Today, global superstar Dua Lipa has returned with โHoudiniโ โ the highly anticipated track introducing the beginning of a new chapter following her 2020 smash Future Nostalgia. The track is out today alongside its official music video, which you can watch here.
“Houdini” kickstarts the narrative thread that weaves its way through Duaโs upcoming project. Dua notes that โHoudini,โ โembodies that 4 a.m. feeling when the night is coming to a close and you’re a bit sweaty, but you just don’t want the party to end.โ The official music video, directed by Manu Cossu with cinematographer Andrรฉ Chemetoff, sees Dua post-rehearsal in a dance hall, revising her choreography under fluorescent lights. The lights reflect in the roomโs mirrors, creating an optical illusion as the energy begins to swell.
โThis track represents the most light and freeing parts of my singledom,โ says Dua. โโHoudiniโ is very tongue in cheek, exploring the idea of whether someone is really worth my while or if Iโll ghost them in the end. You never know where something may take you, thatโs the beauty of being open to whatever life throws your way. Iโm looking forward to sharing that feeling of defiant bliss with my fans.โ
“Houdini” was written byย Lipa, along withย Carolineย Ailin, Danny L. Harle, Tobiasย Jessoย Jr., and Tame Impalaโs Kevin Parker, a group who served as core collaborators throughout the project, and was produced by Parker and Harle. โA lot of this album was written in those joyous moments of absolute chaos and how I moved through the world with lightness and optimism of whatever the outcome may be,โ says Dua.

Sir Cameron Mackintosh has shared his enthusiasm for bringing the title to the Philippines. โIโm absolutely thrilled to be bringing my spectacular new production of Miss Saigon to Manila. Without a doubt, it is the best production of Saigon I have ever produced, with one of the most brilliant casts that have ever performed the show around the world.

Philippinesโ primetime โbidasโ Alden Richardsโ and Julia Montesโ highly-anticipated big screen event โFive Breakups and A Romanceโ is set to exceed estimates and continue to break the local movie industryโs slump when it opens in local cinemas nationwide on October 18.
โFive Breakups and A Romanceโ is directed by Irene Villamor (also known for her work in โMeet Me in St. Gallenโ that won the Best Film, Best Actor and Best Actress awards at FACINE, โSid and Ayaโ and โCamp Sawiโ). The very first collaboration between GMA Pictures, Cornerstone Studios, MYRIAD Corporation, Aldenโs multimedia company and distributed by Axinite Digicinema, the film also marks the first team up of Richards and Montes for the big screen.
An endearing romantic love story, โFive Breakups and A Romanceโ is a modern love story between Lance (Richards), a carefree fellow and Justine (Montes), career-centric woman, as they navigate to find the ideal midpoint between love and career. The film treads on the complexities of relationships in todayโs fast changing landscape, but when the unexpected comes, will Lance and Justine choose love over career? Will they choose the present over the future? How many times do they have to let go in order to find a way back into each otherโs lives? The unconventional pairing of the lead actors in the movie also pushes their talents tackling fresh characters and more mature roles as they deal with scenes (as teased on the trailer) theyโve never done on the big screen before.
It’s a date on October 18 only at the cinemas when โFive Breakups and A Romanceโ opens in cinemas nationwide.
Itโs the voice. Itโs the songs. And itโs definitely the overall contributions to the great OPM Songbook that makes an artist great, and span decades with the timeless adoration and respect by his/her fellow peers and audiences worldwide.
Joey G. is definitely one of those artists.
A songwriter/singer/performer who has endeared himself and his body of work to music fans through the decadesโฆ it is simply a remarkable feat that he is still at itโฆ and shows no signs of slowing down, nor chooses to stop and smell the proverbial roses.
Which is why concert production outfit Random Minds is proud to announce that this November 5th, fans will be able to enjoy a full night of both reminiscing and appreciating Joey Gโs extensive repertoire with its second installment of the Random Hits Live series at the famed New Frontier Theater at the Araneta Center, Cubao.
Dubbed Joey G. Side Ko Langโฆlongtime followers can expect nothing but the absolute best from the celebrated performer, whose uncanny ability to fuse the best in pop/rock/adult contemporary music with painfully sincere lyricism has elevated his status to that of legendary in the country. With his too-many-to-count smash hits with his former outfit Side A (ditties like โForevermore,โ โSo Many Questionsโ โSet You Freeโ and โHold On,โ to name a very select fewโฆ) to his melodically enthralling recent releases like 2021โs โDeep Insideโ and this yearโs โLetting You Go,โ it is without a doubt that this will truly be one magical evening for fans of all ages.
Also joining Joey G. is fellow hit-maker Juris, who is slated to add even more enchanting songs that everyone will surely sing-along-to and appreciate.
โRandom Hits Live is a series of shows featuring both local and international acts wherein audiences can enjoy both a host of hit songs and new music from their favorite artists,โ says Random Mindsโ main man Allan Villegas.
โOur first installment featured Korean group Dreamcatcher, so we figured it was only natural that we also celebrate our very own legendary talents like Joey G. And as for Side Ko Langโฆ we also plan to bring the show out on tour outside of Manila,โ shares Villegas.
Tickets are already on sale and they are going fast, so head-on over to www.ticketnet.com.ph to purchase your tickets online or go to any TicketNet outlet nationwide. Thereโs also a limited number of VIP Meet nโ Greet passes available exclusively through https://www.randommindsinc.com/.

