Manila, Philippines (Sept. 15, 2025) – Fresh from the sold-out success of their 25th-anniversary concert, the Manila Philharmonic Orchestra (MPO) returns to the Samsung Performing Arts Theater with MPO ROCKS! on Nov. 29 — a one-night-only symphonic rock experience blending music, meaning, and impact.
This first-of-its-kind concert features the internationally acclaimed Philippine Madrigal Singers, powerhouse diva Bituin Escalante, and Queen cover band frontman MiG Ayesa. Together with the full force of the MPO, they’ll deliver unforgettable orchestral renditions of rock anthems — from Queen, Coldplay, and My Chemical Romance to iconic OPM hits by Eraserheads.
Leading the charge is MPO founder Maestro Rodel Colmenar, who has long dreamed of fusing rock and orchestra.
“During my time with the orchestra, I often wondered how rock music would sound when combined with orchestral arrangements,” says Colmenar. “I want the audience to experience a different side of the symphony orchestra and see what makes the MPO stand out from other groups.”
But MPO ROCKS! is more than just a concert — it’s a concert for a cause. Part of the proceeds will benefit The PARC Foundation’s PARC Aralan program, helping underprivileged scholars pursue their passion for music and the arts.
“Music transforms lives — that has always been my mission,” Maestro Rodel shares. “When you buy a ticket to MPO ROCKS!, you’re not just coming to a show. You’re helping our PARC Aralan scholars keep learning, keep performing, and keep dreaming bigger. Every note we play is a step toward a brighter future for them.”
So dust off your band tees, bring your friends, and get ready to rock out with the MPO — all while making a difference.
Get ready to fall in love with Slico’s first-ever single! The viral TikToker, known for his captivating song covers and engaging singing content, has officially dropped his highly anticipated debut song “Bagkos” — a perfect showcase of his talent.
Slico’s light, clear vocals bring genuine emotion to lyrics about love. Take the line, “Init ng mga haplos mo’y nagpahiwatig na tayong dalawa ay nakabagkos, tayo’y nagkabagkos,” which highlights his ability to express deep feelings with simplicity.
The term “nagkabagkos” is a creative twist by the songwriter. Though it’s not a formal word, it feels familiar, echoing “nagkabigkis” (bound together) while also hinting at “bagkos” (but, rather). This blend captures both closeness and contradiction — the sweetness of being tied to someone and the bittersweet ache of knowing it may only exist in memory.
In Slico’s own words, “‘Bagkos’ is a love song about wanting someone you truly admire but realizing things didn’t turn out as hoped. You’re left admiring them from afar, holding on to the thought of what it would feel like to be close, to hold them, and to call them yours. The word ‘nakabagkos’ (tied) shows how you remain bound to that feeling.”
What’s next for Slico? Fans can look forward to a music video for “Bagkos” coming soon. Meanwhile, the single is available for streaming on all major platforms — don’t miss out, give it a listen now!
Filipino hip-hop sensation Shanti Dope delivers his most personal and courageous work yet with his new single “Rehab,” a track that chronicles his battle with addiction, the road to recovery, and the power of love as a driving force for change.
The song is an unfiltered confession, a mirror of Shanti Dope’s own battles with substance abuse, peer pressure, and his experience on the dark side of fame. What began as experimentation with an illegal substance led to a troubled path, forcing him to confront his demons and seek rehabilitation for the sake of those he loves most—his partner, his son, and his family. In a heartfelt verse, Shanti raps: Sabik na kong gawin yung halikan ka pagkagaling ng rehab. Hindi sapat sa akin na ika’y yakapin lang. Yung tamang panahon ay darating din basta kapit lang.
“Rehab” boldly challenges the shame often associated with recovering from substance abuse–Shanti presents rehabilitation as an act of strength—proof that fighting for a better life requires strength and courage. The song is for anyone who struggles with addiction and their inner demons. His reminder that you are not alone, that asking for help is not a weakness, and that change is possible. If you keep holding on, the right moment will come. As Shanti said in the song, Yung tamang panahon ay darating basta kapit lang.
Known for his lyrical depth and unflinching honesty, Shanti Dope uses his music to reflect real-life struggles. With “Rehab,” he strips away any pretense, offering listeners a raw and an unfiltered look at his lowest moments, and his journey back to light.
