  •  ZION AGUIRRE DROPS HEARTBREAKING “AYOKO NA” MUSIC VIDEO FEAT. ARJAS

     ZION AGUIRRE DROPS HEARTBREAKING “AYOKO NA” MUSIC VIDEO FEAT. ARJAS

    Singer-songwriter Zion Aguirre makes hearts weep from weariness in the freshly released music video of his single “Ayoko Na” starring “PBB Otso” housemate Argel Saycon and “PBB Gen 11” housemate Jas Dudley-Scales. 

    Argel and Jas are best friends who are unknowingly in love with each other in the video now uploaded on Tarsier Records YouTube channel. It tackles the heart-wrenching narrative of the song about wanting to give up because of the pain caused by a loved one. 

    “Ayoko Na,” Zion’s comeback music offering after two years, was released last March. He shared that he poured out all the emotions he had during his hiatus abroad into the song. 

    “Lahat ng emotions ko beforehand dito ko nailagay kasi kung papakinggan nyo yung song, maririnig nyo mismo kung gaano na siya kapagod in life, parang ayoko na!” he explained. “Generally ganun talaga siya pero syempre main aspect is about love.”   

    The Tarsier Records artist launched his debut extended play (EP), “Bigkas,” in 2022, which contains tracks “Ikaw at Ako (Hanggang Dulo), “in another life,” and more. He started singing worship songs at the age of nine and eventually joined an orchestra where he played the flute. He also began participating in songwriting contests in high school.  

    Check out Zion’s “Ayoko Na” music video on Tarsier Records YouTube channel and continue streaming the single on music streaming platforms. For more details, follow Tarsier Records on Facebook, X (Twitter), Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.

  • MidSummer Unveils “Lihim” – A Stirring Ballad About Unspoken Love

    MidSummer Unveils “Lihim” – A Stirring Ballad About Unspoken Love

    Davao-based band MidSummer makes a heartfelt debut under KDR Music House with the release of “Lihim”, a moving ballad that speaks to the quiet pain of loving someone in silence. Officially released last July 25, Lihim captures the delicate balance between affection and restraint — when feelings are too deep to ignore, yet too risky to reveal.

    With its mellow arrangement, emotionally raw vocals, and relatable lyrics, Lihim resonates with anyone who has ever kept their love hidden, choosing silence over uncertainty. It’s a song that says what many hearts are afraid to admit — that sometimes, the strongest feelings are the ones we never say aloud.

    Following Lihim, KDR Music House is also set to release “Aasa” by Polaris this August 1 — another romantic track that focuses on longing and hope, offering a companion narrative to MidSummer’s tale of secret love.

    Both songs showcase KDR Music House’s dedication to producing original music that speaks to real, often unspoken emotions. Lihim is now available for streaming on all major digital platforms. Let the music speak your heart’s quiet truths.

  • brei Brings Her Track To Life With “Find Your Kislap”

    brei Brings Her Track To Life With “Find Your Kislap”

    Rising OPM artist brei recently unveiled her latest single, “Kislap,” under Universal Records. Just weeks later, she brought its message to life with a one-of-a-kind launch party that truly lived up to its name, held at 225 Bar, Quezon City.

    Titled “Find Your Kislap,” the event wasn’t just a celebration of a new release — it was an experience rooted in the song’s core message: finding and choosing that one special person among a thousand faces in the crowd. Guests were encouraged to mingle through fun and cheeky games like a “love experience” bingo, with prompts such as “Who has ghosted or been ghosted?”, and a daring Bring Me challenge that included requests like “Bring me a photo of your ex” or “Bring me your crush.”

    The night also featured soulful performances from fellow Universal Records artists, It All Started In May (IASIM), and XYVRL, along with a performance from Krey of Diorama — all delivering heartfelt sets centered on love in all its forms: the good, the bad, and everything in between.

    Capping off the night was the highly anticipated performance from the star of the evening herself, brei. She took the stage with her debut single “Eh Di Pasensya Na,” gave fans a surprise with her unreleased track “Digital,” and ended on a high with the much-awaited performance of “Kislap.”

    “Find Your Kislap” wasn’t just a celebration of a new single; it was a reminder that love comes in many forms, and sometimes, all it takes is one spark. “Kislap” is out now on all major streaming platforms!

    Quadlips Delivers Banger Track “Wings Grow Back” – A Feel-Good Baddie Empowerment Anthem!

