    Sounds of the City

    Almost every corner of City of Dreams Manila becomes a vibrant musical stage with the launch of “Sounds of the City”, where various musical genres elevate the entertainment and dining experience at the integrated resort.

    Besides CenterPlay, the property’s well-loved hotel restaurants and lobbies, become sites of musical enjoyment with local artists bringing in a new vibe. “Sounds of the City” aptly positions the integrated resort as the entertainment district for live music in Paranaque’s Aseana and Entertainment City.

    Nüwa Manila

    The soothing and graceful music of a harpist welcomes guests at the hotel lobby from Monday to Thursday, 5:30 to 8 pm, setting the mood for refined evenings.

    At Haliya, just off the lobby, an acoustic duo performs timeless serenades and ballads, inspired by the soulful tunes of Filipino harana.  Happening from Friday to Sunday, 6 to 10 pm, the modern-day harana sessions charm guests as they partake of reimagined Filipino cuisine.

    Breezes’ outdoor dining next to the hotel’s luxurious pool, sets the ideal tone of laidback bossa nova and samba rhythms that enliven the mood from Friday to Sunday, 5 to 8 pm as diners enjoy Western and Asian menu choices complemented by an extensive selection of spirits.

    Nobu Hotel Manila

    At the hip Manila outpost of the world-renowned restaurant of Chef Nobu Matsuhisa, entrancing DJ tracks match the posh and stylish yet relaxed vibe at Nobu Manila from Thursday to Saturday, 7 to 10 pm, as diners relish the globally recognized new-style Japanese cuisine of the celebrity chef. 

    Wave — the hotel’s contemporary poolside deck restaurant offering all-time favorite casual dishes, refreshing beverages and tropical cocktails — transforms into a hip night spot, with an acoustic sundown session featuring a duo from Friday to Sunday, 6 to 9 pm.

    Hyatt Regency Manila

    Every Saturday and Sunday at The Café at Hyatt Regency Manila, a live performance of hit songs through the decades by an acoustic trio from 7 to 10 pm elevates diners’ mood as they feast on the lavish spread of Asian and Western fare, replete with free flowing red and white house wines, local draft beer, and other refreshments.

    On weekdays, from 5:30 to 8:30 pm, The Lounge adjacent to the Hyatt Regency hotel lobby, highlights a sultry female vocalist accompanied by a jazz musician. The soothing jazz renditions of popular songs, along with a selection of sandwiches and snacks, premium wine, tea, and coffee make this lounge an ideal spot to unwind after a workday.

    CenterPlay 

    At the center of the gaming floor, CenterPlay continues to delight guests daily from 6 pm to 2 am, with trendy and contemporary music by live bands and DJs. On the last Thursday of the month, the cool snack and cocktail lounge draws a huge following with a live concert from top OPM (Original Pilipino Music) artists, entertaining guests while they savor light meals, signature cocktail concoctions, beers, wines, and other beverages.

  • Plume releases his true emotions with new track “Panggap”

    Plume releases his true emotions with new track “Panggap”

    AltG Records’ Baguio-based singer-songwriter Plume bares his soul and emotions in his second single “Panggap,” set to release this August 30 on digital platforms worldwide. The track explores the theme of masked emotions and the quest for genuine happiness.

    The inspiration behind “Panggap” stems from the story of an individual struggling and pretending to be happy. Plume explains, “The main inspiration for the song is about someone who’s trying to pretend to be happy. While he is pretending, he’s trying to find someone to pretend with, and as they go on with their lives and journey, they eventually learn to be happy together without having to pretend.”

    A personal experience also influenced the creation of Plume’s track. “There was a day when I was having a bad day, and I was talking to someone who was also feeling down. Instead of telling her I was also in a bad mood, I pretended I was fine and just tried to cheer her up so that at least one of us would feel better.”

    One of the most striking lines from “Panggap” is “Tumawa ka lang, ngumiti ka lang na tila wala nang bukas pa.”

    “I wanted the listener, or in this case, the person in the story, to just be happy. You don’t have to pretend. Just be happy. If you can smile, just smile. Live your life to the fullest, as if it’s your last day to be happy. So why not do it right now?,” says Plume.

    Through the song, he hopes to inspire listeners to embrace their true emotions. “I hope that those who are pretending to be someone they’re not or hiding their true feelings, that when they listen to this song, will be inspired to be true to themselves. If you’re sad, cry. If you’re happy, laugh. I hope this song encourages people to be honest with their emotions,” he ends.

    “Panggap” will be available on all major streaming platforms starting August 30.

  • Mikee Quintos’ latest single “Senyales” brings light to the uncertainties of love

    Mikee Quintos’ latest single “Senyales” brings light to the uncertainties of love

    After her bubbly debut single “Just Enough” in 2021, Sparkle artist Mikee Quintos returns with a new single under GMA Playlist, “Senyales,” now available on digital platforms worldwide. 

    “Senyales” explores the uncertainties of a blossoming relationship, drawing inspiration from the singer-actress’ real-life romance with her current boyfriend, Paul Salas. The song’s cover art is based on a real photo of them before they officially became a couple. 

    Mikee dedicates the song to him, especially the titular lyric “Ilang senyales pa ba?” as she recalls how long it took Paul to realize that the feelings were mutual. 

    “Minsan kasi ayaw natin sabihin ng diretso, gusto natin mauna sila umamin,” she explains with how girls tend to opt for roundabout confessions of love. “Medyo ang tagal din ng senyales ko kay Paul bago niya makuha na gusto ko na rin siya.”

