    Maymay Entrata sings Nasaan Ang Hiling, the Filipino version of original single from “Disney’s Snow White”

    The digital track and music video releases on March 19, in time for the theatrical release of Disney’s Snow White

    March 17, 2025. Philippines — Disney today announced the release of Nasaan ang Hiling, the Filipino version of Waiting on a Wish from “Disney’s Snow White.” The local rendition is performed by actress-singer Maymay Entrata and will be released as a single digitally and in a music video on March 19. 

    In her first experience lending her voice for a Disney release, Maymay shared that what she likes most about the song is its empowering message, which she thinks will resonate with the youth. “I want this song to help them to keep dreaming and to have faith, kasi with faith, anything is possible,” she shared. (“I want this song to help them to keep dreaming and to have faith, because with faith, anything is possible.”)

    Allie Benedicto, Head of Integrated Marketing at The Walt Disney Company Southeast Asia, shared, “As Disney’s very first princess, the story of Snow White has touched the hearts of fans worldwide. With this live-action remake, we’re excited to share her timeless values of kindness and bravery with a new generation of fans. To deepen the local connection to this film through music, we are excited to work with the talented and beloved Maymay Entrata on a local rendition of ‘Waiting on a Wish’ in Disney’s Snow White. We hope fans in the Philippines will resonate with the beautiful lyrics of this song and feel inspired to become more like Snow White.”

    Aside from the digital release of the Filipino track, Maymay will also be performing Nasaan ang Hiling live at SM Seaside Cebu on March 19 and SM Lanang Premier, Davao on March 21. Both performances, scheduled at 5 PM, are open to the public.

    “Disney’s Snow White,” the live-action musical reimagining of the studio’s classic 1937 film, is a magical music adventure which journeys back to the timeless story with Rachel Zegler in the title role and Gal Gadot as her Stepmother, the Evil Queen. The film opens exclusively in cinemas March 19, 2025. 

    Nasaan ang Hiling‘s original English version, Waiting on a Wish, is the first single from Walt Disney Records’ original soundtrack. It was written by EGOT® winners Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, with additional lyrics by Jack Feldman. The song was produced by Benj Pasek, Justin Paul, Ian Eisendrath and Dave Metzger, and is performed by Rachel Zegler.

    Playback Music Festival: Boys Like Girls, The Click Five, and Secondhand Serenade Live in One Historic Night

    Playback Music Festival: Boys Like Girls, The Click Five, and Secondhand Serenade

    This isn’t just a concert—it’s a moment in music history.

    For the first time ever, Boys Like Girls, The Click Five, and Secondhand Serenade are coming together for two back-to-back nights of pure nostalgia and unforgettable music—performing full sets with four hours of non-stop hits.

    Catch them live on May 9 at The MOA Arena in Manila and May 10 at The Waterfront Cebu City Hotel.

    If Thunder, Jenny, or Fall For You were part of the soundtrack of your life, this is the concert you never thought you’d get to see—but now, it’s happening.

    Playback Music Festival is turning back time and bringing back the songs that hit differently—the anthems that defined an era, the ones you screamed in your room, blasted on your iPod, and played on repeat after every high and low.

    And it’s not just about the music—fans can also enjoy exciting festival activities and exclusive merch, making this event more than just a concert.

    A Lineup That Shouldn’t Even Be Possible

    The team at Super Awesome Productions has done something special—put together a lineup that, until now, only existed in 2000s playlists. It’s a crossover that shouldn’t even be possible, yet here it is, and you have one shot to be part of it.

    At the heart of it all is Ms. Stephanie Moreno, a passionate music enthusiast, DJ, and the visionary CEO of 360 Marketing Agency Super Awesome Productions, a company dedicated to creating immersive brand experiences.

    Growing up, Stephanie’s love for music started at just eight years old, but coming from a humble background, she never had the chance to experience live music performances.

    That passion, combined with a deep love for culture, music, experiences, and people, fuels her mission today—to create unforgettable moments for others on a scale that has never been seen before.

    Playback Music Festival is more than nostalgia—it’s about bringing back the energy, the culture, and the moments that defined an era.

    Why You Can’t Afford to Miss This

    You know the songs. You’ve lived the moments. But when was the last time you felt that rush of nostalgia live, surrounded by thousands of people who know every lyric just like you do?

    This might be the first—and only—time these three bands share a stage. One weekend. Two highly recognized venues. No do-overs. If you miss it, you’ll be kicking yourself for years, wondering… What If?

    So lock in the date, grab your tickets, and get ready. Because this isn’t just a concert—it’s the kind of night that only happens once.