Karpos proudly welcomes the first 12 artists coming home to Wanderland

Itโs time to meet your neighbors.
Jack Johnson is the first headliner of Wanderland 2024
Wave 1 is starting off with a banger as American singer-songwriter Jack Johnson makes his Philippine debut at Wanderland Music & Arts Festival. Aside from creating poetic music and folk pop anthems, Jack is also an environmental rights activist who spearheads sustainability campaigns on ocean healthโa true inspiration for the festivalโs journey towards sustainability.
With his classic songs Better Together, Banana Pancakes, and Sunsets For Somebody Else, it is a must to experience live the warmth and heartfelt tunes of Jack Johnson.
Bringing home to the Wanderland stage
If music can feel like home, these artists are up on the list.
Aussie-born, Berlin-based band Parcels will be bringing your living room party and patio dinner playlists to life with their signature live dance music experience. Novo Amor (Ali Meredith-Lacey), a Welsh multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter, will make his much-awaited visit to perform music reminiscent of our safe space at home. Meanwhile, US-based RnB singer-songwriter, Jeff Bernat, armed with elements of soul and pop is bound to set the mood high for his Filipino homies.
Next-door wonders
When it comes to quality sound and a good time, we cannot leave out what our next-door friends have to offer. We have Beenzino, a K-Hiphop and rap artist, ้ฒ็ซฏๅธๆฉ (CLOUDRIVER), a lauded guitarist and singer from Taiwan, and Filipino-Aussie sensation grentperez.
Homegrown talents
One thing about Wanderland is that it will never be short of homegrown acts. Showcasing the best of the countryโs indie music scene is just the festivalโs thing.
Starting off with Paolo Sandejas, the countryโs freshest neo-soul act with addictive melodies laced with indie-pop and alt-rock vibes. Eccentric to the eyes and good on the ears is Ena Mori, who artistically bridges Filipino and Japanese genres in her music. Bicolโs best kept secret, dwta, will be enchanting the crowd with songs purely and beautifully sung in Bicolano. Along with them is the band bird., who explores songs that narrate the melancholic life of a typical Filipino teenager, almost akin to US midwestern emo. And finally, accidental supergroup Party Pace, with a hodge-podge of members from various household names in the local scene (IVOS, Sandwich, Chicosci), completes the Wave 1 lineup.

Dunkin’ celebrates its 800th store today by introducing 13 new locations in chosen cities across the country.
While reaching this milestone is all about getting to know more customers, it also shows how much of a presence Dunkin’ has gained among Filipinos. You must be curious as to why the brand appeals to us so strongly and remains both continuously fresh.
The name of the event, “a baker’s dozen,” may hold the key to the solution. The traditional practice, which required a group of 13 or a dozen plus one, was designed to guarantee that clients receive what they paid for. It served as a defense against fines for using insufficient weights and measures. Customers were also made aware of this lovely and straightforward act.
For many years, Dunkin’ Philippines has delighted consumers of all types with a wide selection of doughnuts. Consider the well-known and native Choco Butternut, which is a phenomenon in and of itself. There have been countless additional favorites over the years, from traditional flavors and obsessions like the Boston Kreme to more sophisticated luxury choices. The brand has also adopted a variety of sizes and shapes, such as munchkins, small donuts, sticks, and twists, as well as filled and sprinkled variations. With their imaginative and seemingly limitless selections of cost-effective bundles and combos, it plays well when it comes to putting all of these items together as a pasalubong.
While Dunkin’ Donuts changed its name to Dunkin’ in recent years, it never truly got rid of the former name. It suddenly understood that there was a ton more to give. It’s not just donuts, after all. Along with a huge selection of premium non-coffee drinks that are delicious yet reasonably priced, Dunkin’ is renowned for their unique mixes of brewed coffee and espresso. With their savory selections, it has also become a go-to spot for a quick, grab-and-go dinner.
Celebrate with Zephanie and I Belong to the Zoo with an unforgettable concert at 6 pm at the Laoag Plaza.
There is always room for improvement in everything Dunkin’ Philippines does. The pasalubong ng bayan of generations, that’s what keeps it interesting and makes the trip worthwhile. There isn’t anything like Dunkin’ in the Philippines, or perhaps the entire world.
Dunkin’ launched a Baker’s Dozen promotion where consumers get a FREE Premium donut with every purchase of any Dozen Bundle, allowing them to join the rest of the country in this historic celebration. This is only available today from 11 am to 6 pm at a few Dunkin’ locations across the country. Make sure to find this delicacy at the Dunkin’ location closest to you!
