Introducing Thai Musician, Phum Viphurit, Who Released His Latest Single 'Balter Baby'

Written by: Adristi Putri Febrianti
 
Thai musician, Phum Viphurit, has just released his latest work, an instrumental piece titled Balter Baby, which was launched in early October 2024. This song continues the story of the alter ego character Paul Vibhavadi, who was first introduced in the previous single, The Other Side, released at the end of September 2024.

In Balter Baby, Paul is depicted as facing the idol from a sloth-worshipping group he encounters in his quest to reach the magical Himmapan forest. This narrative adds depth to the character created by Phum.

Phum Viphurit takes a step to experiment with dance and house music genres in this song, showcasing a more free creative side compared to the musical style he usually presents. This demonstrates his artistic development and desire to explore various nuances in his music.

Phum, born on August 16, 1995, with the real name Viphurit Siritip, is known for his neo-soul and folk-pop music. He has performed in Indonesia at various festivals, and his songs like Lover Boy and Hello, Anxiety have become international hits.

Phum Viphurit shares the story of the character Paul through the instrumental song Balter Baby, which has no vocals. Phum admits that he felt challenged while working on this song, explaining that Balter Baby depicts Paul being swayed by his feelings in a dance scene.

This song is designed to fully focus on the rhythm to accompany people dancing. Phum has previously released instrumental music, but there was always a bit of vocals. But this time, this song is indeed meant to accompany people dancing.
