<p>MANILA -- The Nation&#x27;s Girl Group BINI has collaborated with the Orchestra of the Filipino Youth (OFY) for the song &quot;Oxygen,&quot; which blends pop and classical sounds.  </p><p>&quot;I feel like this is a different one because it&#x27;s our first time collaborating with an orchestra group. And it&#x27;s fun that the mainstream and those kind of music can collaborate with a pop group. So it&#x27;s fun that we had a chance to have a collaboration. And with this song, you can see our different sides.  And this is the first time that we&#x27;re going to perform this song, Oxygen, and With a smile. So it&#x27;s really exciting that people will be able to listen to it,&quot; BINI said in a press release.</p><p>BINI and OFY&#x27;s music collaboration, which is &quot;an uplifting anthem that hits like a coming-of-age story,&quot; is part of Coke Studio Season 9.</p><p>&quot;It&#x27;s our first time to have a mashup song and we collaborated with the orchestra. Because the mainstream of the orchestra is classical music. So this song is a good collaboration. It&#x27;s new to people who listen to P-pop and orchestra collab,&quot; BINI shared. </p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/58KcYLwT-gU?&amp;list=RD58KcYLwT-gU&amp;start_radio=1autoplay=1&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div><div><br/></div><p>The track is described as &quot;emotional, powerful, and made to resonate with anyone finding their place, their strength, and their voice. A true celebration of youth, growth, and what OPM can become when worlds collide.&quot;</p><p>The musically unique collaboration that is deeply resonant and proudly Filipino, is driven by shared passion and purpose of BINI and OFY. </p><p>“In terms of performance, because orchestras, most likely, are people who only know how to play in halls, special events, or concerts. But if we bring it closer to modern pop culture, the orchestral music, or the orchestra itself, gives it a different texture, “ BINI said.</p><p>“BINI fans will discover orchestral music, and at the same time, orchestral music enthusiasts will also discover a new flavor with BINI. It&#x27;s beautiful because both are considered Filipino music because it&#x27;s part of the identity of Filipino culture, both classical and pop,” said OFY. </p><p>BINI members also shared the message of their music colloboration.</p><p>&quot;We hope that more people will appreciate different genres of music. Not just pop, R&amp;B, or hip-hop. Because there&#x27;s a lot. We just need to bring it to the mainstream and make it known. Thank you. ... We want to say to our Blooms, to the supporters of Coke. And to the normal people who always remember to look for their oxygen. That they shouldn&#x27;t lose hope in life. And live your life with a smile. Yes, live with a smile,&quot; BINI shared.</p><p>Prior to &quot;Oxygen,&quot; BINI worked with OFY in its &quot;BINIverse&quot; concerts at Araneta Coliseumn and Philippine Arena.</p><div><br/></div><div><strong> RELATED VIDEOS:</strong></div><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9Uvg1nDQ08g?autoplay=1&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3JRaZGwej64?autoplay=1&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/n1jmtTPgdMs?autoplay=1&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div>