Filipino singer-songwriter and producer Jeremy G made a significant mark with his 2025 EP ODDicted, a six-track project that topped the iTunes Philippines albums chart. Released on August 8, 2025, under Star Music PH, the EP showcases Jeremy G’s evolution as an artist, blending R&B, pop, and early 2000s influences while exploring themes of love, self-discovery, and vulnerability. The term “ODDicted” encapsulates the EP’s concept of unique, personal addictions to love—both romantic and self-directed.
The Kapamilya artist shared that the coined word ‘oddicted’ summed up the theme of the extended play (EP). He said, “I felt like it fit very well because everyone has their different addictions when it comes to love. It was a great thing to encapsulate the whole theme about loving someone and loving yourself.”
He co-wrote and produced the six-track EP with pop duo Darren Cashwell. “ODDicted” takes influences from the Y2K era as it delves into the highs of romance with the songs “hopeless romantic,” “addicted 2 u,” “Parking Lot” with Darren Cashwell and Chie Filomeno, “so good,” “why me?” and “Parking Lot – Hotter Version.”
The key track “addicted 2 u” brings a flirty vibe of being down bad for someone.
The Kapamilya artist also spoke about how working with different artists helped him find the inspiration again to write music for himself.
“After I released my album ‘Late Night Madness,’ I lost inspiration in trying to write for myself. I would try to write but nothing came out and it wasn’t good enough. But when I was writing for other artists, it helped me develop that inspiration even more. Those collaborations especially when I’m helping artists start their music career, it helped in shaping this EP,” Jeremy shared.
Jeremy released his first album “Late Night Madness” last year, which features “Moonlight Kisses” with Regine Velasquez-Alcasid and “BINI” with BINI Aiah.
Aside from his music, he is currently a mainstay of the Sunday noontime variety show “iWant ASAP.”
The EP’s reception has been strong, with listeners praising its fresh sonic style and Jeremy’s hands-on approach to songwriting and production. His collaboration with artists like Chie Filomeno and Darren Cashwell, alongside his experience writing for OPM acts like BGYO and AC Bonifacio, enriched the project’s depth. ODDicted reflects Jeremy’s growth as a producer and his commitment to authenticity, making it a standout in his discography.

August 11th, 2025 – Rising genre-bending artist rouri404 just released his new single, “miss it” on Red Bull Records. The song marks his first release in over a year, showcasing his evolution both sonically and lyrically. Fans can listen to the song here.
The track is an upbeat and EDM-centric, but also layered in classic rouri404 fashion – rife with raw vocals and a glitchy, synth-heavy production. rouri404’s last project saw him lean more heavily into the darker side of hyperpop, but with “miss it” he’s revealed another facet of his artistry. Refusing to be put in a box, the single draws from trap, dubstep, hyperpop, and pop-punk stylings – all seamlessly brought together by its introspective lyrics.
rouri404 – “miss it”
On returning with new music, rouri404 reflects: “I’ve always made music from a place of pain, it felt safer to lean into sadness than to risk showing any other side of myself. I’ve always been afraid that if people saw me for me, they’d think I was weird or cringey. “miss it” is different, it’s me throwing those fears out the window”.
Relocating to LA from Orlando this year has had a clear impact on rouri404, as he continues: “After moving across the country, I had a lot of time to reflect, not just on music but on who I am and who I want to become. I grew up surrounded by a lot of negativity, and for years that shaped the way I expressed myself. I had become content with it, and realized that’s not who I want to be. I want to be able to create from a place that reflects better moments in life. I’ve been so focused on the past that I’ve let the good memories slip by without realizing it. I don’t want to miss anymore”.
Last night, rouri404 debuted “miss it” for the first time live in LA and the room was full of palpable energy as he delivered an electric performance to his growing community. Keep an eye out for more from rouri404 in 2025!
About rouri404 Art and the internet are society’s last true equalizers, a refuge for the disadvantaged and dispossessed to take on an alias or avatar, rise above their circumstances and become whoever they want. Indeed, for most of his life, Orlando native Joseph (Joey) Cash thrived in the grids and waveforms of Logic and SoundCloud when more traditional structures failed him – a high school dropout at 16, Joey’s future was clouded by substances and self-doubt. By the beginning of 2021, Joey realized that he could not half-step his way towards transcendence.
