorm on how to approach the song with a collaborative mindset. \u201cWe sent over a rough translation of our song Paninindigan Kita<\/em>,\u201d shares Ben&Ben in a statement. \u201cHe [Pamungkas] came up with brilliant lyrical ideas, and we ended up co-writing the English lyrics for this song with him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ahead of their sold-out show at 123 Block in Mandaluyong City, Philippines, Ben&Ben and Pamungkas recently recorded a live performance of \u201cStand By You\u201d complete with a fuller, more intricate arrangement and reassigned verses. The chart-topping Filipino band is more than happy about the result of the session, and how it brought the best of both worlds in one project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere was a natural chemistry between both artists,\u201d says Ben&Ben. \u201cThis came out in the way the instruments were arranged and the different parts were worked into the final version of the performance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ben&Ben also praised Pamungkas on how he managed to add a totally new vibe to the song, while injecting his own flair into the instrumentation. \u201cThis made the collaborative version very distinct in a way that represents both styles blended into one performance, instead of it being a straightforward cover version of the song.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cStand By You\u201d is the first of the two-part collaboration between the prolific and award-winning Asian artists. They\u2019re also set to release the performance video of \u201cI Got To Get You\u201d soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pamungkas is currently headlining his own Southeast Asian tour to promote his fourth studio album, Birdy<\/em>. His hit single \u201cTo The Bone\u201d was a huge regional success, topping Spotify Indonesia Top 50 charts for several weeks and peaking at No. 5 on Spotify Philippines Top 50 charts last year. The song also performed well commercially in other Southeast Asian countries, particularly in Thailand, Singapore, and Malaysia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
