Perspective
Led by twins Paolo Guico and Miguel Guico, Ben&Ben announced on social media that they will be releasing their debut album in May 2019 after topping streaming platforms and radio charts with singles "Kathang Isip", "Ride Home" and "Maybe the Night".[2][3]
Limasawa Street is derived from the Butuanon word 'masawa' which means 'light', and is also the name of a street that is special in one of the Ben&Ben members, grounded with a "deeply personal story that offers the comforts of life and home".[4] Paolo shared, "We wanted the album to represent a place of light by singing about hopeful perspectives in troubling situations."[5] In November 2019, during a press interview, Ben&Ben mentioned that the band's team are currently discussing about a possibility of releasing a deluxe version of the album.[6][7]
Singles
"Mitsa (Salamat)" is a love song and a reminder at the same time. It teaches us how our time and love didn’t go to waste despite the relationship coming to an end. “Salamat” in the title teaches us that even if the fire could no longer burn, we must remain grateful for the feelings, memories, and lessons that it gave us.
The first single "Mitsa (Salamat)" was released 3 months before the album was launched. 'Mitsa' translates to candle wick.
The second single "Pagtingin" and the third single "Araw-Araw" from the album were released on May 2, 2019.[9]
