Bent Kittithach Releases ‘Kalasin Blues’ Signaling New Musical Direction

Bangkok: "Bent Kittithach," signed to "Kicks Records," releases his single "Kalasin Blues," showcasing a new and more mature musical style. According to Thai News Agency, after releasing two live-session songs, "Khwan Bin" featuring Eed Ponglangsaon and "Samae," Bent Kittithach Pordongko signals a new direction, departing from his previous work with "Kicks Records." He is now poised to move forward with a more mature style that incorporates his personal preferences and childhood familiarity, culminating in the release of "Kalasin Blues." "Kalasin Blues" draws inspiration from Bent Kittithach's life, born and raised in Kalasin province. With a deep-rooted passion for blues, he learned about the genre's origins and infused this knowledge into his music. The song narrates the straightforward journey of a Kalasin kid studying in Bangkok, distanced from home and friends. As shared dreams fade, Bent forges his own path while dealing with life's burdens, societal challenges, and a lifestyle that feels inauthentic. The lyrics, "I secretly left the wine behind and went to refill," reflect the irony of being in a place where one cannot truly be themselves. Despite savoring the finest things, there's a yearning for the familiar taste of home, represented by a spicy raw beef salad. The song also conveys the sentiment of "wanting to sing blues but being a country boy," highlighting that no matter how immersed one becomes in international music, their true essence remains tied to their roots. Bent Kittithach presents "Kalasin Blues" with catchy and uplifting music, characteristic of blues, despite its underlying heaviness. His true happiness lies in the warmth of his Kalasin home, surrounded by family and friends-a comfort Bangkok cannot offer. The song is a fictional narrative reflecting Bent's longing for home, life's realities, and the genuine self of a young Kalasin native who wishes to share his story through music. "Kalasin Blues," marking Bent Kittithach's new artistic journey, is now available on YouTube BENT and al l streaming platforms. Stay tuned for more from this talented young man from Kalasin!
