The budding singer-songwriter releases a song that feels like a warm embrace in difficult times.

Filipino singer-songwriter Gab Cabangon steps into the spotlight with the release of “Pieces,” his first official single as a solo artist.

The acoustic indie pop track delivers an inspiring message for anyone going through the process of grief, uncertainty, and depression. Cabangon describes it as his “It’s Okay Not to Be Okay” song: an invitation for listeners to embrace vulnerability while holding on to the hope of healing and brighter days ahead.

“I want this song to be the soundtrack for people to allow themselves to go through the process of sadness and grief without feeling judged and without feeling alone,” Cabangon shares. “Part of the journey to fixing what may be broken is acknowledging the sadness and frustration that some things aren’t okay, but also knowing there will always be someone or something to help you stand up again.”

Originally penned as an anniversary gift to his then-girlfriend (now wife) during the pandemic, “Pieces” quickly evolved beyond a personal dedication. When Cabangon began performing it during livestreams and gigs, the song resonated deeply with audiences, often moving listeners to tears. The experience affirmed his decision to bring the song into the studio and share it with a wider audience.

“It also helps that I’m in a place right now where I could really invest in my music and do it at a certain level that I can be proud of,” Gab adds. “I also found friends and people who I wanted to collaborate with to bring my song to life both from a music standpoint and a visual standpoint. They helped me achieve the vision for the song, and they helped me be a better artist and collaborator during the process.”

The song is produced in collaboration with long-time friend and music director David Lina, who brought warmth and tender instrumental work to the arrangements, and mixed and mastered by Shadiel “Shad” Chan and Jan Fuertez, whose sonic touches complemented the poignant feel of the material. With lush acoustic textures and poignant storytelling, the song also reflects Cabangon’s vision of creating music that could easily belong to a film soundtrack.

“Pieces” marks a turning point in Cabangon’s career. After years of performing live (both solo and as the frontman of K.E.) and advocating for OPM, he admits that a shift in mindset allowed him to finally pursue recording as a solo artist.

Cabangon explains, “For the longest time, I was very hesitant to release new music as a solo artist. At first, I thought I would be content just being a gigging artist. But the hunger and desire to record and release new music never left me. So late last year, I made the conscious decision that I wanted to finally release music as ‘Gab Cabangon’.”

With “Pieces,” the budding artist offers a soundtrack to listeners’ life stories, exploring themes of love, healing, and resilience in a remarkably relatable way. As stated in his press statement, “Pieces” serves as an introduction to the themes that he will be writing as a recording artist.

“Not to give away too much, but I’d like to think that it’s the opening song to a letter that I’m writing for the people who are trying to learn to love again,” he adds. ‘People are definitely going to expect more music from me moving forward, and they’ll just have to keep on following my music journey to find out more.”

Gab Cabangon’s “Pieces” is out now on all digital music platforms worldwide.

He describes his music as a “nonchalant millennial sadboi” style of indie pop music that blends chill guitar melodies with soulful singing. As an introspective artist, Gab loves writing songs and stories about going through different phases of life and heartaches that are both romantic and non-romantic.

Today, Gab Cabangon debuts as a solo recording artist and continues to showcase his talents and share his songs and stories while championing Filipino music in every stage and space he performs.

With a string of exciting promotional activities and fan engagements, Lola Amour has been making waves both online and on the ground. To celebrate the release of their sophomore album Love on Loop, the band lit up a billboard in New York’s iconic Times Square, a moment that highlighted just how far their music has reached.

On August 15, the band marked their album release day with a special Spotify Listening Party, becoming only the second OPM act to host the feature after SB19. Fans tuned in to listen to the record in full while the band shared stories and insights behind the tracks. To make the experience even more special, Lola Amour gave away tickets to their highly anticipated concert happening on September 12.

Additionally, Lola Amour has been surprising students across Metro Manila with a series of pop up busking shows. They have performed in front of crowds of 300 to 500 students per stop, starting at NU Nazareth on August 1, followed by PLM on August 7, UP Diliman on August 11, and PSHS on August 15. The series of surprise shows will continue until the end of the month, bringing their music directly to the youth that has championed them since the very beginning.

