Ben&Ben’s “Leaves (Reimagined)” finds new meaning in second chances and forgiveness

The award-winning band revisits its enduring classic with a grander sound and a deeper reflection on healing, forgiveness, and human vulnerability

Nearly a decade after “Leaves” made a dent in pop culture consciousness with its unassuming tenderness, Ben&Ben reinterprets the heartwarming ballad with “Leaves (Reimagined),” a new rendition that transforms the original into a more mature reflection on forgiveness, second chances, and the complexities of growing together.

Instead of recreating the original, “Leaves (Reimagined)” approaches the track from a different emotional vantage point, mirroring the profound depths and tensions of life in sonic form. The orchestral elements do not make the track bigger or more ambitious; instead, they give the emotional peaks and quiet moments greater dimension and more room to sink in.

M1ss Jade So releases “BAPHOMETA”, MV watchparty on September 5

Shortly after her RUBADGE win and its official release on the 4th episode of Drag Race Down Under vs. The World Season 1, M1ss Jade So unveils a devilish drag look accompanied by a new song of the same name, “BAPHOMETA”, produced by collaborator Naive Supreme—out now, under Offshore Music.

Coming down from the clouds of nebula, the esoteric Drag Queen superstar and current Filipino pride, M1ss Jade So, morphs into the occult figure “Baphomet” for the category “Wildlife Couture” in the latest episode of the Drag Race competition. The transformation draws inspiration from her initial idea of dressing up as a goat. Still, in true M1ss Jade So fashion, she pushed the envelope further and adapted the character “BAPHOMETA”—a mix of the polarizing being and her own obscure, twisted yet personal vision.
