New Digital Single from Baby Mic Candy

Japanese-Thai hip-hop group Baby Mic Candy released their latest digital single UKERU on December 2nd.

UKERU is said to be a song of "energy and adventure" that offers a "hard-driven blend of techno and hip-hop". The track's title translates to "hilarious" or an "lol", and it was produced by Alex Sypsomos and Chin Chinawut (Chinawut Indracusin). The Thai and English parts of the lyrics were written by Sirpoppalot, a Thai hip-hop artist, while the Japanese rap parts were written by group members GOLI and YUKI.

Links to download and stream the song on various platforms are available here.

This single is the second of two back-to-back releases, following Long Khui (TRY), which hit digital platforms on November 18th. Long Khui (TRY) is said to be a good introduction to new member FIAT, who joined the group this October. It is described as a song where a "chill vibe meets modern pop and R&B" that offers a "singalong melody with empathetic lyrics". Also produced by Sypsomos and Chinawut, the song features Thai lyrics from composer and producer MVL and Japanese rap lyrics once again by GOLI and YUKI.

GOLI, Baby Mic Candy's leader, commented:

“Our project as BMC started in 2019 and took a hiatus for two years. To be reunited with MOTO in Thailand after the pandemic, and finally release our singles, RUN and TAKE OFF, with FIAT joining our group, as well as meeting new people along the way, it has been a very big step forward for us. We are very grateful for the new goals we have set out for ourselves as a four-member group.

Our journey in Thailand has made every day exciting, especially for YUKI and I. As hip-hop artists, I personally feel this is important for us to be able to think things through from a broader perspective.It is thanks to this opportunity that we have learned a lot in Thailand, and we are still constantly learning new things! Our third song, Long Khui (TRY) and fourth song UKERU are both easy to hear and to sing along to. Long Khui (TRY) has a catchy and friendly sound, while UKERU has a hard and energetic beat that makes you want to shout "UKERU, UKERU". We hope you will enjoy listening to our music, support us and use our songs on social media as much as possible.”

Fans can also get acquainted with Baby Mic Candy through their YouTube weekly series, "B.M.C.
