BINI's 'A Parallel World' for Dreamworks' 'Forgotten Island' includes Filipino lyrics
BINI has unveiled their brand-new song for Dreamworks' upcoming fantasy movie Forgotten Island, and it comes with a Filipino touch!
Titled A Parallel World, the song is part of the soundtrack of the animated film starring H.E.R. and Liza Soberano. While the three-minute track is primarily in English, it also seamlessly weaves in Filipino lyrics.
Some of the Tagalog lines include "Makulay ating daan, isang milyon ang larawan," "Matapos man ang mundo, maligaya ako sa nag-iisang tala sa langit," and "You and I, be stuck together, babangon kahit matumba."
Earlier, Dreamworks shared a behind-the-scenes teaser of the girl group singing the song in a recording booth.
A Parallel World is available to listen to on Spotify.
Apart from BINI, the film's soundtrack also features music from Broadway legend Lea Salonga, Kings of P-pop SB19, and Sophia Laforteza of global girl group KATSEYE. H.E.R. and Soberano will also showcase their musical talents in the track BRB in the movie.
Centering around Filipino folklore, Forgotten Island tells the story of longtime best friends Jo and Raissa, who find themselves stranded on a remote, forgotten, and magical island called Nakali. The only way home, they discover, may involve having to forget each other and their friendship.
It is written and directed by Joel Crawford and Januel Mercado, who previously worked together on Puss in Boots: The Last Wish and The Croods: A New Age. Completing the cast are Manny Jacinto, Dolly de Leon, Ronny Chieng, Dave Franco, and Jenny Slate.
Universal Pictures is set to release Forgotten Island theatrically on Sept. 25.
