This week’s #MusicMonday song is HYBS (ไฮบ์ส) – “Tip Toe”. HYBS is a Thai indie band made up of two members: Alyn (เจมส์) and Karn (กานต์). They debuted with their English single “Ride” on October 8th, 2021, under JUICEY, a Thai record label. HYBS is known for their groovy basslines and synth-pop songs. They had a significant influence on the Thai indie scene with just one studio album, Making Streak, released in 2022.
On June 20, 2023, HYBS released the R&B single “Tip Toe”. “Tip Toe” is a love song with romantic lyrics describing a strong attraction towards someone.
“If you’re in the mood
We can take it to the moon
Just like a movie scene
Table for two
No need to be fed
I want you instead
If you′re in the mood
We can tip toe to the moon”
Watch the “Tip Toe” music video:
The song’s music video consisted of the pair appearing on a talk show to promote their new single, “Tip Toe”. The duo is invited to play several games by spinning a wheel. The music video features amusing scenes of the members playing various game product ads. The video perfectly captures the funky vibe of the song with its retro aesthetic and absurd plot.
Unfortunately, the duo disbanded on January 10, 2024, announcing that it was never the members’ intention for HYBS to be a long-term endeavor.
