June 18th, 2025 – Manila, Philippines –ONE OR EIGHT have released their latest single, “365”, out now. This marks the first release from the eight-member boy group following their recent announcement of a partnership with major record label Atlantic Music Group. Fans across the world have taken to social media to express their excitement for the group’s growth, calling it a source of national pride that they’ve been recognized by a major international label in less than a year since debut.
The new single “365” features acclaimed songwriter Nasri, known for his work with artists like Justin Bieber. Honest and emotional, the track blends a captivating melody with a distinctive, resonant beat as it expresses a heartfelt desire to be by a loved one’s side every day of the year. At its core, “365” is also a tribute to their fans, 1DERZ (fandom name) – a vow to maintain an unbreakable bond that will carry far into the future.
“‘365’ is ONE OR EIGHT’s first love song, and we wanted to express how it feels when you’re thinking about a special someone. The title also represents the length of time of our auditions for WARPs DIG, which was the beginning of our journey to become ONE OR EIGHT. That’s why the number means so much to us. Through the lyrics, we want to express our immense gratitude and love for all of our fans, 1DERZ, who have been rooting for us over the past year and sharing many unforgettable moments with us.
To the 1DERZ who have been supporting us from the very beginning, as well as those who have recently discovered us, I hope you’ll listen to ‘365’ with someone special! “ – REIA of ONE OR EIGHT
“I was so happy to find out that ONE OR EIGHT chose our song 365 that I wrote with my good friend Noah. It’s the perfect song for them and I hope their fans love it as much as we do. I’ve spent some time in Japan with my band “Magic!” Playing shows over the years and now I have new friends in one of my favorite places in the world,” – Nasri, Writer of “365”
“From the moment Mosaic and I produced the instrumental, I knew we had something special. I shared the beat with Nasri, who masterfully brought it to life with the 365 concept. Then ONE OR EIGHT jumped in—an electrifying young group with serious style and swagger—and put their own spin on it, turning it into something truly undeniable. From our hearts to the world… I can’t wait for everyone to hear this banger! ” – Noah Barer, Producer of “365”
ONE OR EIGHT – “365” (Official Music Video)
Accompanying the single release is the romantic music video for “365”, unfolding as a passionate and poignant recollection of every moment within 365 days spent thinking about a loved one and the feelings shared. Set against an emotional backdrop, the video weaves unforgettable memories of love and shared time into a cinematic narrative. The video was directed by Osrin, one of Japan’s leading creative talents and a founding member of the creative label PERIMETRON, who has worked with major artists including King Gnu, millennium parade, Mr. Children, and GLAY.
“While working on the MV for 365, I saw these guys that are jagged, rough-around-the-edges, silly and playful, but sincerely real. I took all of my favorite parts and pieced them together. When I was finished, I had grown to love each of them,” Osrin (PERIMETRON) shares on directing the music video.
Following the success of their sold-out SHŪKAI fan meeting tour across five cities in North and South America in April, ONE OR EIGHT is set for upcoming events in Asia in Bangkok (July 26) and Japan (August 24 and 26).
With these events and more on the horizon, ONE OR EIGHT continue to blaze their own trail as a rising global force. Fans across Southeast Asia are invited to witness the SHŪKAI experience up close in Bangkok—the group’s first fan meeting event in the region. Tickets are available here.

