WARNING: this is a long comment. ok. lol. (But I hope you'll still read it 😛) I AM SOOOO IN LOVE WITH THIS COM.PLEX EP. Growing up, I love love country songs. I was never into pop or rnb or rock or raps or any others, usually just country songs. But then I came across SB19 and I slowly transitioned into loving their music, especially Pablo's rich lyricism. And when I came to know them deeper, I loved their story and how they came about and it was all super inspiring and encouraging. Then now, Ken suddenly sidelined as a soloist and brought out the adventurous and experimemtal Felip who suddenly turned my world upside down (like literally). Coz I never thought that I would ever love these types of songs that he had released. It was also a very big adjustment for me but since I love Felip and his passion for music, I learned to appreciate his creations more. Not only because they were presented so artistically and aesthetically, but more so, they were all so raw and new and fresh and vulnerable to me. I saw one of his interviews about this album and Felip said that he is presenting these songs to us like pieces of art, abstract canvasses, and it's all up to each of us to interpret it on our own. So there is really no right or wrong interpretations, we all see it as it is and it will just give us its meaning based on how we saw it and how we felt about it. And it just feels so true. Despite its big big potential, his music overall is not really something that is targetted to go big but more like, it is targetting anyone that can relate to it. So it is more personal. What I especially love about this album is that, Felip gave us a piece of his brain in here (The visualizer explains this. You can see his tears where he let us inside his mind through his eye, on how he sees things. Inside, we see him falling down and stuck with the colorful background around him. This means that he also have struggles on his own and the backgroud just show his potentials and complexities. Then he let us see his darkside, represented by the skull which was eventually covered with flesh then the FELIP word comes in and melts. And it goes on repeat. It is like letting us see a more vulnerable side of him and letting us know that this skull is still him, this dark side is him, the one falling down is him, the colorful background are part of him, and all that is Felip). This is Felip opening up, unravelling a vulnerable side of him to the public eye. As introverted as he is (ex. Felip said he can't even order food from a fastfood counter because it's too much of a conversation for him), I commend him for being brave enough to bring this side of him out and talk about his own complexities (which we all have too). This album is so cohesive and the songs are all interconnected with each other, like the whole experience of listening to it is telling you a story. The opening song is Rocksta which depicts a more bold and confident Felip, telling us that all of us are Rockstars in own way and that we should be more confident and bold about who we are and in whatever we do. Then followed by Superiority, where he talks about his uniqueness and authenticity. In here, he is saying you think you can be me but "nope", you can never be me because I am unique on my own. No one can ever be the same as me. I think that this is the superiority that he talking about. Our tendency to copt others is a weakness and it makes us feel inferior. So we need to realize that all of us are uniquely different from each other and that no matter how hard you try to copy others, you can never do it because you are different on your own. So it's like, why not bank on my own uniqueness instead? Once we truly accept being uniquely different, we overcome this weakness, we realize that we don't need to be like anyone, then this is the real superiority coz not everyone can really do this (a lot of people now are just going with the flow and follows what is dictated by "the society"...only a few are really brave enough to just be their authentic self). Next we move to Mictest, this song for me talks about how proud he is of his roots, his language, and where he came from. He is already considered a big star in the Philippine music industry and so his music can really go main stream. From Palayo to Mictest and even the other bisaya rap verses on his other songs, you can really see here that he is proud of his descent, not only a proud Filipino but also a proud Bisaya. Philippines is a diverse country with very diverse cultures for each reason. And Felip doing this, he is representing all the Bisayas. I remember him saying one time before that he was shy to bring out his compositions because they were written in Bisaya but then Pablo encouraged him that his love and passion for music should transcend language barriers. So what if it's in Bisaya? So what if you can't write a song in tagalog or english? Being able to compose music and write lyrics (whatever language that is) is already a very big WOW and a God-given gift. And now, many loved his Bisaya songs which I think can encourage more Filipinos from other ethnic groups to also bring out their songs and be proud of it. Moving on, after Mictest is Drinksmoke. He said in an interview that this song was really made to speak out for those who are drinking and smoking and how people judge them negatively just because they do. We all got demons in our heads and these vices are our escape from these demons. So we all should not be judgemental about other people because we don't really know what they're going through. We may not be drinking or smoking literally but we all have our own unhealthy vices that we do to cope up with our own pains. So whatever it is that we do, may it be smoking