    Manila, Philippines, July 28, 2025 – After making an impressive showing on their Asian tour, forging emotional connections with new fans across Japan, Indonesia, and the Philippines, the beloved new girl band Quadlips continue making waves in the Asian pop music scene. Comprised of four members from the AKB48 Group Global Project and managed by Japan’s Superball, the four-piece girl band features Feni (JKT48 – Jakarta), Hina (SKE48 – Nagoya), Cole (MNL48 – Manila), and Fame (BNK48 – Bangkok). They accelerate their momentum with their latest release, “Wings Grow Back,” a high-energy pop-dance track filled with bubbly vibes, inspirational lyrics, and an empowering message — now available on all major platforms along with a striking new music video.

    “Wings Grow Back” may have a baddie exterior that could be handy for your TikTok posts or a hit in your favorite clubs, but beneath that, it delivers a positive message of hope, strength, and resilience to listeners going through tough times. It straightforwardly states that even in pain or sadness, our scars can become our armor, that we can pick ourselves up again, and that our wings — symbols of toughness and optimism — can grow back stronger than ever, ready to fly again with pride and confidence. The track hits home especially for Feni, who co-produced and helped shape the concept, costume design, and choreography. Their confident, eccentric dance routine with its strong baddie appeal embodies the fierce, free, and zany energy of the song.

    They definitely went all out with the music video — shot on location in the heart of Tokyo, Japan, featuring sleek JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) cars, popular in street racing and action film culture. These stylish scenes enhance Quadlips’ image as a globally recognized act with a distinctive elegance.

    STAYC Makes Their Summer Comeback with a ‘Cool’ Attitude and a ‘Hot’ Sound!

    Stream Special Single I WANT IT Here Photo: High Up Entertainment

    Beloved for their honest, confident energy and fresh charm, STAYC returns this summer with their special 3-track special single I WANT IT, delivering an addictive hook and energetic vibes that blow away the heat and weight of everyday life.

    This new release showcases a new side of STAYC, blending their signature brightness with a cooler, more laid-back attitude that perfectly captures the feeling of summer. The special single features three tracks: the title track “I WANT IT”, along with “BOY” and “Honestly(반칙)”.

    Title track “I WANT IT” is an electronic dance-pop song with a powerful synth riff and rhythmic progression that creates an instantly addictive hook. The lyric “Good things we ok” encapsulates a mindset of staying true to oneself and moving forward with unwavering confidence, even in life’s uncertainties. The message “Even my imperfections are my weapons” reflects STAYC’s bold self-assurance and unique brand of coolness as they continue to embrace and celebrate who they truly are.

    “BOY” is a medium-tempo urban pop track that layers dreamy synths over an 808 bassline. Its lyrics capture the honest, fluttering emotions felt at the start of love — adding a sweet and relatable note to the special single.

    “Honestly(반칙)” (literally meaning “foul” or “unfair”) uses clever wordplay to express the feeling of constantly being pushed back in love. With its groovy bassline and retro wood synth sounds, the track creates a dreamy yet urban atmosphere that resonates with anyone who has felt love’s playful unfairness.

    With I WANT IT, STAYC continues to evolve their sound and image, combining honest storytelling with an irresistibly refreshing vibe. Whether fans are celebrating with friends, finding confidence in themselves, or simply soaking up the summer heat, STAYC’s music is here to be the soundtrack for unforgettable moments.

  • It All Started In May Releases Second Single: “Pasado”

    It All Started In May Releases Second Single: “Pasado”

    Following their explosive debut with “O’ Kay Tamis,” OPM sensation “It All Started In May” (IASIM) has gifted fans their second single, “Pasado,” now available on all streaming platforms. This release comes just one month after their debut — a direct response to overwhelming demand from their rapidly growing fanbase, affectionately dubbed “Mayopets” — a clever fusion of the Filipino word for May, “Mayo,” and “malupet,” which means impressive or cool.

    “Pasado” is about admiring someone from afar, wondering if they’re out of your league, filled with the uncertainty of being able to meet their standards. The song lyrically asks questions such as, “Mali nga ba ang humanga sa isang katulad mo?” (“Is it wrong to admire someone like you?”) while its catchy chorus reinforces this sentiment: “Coz’ it feels like you’re out of my league, out of my league, oh baby! Parang hindi pasado, pasado sa iyo!” (It feels like I can’t pass your standards).

