Artificially Flavored! by Pamcy

Pamcy’s New EP has arrived!!
Here is the secret Ingredients of her “Artificially Flavoured”.


"Why did you pick this theme which is about artificially flavored?"

"Back in 2021, I was conceptualizing my next mini-project. At that time, aespa's EP Savage was just released. My personal favorite from that EP is "YEPPI YEPPI," and it had this infectious, saccharine sound that I decided would be one of my references for my next project. While my ideas were slowly coming together during that time, I went out on an afternoon walk one random day and listened to the EP with my airpods. When I got back home, I put away my airpods and looked at my airpods case, which happened to be a Hubba Bubba airpods case. While looking at it, I saw the words "ARTIFICIALLY FLAVORED," and that's when I realized I had found the title of my project. Everything just came together right after that moment. I thought it was the perfect theme because I wanted to have another sweet and fizzy project similar to my first ever release, Bottle"


[Pamcy's best three artificially flavored drinks]

• Vanilla Coke -
This soda is nostalgic to me and my younger brothers. When we were young, my family would go to Subic Bay Freeport Zone for vacation. It used to be a US naval base and there was a commissary that sold American products. Whenever we're there, I would always ask to buy Vanilla Coke because we couldn't buy it elsewhere back then. This is still one of my favorite sodas and the first track I released was named after it. - pamcy.bandcamp.com/track/vanilla-coke

• Lemon iced tea -
The powdered version is a staple in our home. I personally love citrus-flavored drinks and I think it's the perfect drink for the extremely hot weather here.

• Sago at Gulaman -
If I could only drink one Filipino beverage for the rest of my life, my pick would be Sago at Gulaman. It's a sweet and refreshing drink that goes well with everything. It's fun to drink even on its own because it comes with sago pearls and gulaman jelly.


[Pamcy's worst three artificially flavored drinks]

• Sparkling water -
This isn't common in the Philippines, and I only discovered it when I went to Europe for the first time. I was traumatized by it. It was flavorless and painful to drink.

• Orange soda -
I personally think this is a weak imitation of actual oranges and freshly-squeezed orange juice. I like the real thing more.

• Energy drinks -
I tried an energy drink once back when I was in college, out of desperation. I needed to stay up all night to study and I was curious to know if it would work. I was appalled by the overly artificial flavor and I threw it away after my first sip.