It’s for anyone who’s ever been pushed too far and decided to flip the script.“

  • Ramdiss Releases New Rap Track “Anino”

    Ramdiss Releases New Rap Track “Anino”

    Ramdiss comes through with his latest single, “Anino,” an intense rap song about friendship, envy, and life’s divergent paths. The song tells the story of two friends who grow up together, only to find themselves on vastly different trajectories. While one friend enjoys a life filled with success, winning the girl of their dreams, traveling abroad, and achieving financial stability, the other grapples with feelings of inadequacy and envy, feeling like a mere shadow in his friend’s spotlight.

    Ramdiss’ lyrical prowess shines through in “Anino,” as he crafts a vivid story that draws listeners in with its hypnotizing flow. His ability to build tension and create a compelling climax keeps the audience engaged, making them eager to discover how the story unfolds. The song’s unerringly real theme is a reminder to everyone who has ever felt overshadowed or envious of a friend’s success — that envy is a deadly sin for a reason.

    “Anino” by Ramdiss featuring Hero, released under Universal Records Philippines, is now available on all streaming platforms.

  • Black Eyed Peas Live in Manila 2025!

    Black Eyed Peas Live in Manila 2025!

    Party with their Greatest Hits and More!

    Breaking News – Six-time GRAMMY® Award-winning trio and one of the best-selling groups of all time, BLACK EYED PEAS is finally coming to Manila on August 27, 2025 at the Mall of Asia Arena. Presented by Wilbros Live. Tickets go on-sale on Saturday, March 15, 12PM via SMTickets.com and SM Tickets outlets nationwide.

    Over the past 30 years, the Los Angeles trio–will.i.am, Apl.de.Ap, and Taboo–have achieved sales of 35 million albums and 120 million singles across seminal releases such as Elephunk, The E.N.D., and more. One of the era’s biggest acts, they emerged as “the second best-selling artist/group of all-time for downloaded tracks” (Nielsen) and landed on Billboard’s “Hot 100 Artists of the Decade”. In 2011, they dazzled the world with a landmark performance at the Super Bowl XLV Halftime Show.

    They have released several chart-topping hits, including “I Gotta Feeling”, “Where is the Love?”, “Pump It”, “Boom Boom Pow”, “My Humps”, “Meet Me Halfway”, “Let’s Get It Started”, “The Time (Dirty Bit)”, “Don’t Stop The Party”, and many more.

    Their eighth studio album, TRANSLATION, achieved staggering international success after its release in 2020. Featuring major collaborations with artists such as J Balvin, Ozuna, Maluma, Shakira, Nicky Jam, and Tyga, the long-player garnered eight nominations at the Billboard Latin Music Awards, including ‘Crossover Artist of the Year” and “Hot Latin Song of the Year” for “RITMO” and a nomination at the 2021 Latin Music Awards for ‘“Favorite Artists – Crossover”. The album resulted in a series of chart-topping singles, including the massively successful “RITMO (Bad Boys For Life)” [feat. J Balvin] and “MAMACITA” [feat. Ozuna and J.Rey Soul], both of which achieved #1 status on three Billboard Charts each, numerous award nominations, and gold, platinum, and diamond certifications globally. The knockout album single from December 2020, “GIRL LIKE ME” [feat. Shakira] continued this streak, achieving success on Latin and Top 40 radio, sparking a viral TikTok challenge in late 2020, and scooping “Best Latin” award at the MTV VMAs, while 2021’s ‘HIT IT’ with Saweetie and Lele Pons racked up 5.8M global audio streams, 1.1M US audio streams and almost 10M YouTube views in its first week alone.

    The success of TRANSLATION demonstrated Black Eyed Peas’ ability to reinvent themselves along with the changing times, a fact reconfirmed in 2022 when the band reunited with Shakira and David Guetta for DON’T YOU WORRY, the first single to drop from their ninth studio album ELEVATION. The hugely successful lead single was swiftly followed by the Anitta and El Alfa collaboration SIMPLY THE BEST. In 2023 true BEP fashion, harnessing the musical forces of the Americas, the next single BAILAR CONTIGO (with reggaeton superstar Daddy Yankee) followed by GUARANTEE (SUMMER MIX), has opened up yet another brilliant chapter in the continuing story of the Black Eyed Peas in nothing less than international chart-topping style.

  • Get Festival-Ready! 5 Ways to Prep Your Body for the Ultimate Music Fest with Bear Brand Sterilized

    Get Festival-Ready! 5 Ways to Prep Your Body for the Ultimate Music Fest with Bear Brand Sterilized

    Music lovers, are you ready to dance, jump, and rock out all night long? The Fusion Music Festival is just around the corner, and Bear Brand Sterilized is here to make sure you FEEL MALINIS, FEEL MATIBAY and that you bring your A-game to the mosh pit, dance floor, and sing-along sessions!