Expanding beyond his early incarnation as a hyperpop artist, Joey took on the name rouri404 and finally became himself. Following 2022’s striking ‘GORE’ EP, rouri404 leans even harder into guitar-driven rock and emo, a showcase for his emerging talents as a lyricist, arranger and executive producer.
He’s coherent and concise, inspired by the duality that comes with creating art in online spaces – how does one reconcile the unlimited capacity for self-expression with the unlimited capacity for self-invention? rouri404 sees artists like the prolific Bones and the perfectionist Daft Punk as his two guardian angels; “I’ve found myself struggling between being mysterious with perfect visuals and perfect aesthetics and the other side of, I want to get as much out as fast as possible”. Yet, as rouri404’s skills and stature escalate, the creative process remains true to his origins as a lost soul with a lifeline to his audience, representing for people like himself – the misunderstood teens, the budding lyricists stuck behind the cash register of a dead-end job, the overwhelmed music nerds searching for something permanent in a time where everything feels disposable.
After basking in global success with their cover of “Daleng Dale,” rising P-Pop group GAT continues to shine in the entertainment industry with two milestones—a debut single and an upcoming fragrance line. Comprised of talented singer-actors Ethan David, Charles Law, Michael Keith, Derick Ong, and Hans Paronda, GAT made names for themselves in the P-Pop world with their renditions of popular songs such as “Huwag Ka Nang Humirit” by James Reid, “Marikit” by Juan Caoile & Kyleswish, and “Rainbow” by South Border.
But, it was their cover of “Daleng Dale” that made them a hit among fans, especially when it became an original soundtrack to the hit Viva One series Ang Mutya ng Section E, which stars Andres Muhlach, Ashtine Olviga, and Rabin Angeles. Also, four members of the group, namely Ethan, Charles, Michael, and Derick, are all supporting cast members of the show.
With a rendition that spanned viral TikTok dance crazes and millions of streams on Spotify, GAT became poised to become big names in the local music industry. And they continued that momentum last August when they released their debut single “Kakaiba.”
Written by GAT themselves, “Kakaiba” sings about an extraordinary kind of attraction towards someone, capturing the ecstasy of an undeniably intense infatuation. Along with GAT, the song is produced by The Kennel, an international music publishing, production and management company based in Sweden, and singer-songwriter and composer Kylu Garcia.
With a song that embodies a remarkable kind of attraction, GAT marks another milestone with something that reinforces attraction—a signature perfume line under Viva Beauty called GAT Eau De Parfum, a celebration of their journey towards grit, growth, and greatness.
GAT Eau De Parfum’s signature scent was handpicked by the P-Pop group themselves, having a vibrant fusion of spice, woods, and warmth. It mirrors their powerful presence onstage with spicy and earthy notes of cardamom, akigalawood, and turmeric, evokes the depth, emotion, and strength of their performances with rich and grounding notes of frankincense, oak, cedar, white sandalwood, and iris, and leave a lasting impression among fans with a comforting note of vanilla and golden amber.
With a whiff of GAT Eau De Parfum, GAT allows their fans, collectively known as TAGs (Together Always, GAT) to let them feel closer to them, allowing them to carry their energy and personality wherever they go.
“Kakaiba” is now available for streaming on all major music streaming platforms. Meanwhile, GAT’s perfume line will be available very soon. For inquiries and direct orders, you can call or message Viva Beauty at 09178017910.
Award-winning artist and rap phenom Gloc-9 has just dropped his latest single, “BLGBGN,” featuring fellow rapper Abaddon. This new track continues Gloc-9’s impressive streak of monthly releases throughout the year, as he continues to share new music every month.
“BLGBGN” is an empowering song that encourages listeners to embrace life to the fullest. The track delivers the message that life is a journey filled with mistakes, challenges, and fears, but it’s essential to take chances and make the most of every moment. As the artists express, “Huwag kang matakot na magmahal at masaktan, isang beses lang ang buhay, wala nang balikan,” reminding us that we only live once and there are no do-overs.
In collaboration with Abaddon, Gloc-9 emphasizes the importance of perseverance and the pursuit of dreams. The lyrics inspire listeners to not take life too seriously, to reach for the clouds, and to navigate through the seas of life even without a predetermined destination. “Abutin mo and ulap, languyin mo and dagat, bumiyahe ng walang patutunguhan, simulan mong lumakad, balagbagin mo ang ‘yong istorya,” they declare, encouraging everyone to keep moving forward and to craft their own unique stories.