The band has also launched Relapse Freedom Walls across key student areas, including Esteban Abada in Quezon City, Lerma Street in Manila, and Dagonoy Street in Malate, Manila. These interactive walls invite fans to express their thoughts and emotions, drawing in hundreds of participants who connect with the themes of the focus track for Love on Loop “With You.” Many wrote down stories and confessions such as “Bakit ka pa kumapit kung bibitawan ka lang?”, “Minumulto pa ako nung una ko siyang nakilala,” and “Ang pagmamahal ko sayo ay di mawawala”, real and raw sentiments that reflect the song’s emotions.

All these activities are building up to Lola Amour’s biggest headline show yet, Love on Loop The Album  Concert happening on September 12 at One Ayala. Tickets are available via https://lolaamour.helixpay.ph/

In a plot twist worthy of a teleserye cliffhanger, Cup of Joe’s runaway hit “Multo” is creeping closer and closer to OPM immortality. The beloved five-piece band is on the brink of making OPM history, as “Multo” breaks the record for the longest-running #1 song on the Spotify Philippines Daily Chart – a title currently held by Zack Tabudlo’s “Pano.” It’s a moment that not only celebrates Cup of Joe’s meteoric rise but also marks an exciting new chapter for OPM.

Since its release, “Multo” has become a full-blown streaming phenomenon, racking up over 1.18 million streams a day and holding the highest spot for a jaw-dropping 210 days and the #1 spot for 125 days (and counting!). At one point, it even shattered records for the highest single-day streams in Spotify PH history, clocking in at a spooky-good 2.3 million plays in just 24 hours. If that’s not hauntingly impressive, we don’t know what is.

But “Multo” didn’t stop at just local domination. The song also made global waves, becoming the first Filipino act to enter the Billboard Global 200, eventually peaking at #80, a ghostly milestone that proves OPM is no longer just a local love affair. Back home, the track ruled the Billboard Philippines Hot 100 for 10 straight weeks, the longest run in the chart’s history. No need for a séance, Cup of Joe’s star power is very much alive.

Their unique fusion of soul, synth, and aching sincerity strikes a deep chord with a generation all too familiar with heartbreak. “Multo” floats between worlds, just like its title – existing both in your Spotify loop and in the hearts of Joewahs everywhere.

With the record well within reach, Cup of Joe is far from finished. The band is fired up and ready to make waves once again with their upcoming 3-day SOLD OUT Concert titled ‘Stardust’ at the Smart Araneta Coliseum where fans (aka the ever-dedicated Joewahs) are expected to show up, sing loud, and cry harder. Because if “Multo” has taught us anything, it’s that OPM is alive, thriving, and ready to haunt not just our hearts, but also the global stage.

A song spanning many years to complete, finally makes its moment.

Following the renewed success of his solo catalog—particularly “Your Universe,” which recently broke into Spotify Philippines’ Top 10—Rico Blanco returns with “Paalam,” a hauntingly spare but exquisitely crafted ballad that captures the enduring imprint of goodbyes in all its bittersweet and hopeful glory.

Equal parts love song and meditation on loss, “Paalam” contemplates the emotional weight of parting, whether from a person, a chapter, a place, or a former self. In Blanco’s hands, goodbye becomes not only an act of release and reawakening, but also a gift that offers clarity, grounding, and ultimately, healing.

“Out of all the songs I’ve released, Paalam is the song that took me the longest to finish,” the multi-awarded music hyphenate admits. “Some songs I finish in minutes, days, or weeks, but this one has been a work in progress for many, many years.”

Originally inspired by a former bandmate’s departure in the ‘90s, the song evolved over time and took deeper shape following the recent passing of Blanco’s brother. For years, he hesitated to record it for himself and was convinced another voice might better serve its purpose. “All these years, I kept waiting for the right singer to come along,” he reveals.

But with its kundiman arrangements and intricate orchestral builds, the song taps into something powerful and primal, as if unlocking something personal from Rico without completely giving away the story. 

“Production-wise, I always knew how I wanted the song to sound,” shares Rico. “I wanted it to have a timeless arrangement, or some would say a bit traditional.”

Rico Blanco’s “Paalam” is out now on all digital music platforms worldwide via Sony Music Entertainment.

The new record combines elements of neo-soul and pop with drum n’ bass, UKG, and house music.

Filipino indie pop/soul artist Muri and Japanese electronic producer Shigge are slated to release their first joint EP, SETSUNA, on all digital music platforms worldwide this August 8, 2025.

A Japanese word with Buddhist origins that means “instant,” SETSUNA symbolizes the beauty of moments: they’re fleeting yet powerful.

