Background and release

The release of Bamesis was announced in mid-July 2024 for the following August 8, almost one year and a half after Sour & Sweet . [1] The title is a portmanteau with "BamBam" and "genesis", to signify the world that BamBam has created. [2] The singer produced the album himself, incorporating his stories and personal growth: Bamesis moves away from pop music, instead featuring songs from different genres ranging from hip hop to Latin music. [3] "Last Parade," the only song not in English, embodies confidence and ambition; "Mi Último Deseo" is about redemption; "Must Be Nice" expresses BamBam's feelings for his fans, while "Thank You Come Again" is a thank you to haters. [3] [4]

Reception

For Nandini Iyengar of Bollywood Hungama , Bamesis is a confident and exploratory project, "a sonic universe where BamBam has complete creative control, experimenting with different genres and styles without losing his signature flair," and concluded that he had finally found his identity as a soloist. [4]

Commercial performance

Bamesis debuted at #20 on the Circle Weekly Album Chart in its release week, [5] rising at #2 the following week. [6] It was the 11th best-selling album of the month with 97,123 copies sold. [7]
