[@stcsantiago5232]

This is the climax of his career, Bamboo at his Prime, refining as wine as time passes by

[@amandahernandez8421]

Nope this was in his prime. His vocals and mobility in his live performance are declining though gracefully due to ageing. His style now is a mix of rnb, pop, and a lil rock. It's difficult for him to hve the full rock attitude since he is no longer with his band members whom are equally talented. Bamboo has to tone down para makasabay yung mga sessionista nya and of course he has ddveloped a style influenced by ASAP musicality

[@stcsantiago5232]

@@amandahernandez8421 yeah, exactly, this is Bamboo at his prime! in vocals & showmanship, Bamboo's elite style is limitless almost out of this world. When I watch him now he still has that 🔥 that's unbelievable at his age, the essence is there, he's very solid and consistent and brings rich colors and depth, but he's more grounded now. the Asap idea I think is that he needs to be more acceptable to the mass to reach all people from all walks of life. I think he's Noypi, Helleluyah, and Tatsulok songs are masterpieces. He makes every song timeless or memorable.