“Our EP, SETSUNA, hopes to capture moments that can seem insignificant yet hold a lot of importance,” Muri explains. “Where insight or enlightenment arrives when we least expect it or look for it.”

The cross-cultural collaboration brings the best of both worlds from Muri and Shigge, combining a mix of genres like neo-soul, house, and UKG with dance-infused rhythms and drum n’ bass. Muri admits listening to a lot of synth-driven dance/house music to get into the groove of the sound: from Kaytranada to Cody Curry and PinkPantheress.

Muri reveals, “This was our first time creating a joint EP together. When we wrote our first song it was initially unsettling, as we navigated our shared style and ventured beyond our comfort zones. But looking back at it, the experience was one that was very exciting because you have no idea how it will turn out, and at the end you both really enjoy what you create. Aside from our single GOLDEN HOUR, which we wrote together in person, the creative process was quite smooth. We wrote the rest of the EP remotely from Manila, Tokyo, and London, sending demos back and forth and iterating on each other’s ideas.”

Earlier this month, Muri and Shigge embarked on a tour in Tokyo to perform some of the songs from SETSUNA. The electronic-soul pairing is set to conclude their collab tour in Manila on August 1, 2025, at Sari-Sari Bar for The Rest Is Noise PH’s 43rd show, and on August 2, 2025 at Electric Sala for Locked Down Night.

After four years of capturing hearts and dominating digital charts, Arthur Nery finally unveils the official music video for his breakout hit “Isa Lang.” This is a moment long awaited by fans and music lovers alike. The visual premiere marks a significant milestone in the life of a song that has become a modern classic in OPM’s new era.

Originally released in 2021, Isa Lang quickly became Arthur Nery’s signature anthem. It is a soulful, genre-blurring track that catapulted him into mainstream consciousness. Over the years, the track has steadily gained momentum across all major digital platforms. As of today, it has surpassed a staggering 353 million streams on Spotify alone, cementing its place as one of the most streamed Filipino songs of all time. It consistently charted on Spotify’s Viral 50, Top Hits Philippines, and has been featured on prominent editorial playlists including OPM Rising, Tatak Pinoy, and Hot Hits Philippines. Its timeless appeal has kept it in steady rotation, garnering a loyal following across generations.

The newly-released music video breathes fresh life into the beloved track with the inclusion of Kaila Estrada, one of the country’s fastest-rising actresses. Known for her compelling on-screen presence, Estrada adds rich emotional nuance to the visual storytelling, portraying the vulnerability, yearning, and subtle sorrow that lie at the core of Isa Lang. The cinematic visuals offer a poignant exploration anda a faithful extension of the song’s emotional core that fans will surely resonate with.

The release of the music video comes at a time when OPM is flourishing globally, and Arthur Nery continues to be at the forefront of this renaissance. With multiple hit songs under his belt and a steadily growing fanbase, Isa Lang remains a benchmark for a generation of listeners looking for something honest and resonant.

With this long-overdue visual counterpart finally out in the world, Isa Lang takes on a new form — one that doesn’t just speak to the ears, but now, to the eyes and soul.

Pinoy pop group GAT (Gawang Atin ‘To) is set to release their upcoming debut single, following a series of teasers uploaded on their social media channels.

In a post published by GAT’s official page, the first teaser features a visual of a starry night sky and an audio snippet with the lyrics, “Kakaiba ang tama ko sa’yo,” hinting that the song could be about an intense kind of attraction or feeling toward someone.

Meanwhile, in the second teaser, GAT revealed that their debut single is set to be released on August 1, 2025.

The group consists of GAT Ethan, GAT Derick, GAT Michael, GAT Hans, and GAT Charles. They first went viral for their rendition of “Daleng Dale,” originally popularized by MMJ. The track served as the official soundtrack and opening song of  the phenomenal Viva One series Ang Mutya ng Section E, helping their pre-debut single reach a wider audience globally.

Notably, four members of the group also appear as actors in the series and additionally, GAT member Ethan David also stars in another Viva One series Seducing Drake Palma. Because of their involvement in both shows, GAT is set to take part in the upcoming VIVA ONE VIVARKADA: The Ultimate Fancon and Grand Concert, happening on August 15, 2025.

Due to the popularity of Ang Mutya ng Section E and their rendition of “Daleng Dale”, international celebrities and netizens also joined the dance craze. Since then, GAT has etched a mark in the P-pop scene, with fans eagerly anticipating their debut single. In the comment section, fans also expressed their excitement and flooded GAT with messages of support.

