From captivating audiences as a member of a P-pop group to winning over listeners through heartfelt cover releases, Ashtine Olviga is stepping into the spotlight as a solo artist with the release of her debut extended play, Love Like Ashtine.
The six-track project marks a defining milestone in Ashtine’s evolving career, offering her most personal musical statement to date. More than an introduction to her artistry as a solo act, Love Like Ashtine reflects the experiences, emotions, and growth that have shaped her journey. It presents a confident yet intimate portrait of an artist embracing her own identity, balancing youthful charm with emotional depth.
Across its six songs, the EP explores a wide-ranging sonic landscape while showcasing the versatility of Ashtine’s vocals. It opens with the breezy pop energy of “Hinga,” eases into the smooth, groove-driven “This Way,” and takes a more mysterious turn with “enno.” The record then shifts toward emotional vulnerability through the heartfelt ballad “Nasaan Ka Na?” and the acoustic warmth of “Dito Lang Tayo,” before concluding with the bright and affectionate pop anthem “Love Like U,” leaving listeners with an uplifting celebration of love and self-expression.
Helping shape the project’s distinct sound is acclaimed songwriter and producer Thyro Alfaro, whose creative direction serves as a driving force behind the EP. Under his production, each track is tailored to highlight Ashtine’s vocal strengths while allowing her personality to shine through, resulting in a cohesive collection that effortlessly moves between infectious pop hooks and emotionally resonant storytelling.
With Love Like Ashtine, Ashtine confidently establishes herself as more than a former group performer—she emerges as a compelling solo artist with a clear artistic identity and a promising future in OPM.
Fans will soon have the opportunity to experience the EP live when she takes the stage for her first major solo concert at the New Frontier Theater on August 22, bringing this new chapter of her musical journey directly to audiences.
