I didn&#8217;t have too much knowledge on music theory, but I knew that these chords in this order sound pretty sick.\u201d\n          <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-283529\" class=\"content_block diptych triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper half_gutter_right gutter_btm\">\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_760,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/bunii-26_l9e5hx\/buniis-heartfelt-altrock-is-wise-beyond-his-years.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_220,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/bunii-26_l9e5hx\/buniis-heartfelt-altrock-is-wise-beyond-his-years.jpg 220w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_300,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/bunii-26_l9e5hx\/buniis-heartfelt-altrock-is-wise-beyond-his-years.jpg 300w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_400,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/bunii-26_l9e5hx\/buniis-heartfelt-altrock-is-wise-beyond-his-years.jpg 400w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_600,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/bunii-26_l9e5hx\/buniis-heartfelt-altrock-is-wise-beyond-his-years.jpg 600w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_750,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/bunii-26_l9e5hx\/buniis-heartfelt-altrock-is-wise-beyond-his-years.jpg 750w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_840,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/bunii-26_l9e5hx\/buniis-heartfelt-altrock-is-wise-beyond-his-years.jpg 840w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_960,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/bunii-26_l9e5hx\/buniis-heartfelt-altrock-is-wise-beyond-his-years.jpg 960w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1260,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/bunii-26_l9e5hx\/buniis-heartfelt-altrock-is-wise-beyond-his-years.jpg 1260w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1800,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/bunii-26_l9e5hx\/buniis-heartfelt-altrock-is-wise-beyond-his-years.jpg 1800w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_2400,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/bunii-26_l9e5hx\/buniis-heartfelt-altrock-is-wise-beyond-his-years.jpg 2400w,\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 50vw\" alt=\"bunii\u2019s heartfelt alt-rock is wise beyond his years\"><\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"media_wrapper half_gutter_left\" style=\"\">\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_760,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/bunii-30_emaqug\/buniis-heartfelt-altrock-is-wise-beyond-his-years.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_220,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/bunii-30_emaqug\/buniis-heartfelt-altrock-is-wise-beyond-his-years.jpg 220w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_300,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/bunii-30_emaqug\/buniis-heartfelt-altrock-is-wise-beyond-his-years.jpg 300w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_400,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/bunii-30_emaqug\/buniis-heartfelt-altrock-is-wise-beyond-his-years.jpg 400w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_600,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/bunii-30_emaqug\/buniis-heartfelt-altrock-is-wise-beyond-his-years.jpg 600w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_750,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/bunii-30_emaqug\/buniis-heartfelt-altrock-is-wise-beyond-his-years.jpg 750w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_840,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/bunii-30_emaqug\/buniis-heartfelt-altrock-is-wise-beyond-his-years.jpg 840w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_960,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/bunii-30_emaqug\/buniis-heartfelt-altrock-is-wise-beyond-his-years.jpg 960w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1260,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/bunii-30_emaqug\/buniis-heartfelt-altrock-is-wise-beyond-his-years.jpg 1260w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1800,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/bunii-30_emaqug\/buniis-heartfelt-altrock-is-wise-beyond-his-years.jpg 1800w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_2400,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/bunii-30_emaqug\/buniis-heartfelt-altrock-is-wise-beyond-his-years.jpg 2400w,\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 50vw\" alt=\"bunii\u2019s heartfelt alt-rock is wise beyond his years\"><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"content_block paragraph triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px;

The album started out as a deluxe edition of his 2025 record <i>bastard<\/i> but quickly evolved into something bigger. Opening with a cover of The Platters\u2019 \u201cThe Great Pretender,\u201d an homage to bunii\u2019s grandfather, it explores every corner of his life right now, from early romance to marijuana dependency to the mounting pressures of music stardom. He reserves his sharpest and clearest writing, however, for his immediate family: mom and manager AnnaLyn and 12-year-old sister Joey. His song \u201cNanay,\u201d which means \u201cmom\u201d in Tagalog, is written in such a way only AnnaLyn can understand.\n          <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"content_block paragraph triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-283551\" class=\"content_block breaker triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left pull_quote\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"pull_quote\"><p>I wanted VIRGILIO to provide an understanding of <i>me<\/i>.

On stage at Baby\u2019s, all of those emotions flood through in real time as the whole room screams along right through the bracing outro: <i>Maybe if he cared about me as much as music, he wouldn&#8217;t need to make this song<\/i>.\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            It\u2019s an unglamorous ending but an honest one, an acknowledgement that bunii isn\u2019t afraid to voice and face head-on. \u201cI wanted her to know, even when I have to be away for work, there&#8217;s never a time where I&#8217;m not thinking about her,\u201d he says.\n          <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"content_block flush image\" id=\"content_block-283531\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1440,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/bunii-41_cupdwd\/buniis-heartfelt-altrock-is-wise-beyond-his-years.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_220,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/bunii-41_cupdwd\/buniis-heartfelt-altrock-is-wise-beyond-his-years.jpg 220w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_300,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/bunii-41_cupdwd\/buniis-heartfelt-altrock-is-wise-beyond-his-years.jpg 300w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_400,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/bunii-41_cupdwd\/buniis-heartfelt-altrock-is-wise-beyond-his-years.jpg 400w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_600,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/bunii-41_cupdwd\/buniis-heartfelt-altrock-is-wise-beyond-his-years.jpg 600w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_750,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/bunii-41_cupdwd\/buniis-heartfelt-altrock-is-wise-beyond-his-years.jpg 750w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_840,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/bunii-41_cupdwd\/buniis-heartfelt-altrock-is-wise-beyond-his-years.jpg 840w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_960,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/bunii-41_cupdwd\/buniis-heartfelt-altrock-is-wise-beyond-his-years.jpg 960w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1260,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/bunii-41_cupdwd\/buniis-heartfelt-altrock-is-wise-beyond-his-years.jpg 1260w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1800,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/bunii-41_cupdwd\/buniis-heartfelt-altrock-is-wise-beyond-his-years.jpg 1800w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_2400,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/bunii-41_cupdwd\/buniis-heartfelt-altrock-is-wise-beyond-his-years.jpg 2400w,\" sizes=\"100vw\" alt=\"bunii\u2019s heartfelt alt-rock is wise beyond his years\"><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"img_caption\"><\/p>\n<p>  <span class=\"credit\"><\/p>\n<p>      Sophia Liv Maguire \/ The FADER<\/p>\n<p>  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"author\">\n    <span><br \/>\n      By <span class=\"credit_name\">Vivian Medithi<\/span><br \/>\n  <\/span><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