    To help you last through the epic lineup without running out of energy, here are five fun and effective ways to get festival-fit—because strong bones, endurance, and immune system are the real VIP passes to a legendary night!

    1. Strengthen Those Festival Feet with Calf Raises
      You’ll be standing, walking, and dancing for hours, so let’s make sure your legs can keep up! Do calf raises every morning—stand on your toes, lift your heels, and lower back down. It’s a simple yet effective move to keep your feet from cramping up during your favorite set!
    2. Build Your Stamina with High-Intensity Jumps
      Music festivals = nonstop jumping! Whether you’re headbanging at a rock set or bouncing to an EDM drop, your legs and lungs need stamina. Start doing jump squats and burpees a few weeks before the festival. These will boost your endurance and make sure you’re not gasping for air after just one song.

    Festival Fuel: Drinking Bear Brand Sterilized before and after workouts can help you recover faster and develop that Tibay Resistensya, so you’re always ready for another round of jumps!

    1. Power Up Your Core for Those Dance Moves
      Let’s be real—no one wants to be that person who runs out of energy mid-dance. Strengthen your core with planks, Russian twists, and bicycle crunches to keep up with every beat drop! A solid core also helps with balance, so you don’t lose your footing in a sea of festival-goers.
    2. Hydration is Key—Drink Smart!
      Festival heat + hours of dancing = dehydration danger! Start hydrating days before and choose drinks that replenish nutrients, not just quench thirst.

    Festival Hack: Bear Brand Sterilized isn’t just a great source of hydration—it’s packed with fortified nutrients like calcium, iron, and zinc to help keep you energized and ready for every beat drop.

    1. Stretch It Out to Avoid Post-Festival Soreness
      No one wants to wake up feeling like a zombie after the festival. Stretch your legs, back, and shoulders before heading out to the venue to avoid muscle aches the next day. A quick yoga session or dynamic stretching will do the trick!

    Recovery Tip:Giving your body the right nutrients helps with muscle recovery, so you wake up the next day ready for round two—or just reminiscing about the epic night you had!

    Music festivals aren’t just about the lineup—they’re about pure energy, unforgettable moments, and dancing like nobody’s watching. Bear Brand Sterilized has your back in these exciting moments. Packed with essential vitamins and minerals, it helps strengthen your bones, keeps your energy levels up, and ensures you power through every performance to help you FEEL MALINIS, FEEL MATIBAY.

    So, drink up, prep like a pro, and get ready for a festival experience you’ll never forget. See you at the Fusion Music Festival—let’s make memories that last a lifetime!

    Mark your calendars for March 15, be at CCP Open Grounds, and don’t miss out on this incredible event! Secure your tickets at https://www.ticketmelon.com/praxis/fusion-2025https://www.ticketmelon.com/praxis/fusion-2025. Let the music and winning moments begin!

  • Raveena announces Where The Butterflies Go in the Rain Deluxe Album due Feb 28th

    Raveena announces Where The Butterflies Go in the Rain Deluxe Album due Feb 28th

    SHARES NEW SINGLE & VIDEO “SUN DON’T LEAVE ME”

    Raveena

    Following the release of her latest album Where the Butterflies Go in the Rain, Raveena returns to announce the deluxe version due Feb 28th. The deluxe was finished in the midst of the LA fires and features two new singles and an updated version of “Lose My Focus” that now features Umi as well as a remix of the single. These new songs embrace themes of love, maturity, comfort, and domesticity, while also addressing heavy climate grief and longing for a simpler time.

    Alongside the announcement Raveena shares a taste of the forthcoming project with a new single and video “Sun Don’t Leave Me” filmed in South Africa. Speaking about the new song, Raveena shares:

    “This song captures the feeling of grief for a simpler time on Earth – for the grief of our Earth’s resources, climate and beauty rapidly declining. I was feeling the intensity of this song more than ever because of the ways the fires in LA were affecting me and my loved ones, as a person in the highest level evacuation zone. Even larger than climate grief, this song contemplates the feeling of wanting to hold onto one more beautiful sunset, one more passionate embrace, before things change again and hard times strike. I was really inspired by people like Fleetwood Mac, Joni Mitchell and Leon Bridges for this record.”

    The new single and video precedes upcoming tour dates to be announced soon and follows the release of Raveena’s film Where The Butterflies Went, a 30-minute piece executive produced by James Beard Award-winning chef and two-time Emmy Award nominee Sophia Roe in collaboration with the multidisciplinary collective Aerthship. 