or drinking or eating a lot or computer games or shopping or tattooing or piercing or any other stuff, we all should be more understanding. No more prejudices, BAWAL JUDGEMENTAL. And then we have the song Criminal, which I think speaks about the dark side that we all have inside us. This song goes deep because it speaks about our own state of mind, our mental health. I think in this song, Felip is talking to himself, trying to save himself from his own self. He said he had poison in his blood stuck on him and he just wanna take it out but can't. Whether we admit it or not, we all have gone through this, being stuck inside our own maze, imprisoning or drowning our ownselves. We all wanna save ourselves from ourselves but can't until we all somehow gets addicted to this feeling. And so it really takes a "criminal", a thief, to like finally come and steal us, take us out of our drowning self. And this criminal is none other than ourselves. No one save us except our ownselves. Lastly, he ends the album with Straydogs. Here he is talking about all the haters talking s*** about him. He denotes that all these people are just like stray dogs barking at him, woofing, but he wouldn't care. He says he's a villain and not a superhero. He is not here to satisfy these straydogs and their banters. He is not here to save them from their own miseries and insecurities that is projected through the "HATE" they're all throwing at him. Felip is the villain, remember? So they can just keep barking but he'll just continue flexing (his clothes, his talents, his influence, his style, his music) no matter what they say. It's like he's already come to the point where he just shows up what he wanna show up and wouldn't really care about the barkings from his haters. Geez. All the songs are just so poppin' good. It's really an experience to listen to these songs which are so uniquely different from each other but also so interconnected. This whole album is only more than 15 minutes long but the feeling you get is a roller coaster of emotions. It really speaks about all our complexities, these mixed personalities and that we have to deal with within ourselves. We all can be confident of ourselves (rocksta, superiority) and embrace our roots and where we came from (mictest) but at the end of the day, we still have demons inside us that is pulling us down and we have to deal with it (drinksmoke), so we all just gotta continue trying to save ourselves (criminal) even if have to be our own criminals. Finally, once we get through all these and deal with these complexities, we can already face our haters and everyone barking at us without care (straydogs). We'll no longer be dictated by whatever they say and whatever they want us to be or want us to do. We will all just be our own unique and beautiful authentic self, flexing our talents, who we are, what we do and whatever we have. The feeling I really got were all goosebumps and tears and complex emotions but it left me an uplifting end after these realizations. COM.PLEX is very unexpectedly so well crafted and made. Very awesome and I just love love it so much. In view hereof, I hope I was able to help out anyone out there who is going through the same. My interpretations maybe different from others or maybe the same, but what matters most is what these songs made us feel and the journey it made us all go through while listening to it. Thank you all so much for reading all my thoughts up to this point. Have a great day ahead!🥰🥰🥰 P.S. Felip's voice though, eargasm at its finest. And his musicality, the way he mixes guitars and those beats and all the unconventional techniques he did with his songs, worldclass. I hope his songs reaches more people and I wish everyone all the best that this whole world can offer.❤❤❤ -end-
I really like it. I have learned a lot of new things about Felip's EP because of you. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and feelings about his music. I also hope that many more people around the world would come to appreciate his music and will also transcend in whatever complexities the listeners may have in their lives.
It's always fun watching you react on Felip. Glad you were still able to upload this rv on his Complex ep. He's really grown as an artist and i think it's already in him even as Ken. His creativity and versatility shows. His Complex Ep is incredibly crazy amazing. Every track gives you diff flavors indeed. Criminal flexes his style and ability. Stray Dogs is a fave one from first heard unreleased then with that angst + swag perf. And your dog entered while playing it how cute!☺️ Felip is such a genuinely unique and great artist for real.💯🔥👍
He did 3 voices in this song , Criminal ...so unique ,totally versatile guy... For me this is a very nice song ,give me chills especially the background .. I think it's more of a Latin beat ( Reggaeton /Flamingo type of music ) soul searching vibes !!! Thanks April for featuring our Ken... Superiority is nice too .......
I think i viewed all your sb19 reviews in 2days 😂 and fell in love with ken hard when i attended the pagtatag concert. Cameras don’t do him justice and his voice… I am in shock.
after hearing criminal, I started sharing the ep to all my friends first thing in the morning, cuz I'm just that proud of our boi 😭❤️ HAHAH it's sooo good
every reaction of yours i always look forward to, because as a sisiw also, i was dead multiple amount of times and watching you dying is so relatable :D HAHAHAH
I always look forward to your reaction on everything about Felip 🫶🏻 You always notices every little details ❤ Every voice is his even the adlibs 😂 So amazing how Felip known as the base and has low voice can do that range on criminal's intro. The power 🖤