    The singer-actress also hopes to bring back the easy sing-along songs from the 90s and 2000s with the relaxing vibes of “Senyales.” “It’s pop, but not like upbeat pop. It’s relaxed pop. I imagine people listening to it when they drive.” Mikee states that she misses songs anyone can sing from start to end, which she wants to achieve with her new single.

    “Senyales” is Mikee’s second single under GMA Playlist. Although she is still a relatively newcomer to the music industry, she admits that the new single is a step closer to the fulfillment she seeks in her music. “I feel more comfortable and relaxed with this song and this genre.” 

    As a singer, Mikee notes many factors in her songs, such as getting her message across and if she is being heard. “Iba ‘yung naririnig sa pinapakinggan. Pinapakinggan ba ako, gusto ba ako pakinggan?” As a music lover, Mikee hopes her listeners can connect with her songs the same way she does when she listens to other songs.

    “Senyales” resonates with people who struggle to express their overwhelming feelings. “Yung hindi nila malabas kaso pumuputok na yung feelings nila with love. Ito yun. This is that song.”

    Listen to Mikee’s single “Senyales” on all digital platforms beginning July 26.

    “The first time I heard it, sobrang na-in love agad ako,” shares Mitzi. “It’s been a while since I recorded it and I’ve been dying to share it with everyone. I can imagine this song being played at a wedding – that kind of love song.

    The song’s lyrics, penned by Rina Mercado, paint a picture of a couple deeply in love and comfortable with each other’s company. Although Mitzi has previously contributed to the soundtrack of GMA’s hit series “Royal Blood” with the song “Balik,” “Could Get Used To You,” is her first official single and Mitzi is more than eager to focus on her music career.

    “I’m torn between acting and music, but for now, I want to concentrate on my music. I’m excited to explore different genres and showcase my growth as an artist. I want to join musicals and my dream role is to be ‘Joy’ of ‘Ang Huling El Bimbo: The Musical.’ I’d also love to try out for international musicals.

  • Emo Night Manila Teams Up with Emo Night Bangkok for an Epic Emo & Pop Punk Party!

    Emo Night Manila Teams Up with Emo Night Bangkok for an Epic Emo & Pop Punk Party!

    MANILA, PHILIPPINES – Emo Night Manila (ENM) is thrilled to announce its largest emo and pop punk party yet, happening on September 7, 2024, at the Brooklyn Warehouse. The DJ-based dance party will feature anthems from the 2000s, bringing together emo and pop-punk fans for an unforgettable night of music and camaraderie.

    In a spectacular collaboration with Emo Night Bangkok, ENM is set to elevate the emo experience to new heights. This marks an exciting milestone as Emo Night Manila continues to grow since its humble beginnings in a small Poblacion bar. What started as an intimate gathering has evolved into one of Manila’s most anticipated events, consistently selling out and now drawing attendees of up to 900 guests.

    Following a successful anniversary celebration in June, which saw two full-house shows in Boracay at Exit Bar, ENM’s reputation for delivering electrifying experiences is firmly established. The recent transition from small bar shows to larger events, including one sold-out show at Baked Studios, Makati, underscores emo culture’s lively and enduring appeal in the Philippines.

    ENM was born alongside the recent emo revival, with the return of beloved bands like Saosin, Simple Plan, Silverstein, Boys Like Girls, and Fall Out Boy to Manila. The demand for these shows highlighted Filipinos’ undying love for the genre, and Emo Night Manila has since become a cherished space where millennials can relive their teenage years and Gen-Z can experience the excitement of emo culture for the first time.

    Emo Night Manila is more than just a party; it’s a welcoming and accepting space where personal expression thrives. Guests are encouraged to dress as casually or as thematically as they wish, with the focus solely on enjoying the music and connecting with fellow fans. The event offers a rare opportunity in Manila to embrace alternative culture and fashion in an open and inclusive setting.

    Joining the festivities will be guest DJs Fahmy and Polina from Emo Night Bangkok (@emonightbkk), who will bring their unique flair to the turntables, adding an exciting international twist to the event.

    JESSIA ANNOUNCES NEW EP ‘OK WITH EVERY PART’ OUT JULY 19!

    July 12th, 2024 –  Canadian pop singer and songwriter JESSIA announces her new EP, ‘Okay With Every Part,’ out July 19th, and releases her new single, “Different People.” 

    Listen here: https://jessia.lnk.to/differentpeople

    It’s been a milestone year for JESSIA who bravely transitioned to releasing music
    independently after parting ways with her label. Taking her future into her own hands, she
    presents her first independent project, ‘Okay With Every Part’. The 6-track EP includes hit
    songs like “The Woman You Are”, “Care About Me”, and “He’s a 10”, as well as three brand new
    tracks.

    JESSIA opens up about her first independent project: “Losing a label and a relationship within
    the span of 3 months shook me. I felt shame, rejection, anger, frustration, but also freedom,
    adventure, passion, and resilience. As much as I didn’t want to, I had to learn to accept and
    move through these new obstacles. Each song on this project represents a pivotal moment in
    my journey to finding peace and confidence again. This EP represents me accepting the good
    and bad parts of life so that I can look back and say, I’m okay with every part.”

    Out today, “Different People”, one of the new tracks from the EP, is an emotionally resonant
    breakup anthem. “It’s about the no-contact stage of a breakup and all the intrusive thoughts
    that go along with it,” JESSIA explains of the relatable concept behind the song. “This song is
    for everyone resisting the urge to pick up the phone and text their ex. Instead of calling him, put
    this song on at full volume and go for a midnight drive.”
