Cabanatuan City’s polaris. is back with a song that feels like a late-night thought you can’t quite shake. Their new single, “Isip,” arrived on September 24, 2026, and it’s one of their most intimate tracks yet, a dreamy, nostalgic piece about loving someone from a distance and still holding on.
The song sits comfortably in that space between OPM, indie pop, and alternative pop. It’s soft around the edges but honest at the center. “Isip” captures the quiet ache of wanting someone who may never fully be yours. You know it might never become “tayo,” but that doesn’t stop you from keeping them close in your mind, or from being willing to cross whatever distance it takes just to find your way back to them.
Formed in early 2020, polaris. has always drawn from a wide mix of sounds: pop, funk, alternative rock, disco, and blues. Their influences stretch from Queen and The Beatles to Filipino favorites like Rivermaya, Eraserheads, P.O.T, and VST & Company. What sets them apart is how they balance solid musicianship with sharp, relatable songwriting. With “Isip,” they’re leaning into a more personal and emotional side of that sound, something that feels made for anyone who’s ever loved someone from afar and still chosen hope.
“Isip” is out now on all major streaming platforms. Give it a listen, add it to your playlist, and maybe send it to the person who gets it. Sometimes a song just knows how to say what you’ve been carrying.