    With its fun, lighthearted, and memorable melody, “Pasado” is an easy listen that makes it a perfect addition to any playlist. Both fans and new listeners alike are sure to appreciate the infectious energy of this track.

    The band is composed of five members: Red as lead vocals and guitar, Mikee on drums, Jai on keyboard, Pau on rhythm guitar and vocals, and JP on bass and vocals. They released their debut single “O’ Kay Tamis” last May and it has been well-received. Apart from the song being used by a lot of people in their social media content, “O’ Kay Tamis” has also been featured in six editorial playlists on Spotify — definitely a big achievement for a new band!

    As IASIM continues to gain momentum in the music scene, fans can look forward to more exciting releases — and gigs — in the coming months.

  • Top 5 kilig moments from Puregold Channel’s hit digital series, Si Sol at si Luna!

    Top 5 kilig moments from Puregold Channel’s hit digital series, Si Sol at si Luna!

    Whenever two people are bound by a strong chemistry, the way towards love is often made more thrilling by a sense of anticipation, fleeting moments that intensify rather than detract from romantic fulfillment. Seven episodes into Puregold’s Si Sol at si Luna, avid viewers of the hit digital series are caught in the spell, not just through Sol and Luna’s furtive glances or almost-kisses, but also because of the deep and strong attraction brewing between them.

    Love is love in any language but for Filipinos who perpetually need a dopamine fix, kilig—the butterflies in the stomach or the shiver down the spine—is what best describes the sensation they feel as they watch sweet romance unfold. Here, we present Si Sol at si Luna’s top five kilig moments that had its followers squealing into their pillows.

    1. That First Glimpse (Episode 1, “Babae sa Bus”)
      Sometimes, kilig comes quietly. In the very first episode, Sol (Zaijian Jaranilla) captures Luna (Jane Oineza) crying on the bus as he gathers clips for his documentary, marking the series’ turning point. As if drawn by a strong irresistible force, Sol resolves to know Luna’s story.
      Moments of tenderness and vulnerability, gleaned from Luna and Sol’s compelling attraction for each other, are what get fans hooked on the unfolding story.
    In Puregold’s ‘Si Sol at si Luna’ the kilig is never-ending.
    Sol and Luna share a quiet moment in the midst of unfolding emotions.
    Sol gets to know Luna on a deeper level in the next episode.
    1. Ben and Luna during the Office Karaoke Party (Episode 3, “Chasing the Girl”)
      As viewers’ comments attest, not all the kilig moments are between Sol and Luna. During team leader Ben’s (Joao Constancia) birthday karaoke celebration, viewers couldn’t help swooning over how he showed affection for Luna–from listening to her emotional performance (while everyone seemed to ignore her song) to making sure she got home safe.
      Ben may not be the series’ main lead, but his feelings for and careful attention to Luna were not lost on viewers.
    Luna’s smile appears brighter with Sol.
    Tension and tenderness build as Sol and Luna grow closer each week.
    1. When Sol Met the Family (Episode 6, “Meet the Family”)
      Ara (Karina Bautista) and Sol’s team-up for a pretend “date” melted hearts. Ara’s fear of being seen as someone “unlovable” by her family was met with Sol’s steady kindness as he stepped in, no questions asked.
      When they held hands during her family gathering, the comfort between them felt natural, and fans couldn’t help wondering, is there a possibility that they would end up together?
    Moments shared between Sol and Luna continue to resonate with audiences.
    Luna’s team leader Ben, who seems to be very fond of her, meets Sol.
    1. Luna Waits for Sol (Episode 6, “Meet the Family”)
      In the same episode, Luna and Sol finally scheduled an interview for the project, but Sol was stuck at Ara’s family event. As the day wore on, tension built. Sol was running late but in the final shot, he comes upon Luna, still there, waiting.
      That scene convinced fans that Luna wanted to see Sol, no matter how long it took. Sometimes, kilig is in the waiting.
    As the story progresses, Sol and Luna’s bond becomes increasingly difficult to ignore.
    Each encounter between Sol and Luna adds new layers to their evolving relationship.
    1. The Almost “Kiss” (Episode 7, “The Interview”)
      Of course, the top kilig moment was the intimate, emotionally charged interview in Luna’s apartment. As she opened up, Sol became visibly more drawn to her—not just emotionally, but physically. He was seemingly engrossed in filming her, but it was clear that he was barely listening, as he was lost in the moment. When they both reached for something that dropped on the floor, their faces drew close, and for a second, viewers thought they would kiss. Chemistry, timing, and an intimate setting made for the most recent episode’s most exciting kilig moment.
    What kilig does the next episode have in store for us?
    Ben catches Sol and Luna kissing in the next episode of the much-awaited series.
    Will Sol and Luna finally meet halfway? The latest episode may hold the answer.

