Bowen Thi Releases New Single 'Favorite'  Image

Upcoming artist Bowen Thi returns with 'Favorite' after his debut single, 'Ain't My Fault,' under his new moniker. 'Favorite' is a song detailing temporary love and the feelings that follow it. Produced by Nicho, 'Favorite' is a soft, indie-inspired track that utilizes keys and subtle drums to create a nostalgic experience. The repeating chorus throughout the song hypnotizes the listener, hopefully causing memories to uncover once again.

"Favorite is a song that doesn't dwell on the past but rather elevates it. I see temporary love and relationships as building blocks for you and the person you shared time with. And although it may not have been perfect, as a partner, there are glimpses of yourself in people you won't find often. That's the beauty of this kind of love."

The video, directed by Bowen Thi himself and shot with help from friends Mars Alva & LuzC, follows a lonely man in a monster mask as he goes about his days unorthodoxly, whether it would be the coffee with himself or the trip he takes himself on to an overpriced gym. Throughout the video, we see this character daydream about dancing in a field, eventually ending with an unmasking that mirrors the same dreams. Inspired heavily by Wes Anderson and Harmony Korine's works, the unique style Bowen Thi invites to the screen encapsulates a nostalgic feeling, similar to the one the accompanying song provides.