Krishnah Gravidez may not have won the 2025 Miss World title and crown but she did not go home empty-handed. Not only did she make it to the top 8 of the whole beauty pageant, she was also named Miss World Asia, making her fellow Filipinos proud.
Proving that she is a multi-talented woman, Krishnah actually just released her debut single “Rainbow” — the day before the Miss World pageant. Released under Universal Records, it is a fresh take on the popular and memorable South Border original. Featuring the 24-year-old’s soothing vocals, it is slightly slower and more laidback, giving the song a brand new vibe.
During the pageant, when Krishnah advanced to the top 5 of Miss World Asia and Oceania, a clip was shown where she shared that apart from being a civil engineer, it is also her dream to be a professional singer. With the release of her first-ever single, she is definitely on the right track, and we are excited for what else Krishnah will accomplish not just in the world of pageantry, but also in the music industry.
“Rainbow” by Krishnah Gravidez is now available on all major streaming platforms, with a lyric video available on the YouTube channel of Universal Records.
Following the hedonistic, technicolor pop of “Azizam” and the classic, heartfelt nostalgia of “Old Phone”, Sheeran returns with “Sapphire”—a dazzling anthem of connection and unbridled joy. Radiating with vibrant pop energy and rich cross-cultural influences, the track is poised to make its mark on summer ‘25.
Sheeran’s “Sapphire” is a luminous celebration of love that transcends boundaries. Featuring captivating vocals, intricate South-Asian percussion, backing vocals and sitar by legendary Indian artist Arijit Singh, the song creates a unique tapestry that speaks to the universal language of love. Fans are taken on a sonic journey both intimate and expansive, brought to life by the production talents of Ilya Salmanzadeh, Johnny McDaid, and Savan Kotecha.
Ed Sheeran says “Sapphire was the first song I finished for Play that made me know where the album was heading. It’s why I finished the recording process in Goa surrounded by some of the best musicians in India. It was an incredible creative process. I shot the music video with Liam and Nic across my India tour earlier this year, we wanted to showcase the beauty and breadth of the country and its culture. The final jigsaw piece for me was getting Arijit on the record. It was a journey to get there and such an amazing day of music and family. Me and him have done a full Punjabi version of the song that will come out in the next few weeks, which has a lot more of him on it. This is the album version of the song, and my favourite song on the album. Hope you guys love it. x“
The video for “Sapphire” has been directed by Liam Pethick, features Arijit Singh and a cameo from iconic actor Shah Rukh Khan. It begins with Ed performing the song at dawn on a rooftop, then transitions to a vibrant journey across various locations. Ed’s travels take him from the rooftop to serene beaches, riversides, bustling markets, local kitchens and Bollywood backlots. Highlights include meeting up with Arijit for a studio session and motorcycle ride around his hometown, plus a visit to the A.R. Rahman music school, where he performs with local musicians.
Ed Sheeran releases his new album ‘Play’ on 12th September 2025. (Pre-order here) 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 has also announced three live shows at Portman Road, Ipswich which Sold-Out immediately. These kick off on Friday, July 11th, featuring special guests Myles Smith and Tori Kelly; on July 12th the spotlight shifts to Busted and Dylan; whilst on July 13th it will be James Blunt and Maisie Peters. These are set to take place at Ipswich Town FC’s iconic home ground – Ed being a lifelong supporter of the club, and the official shirt sponsor since 2021. The three night stint will mark Ed’s first UK headline shows since 2023, and will include debut performances of tracks from ‘Play’ alongside fan favourites. £1 from every ticket sold on these shows has been donated to the newly launched Live Trust, a new funding initiative from LIVE that will offer much needed financial support to those working across live music. The Live Trust will initially support the grassroots music sector that is such a vital part of the music ecosystem – from venues and artists to festivals and promoters.

To mark this evolution, the band dropped a heartfelt music video showcasing behind-the-scenes moments from their recent tour. From powerful stage performances to candid fan interactions, the video offers an intimate look at the band’s connection with their audience and each other.
“We’re super stoked to share these new releases with our fans,” says Yael Yuzon, Sponge Cola’s frontman. “‘Liwanag’ and ‘LNP’ reflect where we are now as a band. We’ve grown, experimented, and had fun with these songs—and we can’t wait for everyone to experience them.”

Fête de la Musique, one of the most anticipated live music events in the country, is back for another year of celebrating all kinds of tunes. This time, Shangri-La Plaza is joining the revelries and supporting the Fête community for the first time ever as it mounts _The Ember Stage_, promising performances that flicker with warmth, intimacy, and artistic fire. Don’t miss this one-of-a-kind experience all for free and see the Grand Atrium transform into an urban oasis on June 13 from 5PM to 10PM.
Leading the lineup of young and fresh music for the Fête stage at the Shang is Over October, one of the most prominent pop/alternative rock bands today. Then, there’s Filipino-Nepalese R&B singer-songwriter Jason Dhakal.
With over 564,000 monthly listeners on Spotify, he made his mark in the industry with his soulful, jazz-infused, and groovy renditions of OPM classics.
jikamarie joins the pack with her own brand of R&B-dream pop. With her undeniable talent, she was also tapped to open for Coldplay at their Philippine Arena concert in January 2024. Singer-songwriter and The Voice Kids alum Shanne Dandan is dedicated to blending contemporary music with that “Manila” sound.
Known for creating upbeat music and youthful melodies, Any Name’s Okay is a beloved alternative pop group. The quintet released its latest single _how the heart breaks_ last May, a ballad that explored a new, darker side of the band. Mixing city pop and OPM, ALYSON is surely a must-watch. Always in their suit and tie, the group combines fresh tunes and nostalgic vibes.
Rounding out Shang’s Fête stage is multi-awarded DJ, producer, and entrepreneur HOEST who’s expected to share a blend of house, techno, and electronic music to energize the crowd.
