As no na declare it, this is girl boss energy rooted in community, and craft. New year, new mode, no excuses. Each member of no na – Christy, Esther, Baila, and Shaz – brings a distinct presence to the record, highlighting the group’s chemistry and bond. The music video, directed by Fa & Fon, acts as a full performance breakdown that highlights their physicality and dance mastery. This era is about strength and collective drive, reminding audiences why no na are a force to be reckoned with.

The song’s music video has gone on to accumulate a tremendous 4.4 million views, demonstrating the enormous reach the group has garnered in such a short amount of time. no na is set to take that energy into 2026, starting off the year with new music and a highly anticipated performance at the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang M7 World Championship Finals on January 25th in Jakarta, Indonesia.

    Another fan-favorite is back, Wuxian, with heartwarming moments with Hei that bring charm and fun. However, a new conflict arises…will he be able to clear his name?

    With the introduction of a new character, Lù Yě, a former apprentice of Wuxian, teams up with Hei to shed light on the mystery behind the attack on the Guild and clear Wuxian’s name after he is framed for the incident.

    When Wuxian is placed under house arrest during the investigation, Lù Yě, a reliable and calculated Executor of the Spirit Guild, takes care of Hei and becomes a mentor figure to him. During their mission, it is revealed that she lost her family and became a war orphan, which led her to resent humans. Will she begin to heal from her deep-rooted trauma?

    Mitski announces her eighth studio album, Nothing’s About to Happen to Me— out February 27th via Dead Oceans — and releases its lead single/video, “Where’s My Phone?” Supported by a live band and orchestra, Nothing’s About to Happen to Me finds Mitski immersing herself in a rich narrative whose main character is a reclusive woman in an unkempt house. Outside of her home, she is a deviant; inside of her home, she is free.

    Today’s fuzzed-out rock song, “Where’s My Phone?,” hints at the range of sounds and energy across the album: “Where did it go // Where’s my phone // Where’s my phone // Where did I leave // Where’d I go // Where’d I go,” she sings. New Yorker cartoonist Emily Flake depicts her interpretation in the below cartoon.

    “Where’s My Phone?” by Emily Flake

    “Where’s My Phone?” arrives alongside an unhinged, emotionally kaleidoscopic video directed by Noel Paul. Based on Shirley Jackson’s novel, We Have Always Lived in the Castle, and using a playful, primitive style of filmmaking, it presents Mitski playing a paranoid woman who is trying to protect her sister inside a gothic house while battling increasingly absurd, human obstacles. Creating a complex psychological palette, the intruders – whether menacing or friendly – cascade one upon the other building into total pandemonium. 

    Watch the Video for “Where’s My Phone?”

    Mitski wrote all of the songs and performed all of the vocals on Nothing’s About to Happen to Me. Produced and engineered by Patrick Hyland and mastered by Bob Weston, the album continues the musical through line established with 2023’s The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We, and features live instrumentation by The Land touring band and ensemble arrangements. The orchestra was recorded at Sunset Sound and TTG Studios, arranged and conducted by Drew Erickson, engineered by Michael Harris.

    Mitski is “the most alluring and enigmatic musician in indie rock” (Rolling Stone) who “keeps shifting in all these really brilliant and wonderful ways” (NPR Music). Throughout her career, she’s released seven albums, four of which are certified gold. Her song, “My Love Mine All Mine,” was a global sensation, and is four-times platinum. Mitski’s varied collaborations with other artists include two co-writes on the most recent Florence and the Machine album, Everybody Scream, and with David Byrne and Son Lux for the Oscar nominated “This Is A Life. She is currently writing the music and lyrics for the musical adaptation of The Queen’s Gambit.

    “A mesmerizing study in movement” (Variety), Mitski’s live show has also been described as “highly stylized, brilliantly realized, super cool” (Philadelphia Inquirer) and “unusual, enigmatic and utterly compelling” (The Guardian). Her first concert film, Mitski: The Land, was played in over 600 cinemas across 30 countries in October 2025, cementing her as “the rare indie star who has earned the big-screen treatment” (Uproxx). It was released in conjunction with The Land: The Live Album.

    HIGHLY ANTICIPATED ALBUM ‘LUCK… OR SOMETHING’ ARRIVES ON FEBRUARY 20!

    “”Mature” proved a perfect point of re-entry, pushing Duff’s sound in new directions while still feeling quintessentially Hilary” – VOGUE

    Multiplatinum global superstar Hilary Duff has just released “Roommates”, the second single from her highly anticipated new album, ‘luck… or something’, arriving everywhere via Atlantic Records on Friday, February 20. Fans can listen to the single here and pre-save the album here

    “Roommates” is co-written by Duff with her husband, GRAMMY® Award-winning songwriter/producer Matthew Koma (Britney Spears, P!nk), and Brian Phillips (Alec Benjamin, blink-182) and co-produced by Koma and Phillips. 

    Roommates is a song about when life is life-ing, babe,” says Hilary. “It’s that ache for a wilder, freer time – before the days were swallowed by carpools, budget talks, grocery runs and letting old or new insecurities slip in. It’s the restless hum of wanting to find your way back – to your rhythm, to your person, to yourself“.

    Following the track’s release, an official music video directed by Matty Peacock (Billie Eilish, Ariana Grande) brings the song to life.

