Almost 7 months after B.I.’s first fanmeet in the Philippines, Filo IDs got to see him again live in action last March 5 for his B.I. 2023 Asia Tour L.O.L. Hidden Stage in Manila.


With the PICC Plenary Hall full of anticipation from fans, the Korean rapper B.I. (Kim Han Bin) opened the show with his hit single ‘BTBT’. Following that, he performed his Show Me the Money 3 performance ‘Be I’ and solo single ‘One and Only’.

He also performed other top songs from his past albums and singles such as ‘Waterfall’, ‘Flame’, ‘Stay’, ‘Got it like that’, ‘Stay’, and many more. He serenaded Filo IDs with his sweet songs ‘Lover’ and ‘Middle with you’.


He showed how much he loves his fans by roaming through the venue not just once, but twice, to meet and greet every single Filo IDs in the middle of his performance. King of fanservice indeed!


With the arrival of a special guest, fans screamed loudly as James Reid surprised the fans with his ‘You and I’ performance. During his ment with B.I., James recommended him to eat balut to commemorate his visit in the Philippines.

Time to get crazy with James Reid’s latest track

In this track, James Reid sings about young love, mind games, and going above and beyond just to impress a girl, with the idea that the “chase” can make you a little crazy, but that’s what makes it so fun.

The song was first released as an Amazon Music Original last May 14, 2021 on their streaming platform and has made huge waves in the global music industry. As far as New York City, James has been able to share the true power and talent of Pinoy music in international markets. The positive feedback landed him a digital billboard right in the heart of Times Square where it highlighted the track for securing the number 1 spot on their “Mixtape Asia” playlist.

Just last Friday, Careless Music released the track on all other streaming platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, and Tidal for the rest of the world to hear. Along with it, Careless Music released a refreshingly candid visualizer on their Youtube Channel where viewers see random clips of James enjoying his time under the sun in a motorbike or by the beach vibing with some guys and lounging in a bathtub. Yes, we told you it’s pretty candid but in a way works out perfectly to pair with this feel-good bop.

James Reid Unveils His Silly Side in Latest Music Video

Last Saturday night, August 14, 2021, James Reid released a wonderfully quirky music video for his latest single “Hello”. In this video, Reid shows another side of himself—a playful, whimsical side that’s never been seen before. Sporting a striking mustache while donning 80’s-styled, flashy couture, Reid initially portrays the normalcy of daily quarantine life with a lot of tongue in cheek that later escalates into a string of bizarre and extravagant events.

The funk-pop single Hello, released more than a month ago, was described by Reid to portray “the eagerness to make connections and to personally say hello again to someone” after more than a year in lockdown. While satirical at its core, this amusing music video serves as a visual representation of this sentiment—one that is felt by everyone during these unconventional times.

From the initial vision of the Careless team, they bring in Director Gab Valenciano to inject the video with his signature style of using clever film techniques combined with an infectious fast-paced energy to depict the craziness that one finds themselves in when locked indoors for such a long time. This purely collaborative project even finds Reid himself as part of both the pre-production creative process and the post-production editing.

In the video’s Youtube description, Reid pokes fun at himself through a mischievously sarcastic, self-quoted statement on introspection, growth, and freedom—as if it were written by one of his odd mustachioed personas.

“In the true Careless spirit, I wanted to create something that breaks the stereotype of being an ‘artista’”, Reid explains, “I have serious goals but I don’t take myself too seriously. Bottom line is: we were just having fun. Even joking at my own expense.”

He reveals a self-awareness of his unique position in the entertainment industry through a mishmash of overly glamorized close-up shots and humorous brand-integrated skits, which sarcastically portrays what his own celebrity life is like.

Sprinkling tidbits of amusement for both themselves and their fans, the Careless team inserted some of Reid’s personal items and even props from previous productions into the “Filipino-eclectic meets retrofuturistic” set design as easter eggs for fans to spot.

“This project hits close to home as it is a collaboration between a good friend I’ve known for over a decade, and a culmination of a creative and colorful past life I hold very close to my heart,” Valenciano shares, “our main goal was to showcase a side of James that nobody has ever seen, but also understand the effects of this whole pandemic while staying at home. In this case, we decided to shed some lightness to the situation by adding humor and wit, but not compromise the substance of it all.”

The music video features Reid with over ten of his different personas to illustrate how one’s individuality is molded by an infinite number of factors, all pieced and webbed together to be one person. Valenciano points out, “we all have personalities embedded deep within all of us, and sometimes we just need to let go, let loose, and embrace who we really are.”

Listen to James’ “Hello” on Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, and Tidal. Check out the music video too on Careless Music’s Youtube channel.

Bop to the funky beat of James Reid’s latest single “Hello”

This latest track tells the story of how a simple “Hello” can lead (and possibly fast-track) two people into an experience-riddled relationship—one with its whirlwinds of ups and downs. Its lyrics tell the tale of how one’s excitement to say “hello” itself also ironically paints a picture of the potential romance not working out. And that’s okay. Because it’s freeing to enjoy the temporary, especially when you know it’s temporary. Much like knowing that summer is going to end, you’re not sad because, even with it gone, you now have warm memories to look back fondly on.

James also drew inspiration from the past year that the world spent in lockdown. “People have been itching to go out again and experience life,” he explains. “This song portrays that eagerness to make connections, to personally say hello again to someone.”

While this may be the song to cap off his three-single series, this doesn’t mean it’s rest time again for James. His journey through music so far has only reignited his drive to get back into the studio to explore and create new sounds, so there are definitely more exciting things to come soon from James and from Careless Music.
