BINI are set to make history as the first Filipino act to grace Genius‘ ‘Open Mic’ stage, marking another major milestone for the Nation’s Girl Group.
The group’s debut performance is scheduled to premiere on August 27, 2026 at 11:00 PM (PHT), with the eight-member act performing their latest single, “A Parallel World.” The appearance comes as the group continues to expand their global presence, representing the Philippines on one of the world’s prominent music platforms.
Released on July 23, 2026, “A Parallel World” is part of the official soundtrack of DreamWorks’ highly-anticipated animated film, Forgotten Island, which is set to arrive in Philippine cinemas on September 13, 2026. The film highlights the colorful culture of the Philippines, featuring a largely Filipino voice cast and soundtrack lineup.
The uplifting anthem will also receive a reimagined version featuring Tony Award-winning singer Lea Salonga. The collaboration adds another layer to the song’s impact, particularly as Salonga is set to make history on September 4, 2026 as the first Filipino to officially receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
In more relevant news, Forgotten Island recently held an advance special screening at SM Mall of Asia on August 25, 2026, attended by directors Joel Crawford and Januel P. Mercado, as well as lead voice actors H.E.R. and Liza Soberano. SB19, who are also featured on the film’s soundtrack, were among the special guests at the event.
BINI’s Genius appearance also arrives amid their ongoing Signals World Tour, which kicked off on June 20, 2026 at the SM Mall of Asia Arena. During the tour’s opening, the group gave fans an early preview of “A Parallel World” ahead of its official release.