While waiting for GAT’s debut single, listeners can check out their music on Spotify and stream their pre-debut tracks like “Huwag Ka Nang Humirit” (originally performed by James Reid), “Marikit” (originally performed by Juan Caoile and Kyleswish), and “Rainbow” (originally performed by South Border).

This fresh take on the South Border classic also marks Bautista’s first release under Sony Music Entertainment.

Asia’s Romantic Balladeer, Christian Bautista, has dropped his long-awaited single, “Rainbow,” out today via his new record label, Sony Music Entertainment.

The heartfelt duet, featuring Indonesian singer-songwriter Raisa, reimagines the South Border classic as a soulful pop-R&B ballad blending Christian Bautista’s smooth baritone with Raisa’s velvety vocals in a lush, emotionally charged arrangement that captures the kind of longing and connection that lingers long after the last note.

“‘Rainbow’ is one of those songs that’s always stayed with me,” says Bautista. “It resonates deeply, not just in the Philippines, but also in Indonesia. Working on it with Raisa gave it new energy and meaning, and it felt right to share it in this way now.”

“Simply because I love this song—I grew up with this song—and I didn’t even know at first that it was a Filipino artist who sang it!” shares Raisa. “When I found out, I was surprised. It has such a special meaning—not just about love but about life. It’s a reassurance of rainbow after the rain. It’s something people can relate to and carry with them every day.”

Christian Bautista and Raisa’s rendition of “Rainbow” delivers a heartfelt interpretation of the timeless OPM classic, heralding an exciting new era for both Southeast Asian music icons. The collaboration was made possible thanks to a 13-city ASEAN concert in Japan, where Bautista and Raisa shared the stage as fellow performers.

Bautista recalls, “We got along very well as friends and as performers during that time. It became a natural idea for us to want to collaborate. We talked about the songs we both loved, and ‘Rainbow’ stood out for both of us. That’s when everything started to fall into place. It wasn’t just the melody, it’s message of hope, comfort, and being there for someone through life’s storms really resonated with both of us.”

“Christian is already so big in Indonesia—I grew up listening to him,” Raisa adds. “He’s such a great balladeer and vocalist. We finally got to spend time together on that Japan tour. What I admire most is his musicality and his beautiful personality. When the idea to collaborate came up, of course, I said yes.”

Christian Bautista has long held a strong presence in Southeast Asia, particularly in the Philippines and Indonesia, where his music, performances, and sincere artistry have earned him a devoted following. Known for his romantic ballads and warm stage presence, he became a household name through his hit songs and regional television appearances. This deep connection with audiences in both countries makes his duet with Raisa not only meaningful but a natural and highly anticipated musical moment in the region.

“This has been a long-awaited collaboration for many of our fans across the region,” shares Bautista. “We’ve both heard from listeners in the Philippines and Indonesia who’ve been hoping for this moment, so it feels incredibly special—not just for us, but for everyone who’s supported our music. We’re truly grateful to Sony Music for helping bring it to life.”

“The Philippines is a huge market with so many great singers and amazing music,” Raisa notes. “I’ve never tapped into that market before, and I want to expand my reach. I hope the Filipino audience will welcome me.”

Raisa is a multi-awarded Indonesian singer-songwriter, celebrated for her soulful voice, heartfelt ballads, and elegant artistry that have made her a standout in the region’s music scene. Known for her ability to blend emotional depth with modern pop sensibilities, she has released numerous chart-topping singles and critically acclaimed albums. With millions of loyal listeners across Southeast Asia and collaborations with some of the region’s top talents, Raisa continues to shape the sound of contemporary Indonesian pop and remains one of its most influential and admired voices.

Their musical chemistry is evident in the track, with each of their distinct yet complementary vocals shining both individually and in harmony.

“With a timeless song like this, you really shouldn’t do too much,” Raisa explains. “We kept the arrangement close to the original but adjusted it to fit a male-female duet—some key changes, harmonies, and little details. Every step of the way, we made sure we honored the song. It’s such a huge song from the Philippines—we just wanted to do it justice.”

“We discovered how well our vocal styles complemented each other when we performed together,” Bautista shares. “We both give our all in every performance, but we also know when to step back and let the other shine. That balance was key in making this rendition emotionally captivating and honest.”

Paying homage to the original arrangement while infusing it with a contemporary, cross-cultural resonance was no small feat. With a collaborative team of both Filipino and Indonesian producers and arrangers, each attuned to the musical sensibilities of their cultures, the duet was crafted to resonate widely without losing its emotional core.

