JAKARTA - The songwriter based in Bangkok, Thailand, Phum Viphurit introduced a new single with the title The Other Side which will be released on September 24.

Through this song, FUm is increasingly developing his art into a new territory that now includes storytelling and dance music. He also introduced a new approach in the music he carries and songs he wrote.

In the latest single, FUm introduces Paul Vibhavadi, the adorable Goodminton with human character on the cover of Phum's second album, The Greng Jai Piece, which has also become his logo as well as the main character on The Other Side.

"Basically, it is a combination of Tiankang and humans who are trying to adapt to the life of the city and its pace. But it shouldn't be in the city because it is Platokang," said Phum Viphurit in his statement, Monday, September 23.

The Other Side follows Paul's journey to find a place that really suits him.

He found a map to Himmapan, a magical forest in Buddhist culture that is neither heaven nor hell. It was a peace relief where time didn't go and he could live in peace and silence, because that's what abulkang coveted, "said Phum.

"He decided to leave everything behind and follow the map, but before he arrived at the gates of the forest, he found a tribe that worships Tiankang and thought he was a savior of the kind Lisan al Gaib. He's not that, but he pretended because he liked him even though he realized it was wrong and he wasn't the person they were looking for."

In addition to introducing listeners to Paul's world, The Other Side also features a type of music that is long loved by Phum but can only now explore it.

"Since the first I liked house music in the early 2000s and wanted to combine my way of playing guitar with music with that BPM as long as that," he said.

Overall, The Other Side is just the beginning of various surprises that will soon come from the Phum Viphurit.

Together with other new songs to be released, this single is expected to leave a deep impression on both old and new fans.

This feels like a chapter one of a film I made, if you look at it from a creative point of view. I hope people interpret it the way they want it. That's my biggest hope," he said.
