For those who checked out BINI’s recent FEEL GOOD album, one thing is clear: the nation's girl group is ready to take their seat in the queendom of Ppop music.

While their debut album Born to Win seemed like their way of trying different things to see which will stick to the wall, Feel Good is them streamlining what works best for them and keeping things simple but catchy-as-hell. By keeping things simpler, they made a more sophisticated pop album.

The album is about having the most fun and living life to the fullest. That topic is established with track number one “No Fear”. The club-flavored dance-pop ditty with a well-timed beat drop in the chorus has the almost trademark BINI message of self-assurance and uniting against life’s trials and tribulations. It’s a pleasurably exuberant joint that perfectly jumpstarts the record.  

“Lagi” is a bop and features an infectious synth riff that won’t be lost in, say, a LANY song or any 80’s influenced synth-pop group. A positive and delightful love song, also reminiscent of “Biglang Liko” by Ron Henley. A perfect bubblegum pop song. The title track “I Feel Good” is a breezy pop tune. I love that piano riff buried beneath those beats.

The musical arrangement of “Lagi” by BINI, one of the premiere P-pop groups nowadays, is a  pageant of joviality. Layered vocal arrangements jumpstart things, then a procession of fizzy synthesizer lines that inject lightheartedness to the entire song. The lyrical trip is straightforward and textbook, conjecturing boisterously what love is before leaping into a torrent of romantic propositions. When all facets congregate, the outcome is bliss. This is archetypal bubblegum. This bubbly love song is unquestionably LSS-inducing and is tailor-fit for the girl band. “Lagi” positions itself currently as the group’s defining song.

The title track “I Feel Good” is a breezy pop tune. I love that piano riff buried beneath those beats.

“Huwag muna tayong umuwi / Mundo'y tahimik sa iyong tabi / Dito muna, muna / Maaga pang hatinggabi / Naglalaho ang dilim sa iyong ngiti…” goes the chorus of “Huwag Muna Tayong Umuwi”, BINI’s first Tagalog slow ballad. And this track should go down as their first transcendental mega hit song if there’s any justice in this world. A song on the same lyrical level as “MAPA” or “What?” or “The Light”. And the sentiments expressed here perfectly capture the youth’s present sensibilities. This is how they deal with encountering what could very well be a promising relationship. And the song also exploits all the members' unique vocal gifts.

Closing track “Strings” has this hardnosed pop quality to it running on a marching band sound. That BINI roll call on the bridge was an unorthodox swerve (and check out the live version with the WWE-style entrance music individual roll call that they debuted on It’s Showtime! *chef’s kiss*). This is the sinister pop side of them singing about life on baddie mode.

All in all, the nation's girl group has been bringing some freshness to the intense and highly-competitive world of P-Pop. Feel Good is comprised of five songs that puts an emphasis on the vocal hues of BINI. The entire album conveys into a sonic trip to new adventures offering the glossiest bubblegum pop.