“The biggest challenge was time,” Raisa admits. “We recorded together but couldn’t finish at the same time due to our tight schedules, so we had to complete parts separately. That’s hard for a duet—you have to match details like vibrato, phrasing… But in the end, we blended well, and I really think we gave the song something fresh while still paying homage to the original. And honestly, I think Filipino and Indonesian listeners have a lot in common—we both love ballads, romantic themes, 90s R&B, and a touch of nostalgia,” Raisa adds. “There’s a natural connection between our audiences.”

The multi-awarded Filipino pop icon explains, “Staying true to the spirit of the original while making it meaningful for today’s listeners was something we truly cared about,” shares Bautista. “We each brought our reflections into the song, hoping it would resonate in a deeper, more intimate way—wherever in the world it’s heard.”

As for what’s next? The fans have every reason to be excited.

“We’re currently planning joint performances and a music video,” Bautista teases. “This isn’t the end: it’s a continuation of a musical bridge between the Philippines and Indonesia. We hope to open more doors for future collaborations.”

“I certainly hope so,” says Raisa. “This song will truly come to life when performed in person. It’s just another reason for me to visit the Philippines—or for Christian to come back to Indonesia! When you collaborate with a dear friend, it’s always more fun to do things together. It makes the experience that much more soulful.”

“Rainbow” by Christian Bautista featuring Raisa is now available on all major streaming platforms worldwide via Sony Music Entertainment.

Sam Concepcion is one busy guy. His first-ever series with GMA, Beauty Empire, just premiered on Viu last June 16, and will then be seen on GMA starting July 7. He is also returning on stage as Joseph in Joseph the Dreamer at the Carlos P. Romulo Auditorium in RCBC Plaza this July.

As if those were not enough, Sam just dropped a new single under Universal Records last July 4 — and it is a surprise collaboration with Moira Dela Torre. Entitled “Mapasakin Ka,” the duet is a heartfelt love song with soft harmonies and vivid imagery — expressing sincerity, longing, and devotion. At its core, it’s a gentle plea for love to be returned, sung in the most honest way the heart knows how.

Sam and Moira are known for their soulful voice and emotive singing, and there is definitely a lot of that in this unexpected collaboration, especially with lyrics such as: “Pag-ibig mo na ang hanap ng aking kamay, handang-handang marinig ang tanging tunay na nararamdaman mo sa’kin, o, aking sinta.”

This musical partnership may be unexpected for a lot of people, but it makes so much sense. Sam’s soulful voice perfectly fits the message and the melody of a song about yearning, while Moira’s melancholic singing style and soothing voice provide a contrasting yet complementary contribution to “Mapasakin Ka.”

This power duet from Sam and Moira is now available on all major streaming platforms.
You can catch “Mapasakin Ka” in Beauty Empire, and be sure to check out the lyric video on Universal Records’ YouTube channel. Stay tuned for the official music video coming soon!

Born in Bali, refined across continents, their joint single kicks off a new era of sonic experiments and international synergy.

Filipino singer-songwriter Muri and Japanese producer Shigge have officially announced their collaborative new single, “Golden Hour,” via a minimalist teaser posted to Instagram last night, sparking anticipation for their cross-border release.

The soul-infused electronic track was conceived during an intensive songwriting camp at the AXEAN Festival in Bali, Indonesia last year, where Muri and Shigge crossed creative paths. What began as a spontaneous studio session has evolved into months of sonic exchange, with ideas bouncing fluidly between Tokyo, London, and Manila.

“I found Shigge’s music really unique and forward-thinking,” Muri shares in a press statement. “When we got the chance to work with each other at the songwriting camp, I felt we could make a really cool world fusing our styles together. For me, music is all about experimenting and trying something new, and this is a result of that.”

“Golden Hour” marks the first official release from their upcoming joint EP, SETSUNA, slated to drop next month. Described as a boundary-pushing collection of lo-fi house beats, ambient soundscapes, and neo-soul vocals, the EP promises a fresh take on cross-cultural music production.

To celebrate the collaboration, Muri and Shigge will embark on a two-city tour spanning Tokyo and Manila this July and August.

Tour dates:

• July 22 – Tokyo City, Japan
• July 24 – Tokyo City, Japan
• August 1 – Makati City, Philippines
• August 2 – Makati City, Philippines