August 8th, 2025 – Ed Sheeran releases his brand-new single, “A Little More”, alongside a music video where Ed brings back Rupert Grint for an all-new instalment. Fans can listen to the song here and watch the music video here.
Witty and sharp in its lyricism, and underpinned with blues elements through its sound, “A Little More” carries with it a message of self-preservation and moral courage. Sheeran wrote the song alongside DAVE (who previously worked with Sheeran on “Nothing On You”, “F64”), Blake Slatkin (Charli XCX, Kid Laroi), Cirkut (The Weeknd, Lil Nas X) and Johnny McDaid (Sheeran’s longtime collaborator) – production comes from Blake Slatkin, and Cirkut.
In the lead-up to the release, fans of both Sheeran and Grint have been piecing together a trail of cryptic social media clues — including posts from Ed’s official accounts that appeared to be taken over by Rupert himself. Longtime listeners may remember Grint’s role in the 2011 “Lego House” video, and now he returns for a surprise cameo in the visual for “A Little More”.
Directed by Emil Nava (Post Malone, Dua Lipa), the comedic music video picks up where “Lego House” left off. Rupert Grint reprises his role as an obsessive Sheeran fan, now released from prison and attempting to live a normal life. Yet, Ed seems to appear everywhere he turns, leaving him increasingly unsettled. Just as things start to look up including meeting his future wife, played by Nathalie Emmanuel, the wedding day brings an unexpected twist. As Grint’s character stands at the altar and scans the crowd, he’s shocked to see a sea of wedding guests appear as Ed Sheeran… only to discover an even greater surprise when he lifts his bride’s veil.
Ed Sheeran – “A Little More” (Official Music Video)
Today’s track is the follow-up to Sheeran’s single “Sapphire”, which he worked on with Arijit Singh. The pair released a special version of the track last month, with Ed singing a chorus in Hindi and Punjabi, and Arijit singing a verse in Hindi and Punjabi and a chorus in English. The result was a blissful cross-cultural fusion of languages and cultures, adorning the song’s celebration of love.
With these standout tracks leading the way, stay tuned for Ed Sheeran’s new album, ‘Play’, releasing on September 12!

About Ed Sheeran Ed Sheeran is set to release his new album ‘Play’ on 12th September 2025. After closing the chapter on his Mathematics series, Ed Sheeran is finally back and stepping boldly into a fresh new phase for 2025. An artist known for constantly evolving, Sheeran’s latest album, ‘Play‘ finds him exploring new musical ground through collaboration with producers and musicians from around the world, as well as diving deeper into the timeless sounds and themes that have made him one of the world’s best-loved pop artists. Inspired in part by his exposure to Indian and Persian musical cultures—and their surprising connections to the Irish folk tradition he grew up with, through shared scales, rhythms, and melodies—he explored this borderless musical language, giving the album its distinctive, fresh edge. On more familiar ground, Sheeran also reminds us why he remains the most influential singer-songwriter of his generation, delivering a series of stunning ballads and acoustic-driven songs. The result is a collection that plays with both the familiar and the new, creating a bold, pop-driven sound that only Ed Sheeran could deliver — a vibrant showcase of his artistry that feels both exciting and transformative, and promises to be one of the defining albums of the year. Ed Sheeran is no stranger to Southeast Asia, having included Malaysia, Taiwan, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, and the Philippines as stops on his 2024 ‘+ – = ÷ x (Mathematics) Tour’. He continues to see strong streaming numbers with the 🇵🇭 Philippines at #3 and 🇮🇩 Indonesia at #7 among his top 10 global streaming markets.

The Philippines’ hottest girl group BINI unleashes their fierce and charismatic side in the newly dropped music video for their latest single “Shagidi,” now streaming on their official YouTube channel.
The colorful and eye-catching video, which was conceptualized by YouMeUs MNL, shows the members Aiah, Colet, Maloi, Gwen, Stacey, Mikha, Jhoanna, and Sheena unleash their hip dance moves as they mimic the Filipino game “Shagidi Shagidi Shapopo” in a skate park. “We want to find ways to reflect who we are and where we come from.