    Embracing the sounds of classic artists like Brandy, Bob Marley and Marvin Gaye, to name a few, Where the Butterflies Go in the Rain draws inspiration from people who as Raveena describes, “are really good at capturing the beauty and loss of life in the same breath.” In her signature style, Raveena seamlessly unites that expansive songwriting with traditional Indian instruments and feel-good early 2000s pop hits —putting forth a work that’s more unabashedly herself than any that’s come before.

    In the few years since releasing her previous album, Asha’s Awakening, Raveena has toured nationally and internationally, become the first woman of Indian heritage to perform solo at Coachella, and recently completed her Saturn Return—welcoming a season of growth, transformation, and calm that’s central to her newest full-length offering. Raveena reflects on her new album, “I don’t think I’ve ever understood a record so well before—It wasn’t like the process I used to have with past albums where I was more anxious about being at my best. This time, it was all intuition, and I knew the album was right when I finally had the feeling of rest.”

    Watch the music video for “Sun Don’t Leave Me” above and stay tuned for the deluxe album coming soon.

  • A Decade of OPM: Fusion Philippine Music Festival’s 10th Anniversary!

    A Decade of OPM: Fusion Philippine Music Festival’s 10th Anniversary!

    Directed by Paul Basinillo

    – As the director of concerts, events, films, music videos, and TV commercials, I am beyond excited to announce the 10th anniversary of Fusion: The Philippine Music Festival, happening on March 15, 2025, at the CCP Concert Grounds in Pasay City. With the theme “Isang Dekadang Musika,” this milestone event is not just about celebrating the past—it’s about setting the tone for the future of concert experiences in the Philippines.

    Looking back at the very first Fusion concert in 2015, our goal was simple: to unite artists from different genres and showcase the strength of Original Pilipino Music (OPM). Now, ten years later, we’re taking things to the next level—not just by gathering the best and biggest artists, but by redefining what it means to go to a concert.

    A New Era of Concert-Going: More Than Just a Show

    With today’s digital era shifting entertainment consumption towards streaming, we want to bring back the thrill of live music—to make concert-going a must-do experience again, especially for the younger generation. Fusion 2025 is designed to be more than just a show—it’s an all-day, immersive festival that goes beyond the main stage.

    Here’s what fans can expect:

    • Interactive Activities & Side Events – The experience starts long before the first note is played. Attendees can explore interactive booths, fan experiences, art installations, and even meet-and-greet sessions with some of their favorite artists.
    • Special Production Numbers & Collaborations – Expect unique collaborations and once-in-a-lifetime performances that you won’t see anywhere else. We’re planning exclusive mash-ups, surprise guests, and fresh takes on OPM classics.
    • Immersive Stage Design & Visual Storytelling – Our creative and show team is crafting a stage that’s not just visually stunning but also fully immersive, making sure the audience feels like they’re part of the show.
    • A Celebration of Filipino Culture & Creativity – More than just a concert, Fusion 2025 aims to highlight the richness of our music, art, and pop culture, all in one massive event.

    A Star-Studded Lineup

    For this year’s special edition, Fusion brings together some of the biggest and most influential OPM artists, including:

    • Ben&Ben – The folk-pop phenomenon that has captured hearts worldwide.
    • December Avenue – Masters of emotional and anthemic storytelling.
    • The Itchyworms – One of the most enduring and beloved rock bands in the country.
    • Zack Tabudlo – A global breakout star with his signature pop and R&B sound.
    • Barbie Almalbis – An icon in alternative rock and a pioneer of OPM’s evolution.
    • KAIA – One of the most exciting new acts in the P-pop scene.
    • Alamat – A P-pop boy group blending modern music with cultural heritage.
    • Maki – Making waves online with viral songs like Dilaw; which also made the first Pinoy song to top Billboard’s relaunched Philippine Hot 100 Charts. 
    • ALLMOS$T – Hip Hop group behind trending songs like Bagay Tayo, Dalaga and recently, Boyfriend.

    A Director’s Vision: Paul Basinillo

    As someone who has directed concerts for some of the biggest names in the industry—including Sarah Geronimo, Bamboo, Gloc-9, James Reid, and major live events like SEA games, PBA openings and UAAP opening, my goal has always been to create shows that go beyond just the music. I believe concerts should tell a story, create an atmosphere, and give audiences something unforgettable.

    This 10th year of Fusion is a milestone for OPM, proving that Filipino music continues to evolve, grow, and inspire. But more than that, it’s a milestone for live entertainment in the Philippines. This is our chance to set the standard for what a modern Filipino music festival can be—something that rivals international festivals, with our own unique identity.

    This isn’t just about the past decade of OPM. This is about the next generation of Filipino music, artists, and fans. This is about bringing people back to live events, making concerts an experience they will always want to be part of.

    Witness how Fusion continues to shape the OPM scene and redefine what a live concert experience should be.