    Hilary Duff – “Roommates” (Official Video)

    Duff’s sixth studio album, ‘luck… or something’, also features the acclaimed lead single “Mature”, available everywhere now. Hailed by VOGUE for “pushing Duff’s sound in new directions while still feeling quintessentially Hilary”, the sardonic, shimmering track quickly amassed over 5 million global streams in its first week. Inspired by romantic misadventures from her formative years, “Mature” unfolds as a piece of autofiction set against bright pop production and layered with Duff’s signature wit and vulnerability. The song is accompanied by an evocative music video directed by Lauren Dunn (Olivia Rodrigo, Dove Cameron, Saweetie), which has garnered over 3.3 million views and counting on YouTube, alongside an exclusive behind-the-scenes mini-documentary from the shoot.

    Building on this momentum, Hilary will celebrate the release of ‘luck… or something’ next week with her “Small Rooms, Big Nerves” dates—an instantly sold-out run of intimate live shows across the UK and US. The performances mark her first headline concert appearances in over a decade, making them a major milestone in this exciting new chapter of her career.

  • Wolf Gemora Arrives to begin Preparations for the Wolfgang Reunion Concert this February 7

    Wolf Gemora Arrives to begin Preparations for the Wolfgang Reunion Concert this February 7

    Wolf Gemora, the award winning drummer of Wolfgang is arriving this Friday, January 9 from the United States to begin rehearsals for the highly-anticipated Wolfgang Reunion Concert on February 7 at the New Frontier Theater.

    The concert is part of the band’s 30th Anniversary celebrations.

    Gemora migrated to the United States following the release and initial promotions of Wolfgang’s fifth studio album, Black Mantra in 2002, and the reunion concert will mark his first performance with the band in 23 years.

    “I’m going back to Manila,” enthused Gemora on the eve of his flight homeward. “It’s going to be four weeks of intense rehearsals for the reunion show. In the meantime, I’m going to watch my favorite local bands and eat my favorite local food.

    His other bandmates likewise could not contain their enthusiasm.

    “I have been and always will be proud of what Wolfgang has achieved through the years.  Wolf was a part of the band’s genesis so there is a lot of history there,” shared guitarist Manuel Legarda. We are going to be revisiting key portions of that history and I am thoroughly excited to be sharing that stage with Wolf after all these years.  If Mon (Legaspi, who passed away in 2022) were still around, I am sure he would feel the same way.  I’m also excited for the fans who have been wanting this reunion as well.

    Added vocalist Basti Artadi, “I’m excited to play and sing along with the fans and hopefully take them back to a time when music was the most important thing in their lives. Like a metal Oasis!”

    Gemora was part of the band’s most productive era from 1995-2001 where they released their self-titled debut album followed by Semenelin, Wurm, Serve in Silence, the live album Acoustica, and then, Black Mantra. Aside from being best-sellers, they were critically-acclaimed and nominated for music awards.

    The band continued with Francis Aquino behind the drum kit and released one more album in Villains (2008) and the mini-album Ang Bagong Dugo Sa Lumang Ugat – Unang Kabanata (2012).

    “We hope to see you at the Wolfgang Reunion Concert this February 7,” concluded Gemora in his final words before boarding his flight from Los Angeles for Manila.

    When tickets to the Wolfgang Reunion Concert presented by Ovation Productions with Blast TV as the official media partner were made available last December 8 via ticketnet.com.ph, all these seated sections quickly sold out. As of today, there are still tickets available for the VIP (standing) area closest to the stage with tickets priced AT PHP 5700.

  • An anthem on resilience and strength | MAYMAY TURNS PAIN INTO POWER IN NEW SINGLE “MASUNOG MAN” 

    An anthem on resilience and strength | MAYMAY TURNS PAIN INTO POWER IN NEW SINGLE “MASUNOG MAN” 

    Maymay Entrata channels her journey from pain to empowerment in her cathartic and powerful new song titled “Masunog Man.” 

    The Kapamilya actress-singer shared that the anthem—centered on resilience, strength, and liberation—was inspired by her experience of pain and healing during her mother’s illness and eventual passing.

    “Itong ‘Masunog Man’ ay nagrereflect siya sa kung paano ako magmahal. Two years ago, hindi po ako nag-share kung ano yung pinagdaanan ko. Na-diagnose ang nanay ko ng malubhang sakit at pinili ko na hindi ko siya ibahagi sa publiko,” the “Roja” star told the audience present at the “Masunog Man” launch last Wednesday.  

    “Hindi po maiwasan yung panahon na nasaktan ako pero dahil sa strength na ibinibigay ng Panginoon sa akin pinili kong lumaban. Even po I’m still hurting at yung hurt na yun nagsi-symbolize siya ng parang burn,  parang nasusunog ako inside dahil sa sobrang sakit na nararamdaman ko nung panahon na yun, pero masaya naman ako after po nun dahil naintindihan naman ng karamihan yung pinagdaanan ko,” Maymay explained. 

    She also shared that she wants to dedicate “Masunog Man” to those who are going through a similar ordeal. 

    “Gusto ko ipamahagi itong kanta dun sa mga lumalaban nang tahimik na sana po hindi nyo pagsisihan lahat ng sakripisyong binigay nyo dahil nagmamahal lang naman kayo, nagmamahal lang naman tayo ng walang hinihiling na kapalit,” she said.  

    “Masunog Man” is her latest single under ABS-CBN’s StarPop label. Her growing discography includes “Amakabogera,” “Paradise,” “Tsada Mahigugma,” and more. 

    Maymay’s “Masunog Man” single is out now on music streaming platforms. For more details, follow StarPop on Facebook, X (Twitter), Instagram, and TikTok.