    It’s a weekly treat, a break from life’s sameness and routine, the way Puregold Channel continues to deliver not just kilig, but a story that feels real and relatable.

    In Episode 8 ‘Field Trip sa Real World?’, we will know if Sol will fall even deeper, and whether Luna will meet him halfway. And if she does, how will the world react? Will there be more kilig? We’ll just have to wait and see.

    Catch Si Sol at si Luna’s 8th episode on Saturday, July 19, at 7 PM, only on Puregold Channel.

  • ABS-CBN’S new P-POP group WRIVE debuts with double music offering “Ooh La La,” “Senorita!”

    ABS-CBN’S new P-POP group WRIVE debuts with double music offering “Ooh La La,” “Senorita!”

    The five-member group is all set to reach for their dreams!

    WRIVE has dropped its double-title debut offering, “Ooh La La” and “Señorita,” signaling its official launch as ABS-CBN’s newest Filipino boy group.

    Managed by ABS-CBN’s talent management, Polaris-Star Magic and signed under the premier record label Star Music,  the five-member group is made up of Asi, Drei, Ishiro, Mathew, and Russu who were all a part of the idol survival show “Dream Maker” in 2022.

    WRIVE, pronounced as ‘rayv,’ is derived from the phrase “we have arrived” which represents the members’ unity to reach their dreams.

    The pop-funk track “Ooh La La” describes a romantic journey of wanting to escape reality with someone special. It was produced by ABS-CBN Music content, creatives, and operations head Jonathan Manalo and composed by ALAS and Jeremy G.

    Meanwhile, WRIVE member Russu composed the pop-R&B song “Señorita” which displays Latin music influence that delves into winning the heart of the person they love. ALAS also served as the track’s producer.

    The music video of “Ooh La La” will premiere on Thursday (July 17), 8pm on ABS-CBN Star Music YouTube channel.

    The two songs will be part of the P-pop group’s debut album set to be released later this year. They are also set to perform in the upcoming Star Magic All-Star Games 2025 happening at the Araneta Coliseum this July 20 (Sunday).

    Feel the electrifying energy of WRIVE’s singles “Ooh La La” and “Señorita” available on various streaming platforms. For more details, follow WRIVE on Facebook, X, Instagram, and TikTok.

    Viva Communications Inc. partners with South Korea’s Milagro in Strategic Entertainment Deal

    On July 9, Viva Communications Inc., one of the biggest entertainment groups in the Philippines, inked an agreement with Milagro, a South Korean-based entertainment company that offers total management solutions, ranging from artist scouting and training to diverse business ventures.

    This strategic partnership aims to represent South Korean artists from Milagro in the Philippines and build up Filipino artists in South Korea. Considered another significant milestone in the Philippine entertainment industry, this collaboration plays a key role in creating more avenues for artistic exchange between the two countries.

    The contract signing was spearheaded by Viva Group of Companies Chairman of the Board and CEO Vicente “Boss Vic” del Rosario Jr. and Milagro Korea COO Yoo Jisang, Viva Artists Agency President and COO Veronique Del Rosario-Corpus, and Viva Records Corporation President Verb Del Rosario.

    To mark the beginning of this creative alliance, Filipina singer and actress Aubrey Caraan is set to collaborate on a recording project with South Korean singer-actor Daewon Lee.

    Aubrey is a multi-talented artist that thrives in both music and acting. Her track “How You Feel” has landed on several Spotify charts in the Philippines, while she also stars as Samantha Vera in the Viva One series Avenues of the Diamond.

    Daewon Lee, on the other hand, is a well-rounded entertainer with a background in singing, acting, and sports. He debuted as a member of the idol group OFFROAD and gained widespread recognition through his appearance in the first season of Mr. Trot, a reality television and talent show. Beyond entertainment, he has also excelled in Mixed Martial Arts, holding a championship title under Angel’s Fighting Championship with an undefeated record of 8 wins and 0 losses.

    Through this long-term collaboration, both Viva Communications Inc. and Milagro Korea are looking forward to nurturing talents, bridge cultures, and create impactful opportunities for artists in both the Philippines and South Korea.
