    ABOUT TORI KELLY

    Using her powerful voice and buoyant spirit, Tori Kelly has become one of music’s brightest stars. Since her emergence in the 2010s, she’s racked up Platinum certifications and hundreds of millions of streams, lending her vocal talents to the Sing series, and collaborating with a diverse breadth of artists like Justin Bieber, Jacob Collier, Jon Batiste, and Illenium. With her first full-length on Epic Records, TORI., the California-born two-time Grammy winner is primed to show off her wide range of musical influences and personal inspirations, weaving together arresting grooves, unrelenting movement, and her love of Y2K-era pop and R&B.

    Kelly gave listeners a preview of her new direction on tori, the sleek 2023 EP that featured the skittering, Timbaland-echoing “cut” and the glittery vocal showcase “missin u.” On TORI., she expands on that release’s promise in a way that warrants its all-caps, full- statement title, bringing together sounds from the late ’90s and early ’00s in creative, exciting ways that put perpetual motion at the forefront—with the throughline being Kelly’s strong, versatile voice. “I love and grew up with all these different sounds,” she says, “And now I can put my own spin on these things that I’ve been inspired by.”

    TORI. is Kelly’s first full-length since 2019’s Inspired by True Events, a cathartic album that led to the singer-songwriter experiencing an artistic breakthrough. “Inspired by True Events was very acoustic-feeling—a lot of live instruments, very heartfelt lyrics,” Kelly recalls. “I’d gone through a lot personally, and that’s just what came out of my soul.” Releasing it, she says, “felt so healing” and helped her process her emotions in a way that prepared her to dig into the rest of her artistic self.

    Kelly’s music has touched millions around the world, and with TORI. she opens herself up fully, bringing together big-chorus singalongs, throwback beats, and honest lyrics in a way that paints a striking, vibrant portrait. The album showcases all of the different musical sides of the artist that she has not shared with the world before, a truly definitive statement that brings all of the unique layers of her artistry together in concert.

    “This feels like a self-titled moment,” she says. “I am ready to say, ‘This is who I am.’”

    About Dua Lipa:

    3x GRAMMY and 7x BRIT Award-winning global pop powerhouse Dua Lipa continues to be one of pop music’s leading forces with the release of her third album, Radical Optimism. Upon release, the album went straight to No. 1 in 11 countries, including the UK where it became the biggest album debut from a UK artist in 2024 and garnered the highest week-one sales from a UK female artist since 2021. In the US, the album debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart and No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart, marking Dua’s biggest sales week yet. The New York Times named it a Critic’s Pick and hailed it as “an album of nonstop ear candy,” along with Variety, who declared it “a joyous blast of pop savvy,” The New Yorker, who praised, “the instrumentation is a gleaming and impenetrable expanse, and the main attraction is Lipa,” and Vogue, who raved it is “a summery, self-assured slice of pop brilliance…[and] catchy as hell.”

    Following its release in 2020, Dua’s certified platinum sophomore album Future Nostalgia became the longest-running top 10 album by a female artist on the Billboard 200 in 2021. The GRAMMY Award-winning album spawned multiple worldwide hit singles, with “Levitating” earning certified diamond status and the title of Billboard’s No. 1 Hot 100 Song of 2021.

    Dua has found superstar status on stage and off, thanks to her many passions outside of music. 2022 saw Dua launch Service95, a global style, culture, and society editorial platform that now comprises a weekly newsletter, the Service95 book club, and the Dua Lipa: At Your Service podcast, which has been lauded by The Sunday Times and The Guardian and was named one of the Best Podcasts of 2022 by Spotify. Having graced every major fashion magazine worldwide from Vogue and Elle to W and Dazed, Dua added “designer” to her resume in 2023 when she co-designed Versace’s “La Vacanza” collection alongside Donatella Versace herself, which Vogue deemed “the hottest collaboration of the summer.”

    Dua’s eponymous 2017 debut album is certified platinum, spawned six platinum tracks, and made her the first female artist in BRIT Awards history to pick up five nominations in a single year. Dua has a total of 10 GRAMMY nominations, with three wins for Best Pop Vocal Album, Best New Artist, and Best Dance Recording. Additionally, she earned nominations at the Golden Globes and Critics Choice Awards for her hit song “Dance The Night” from the box office sensation Barbie. Across platforms globally, she has amassed over 42 billion streams and holds the record for being the first female artist to have two albums with over 10 billion streams each on Spotify.

  • Gel Aquino unveils single about personal loss “Kinakaya”

    Gel Aquino unveils single about personal loss “Kinakaya”

    Singer-songwriter Gel Aquino will release her deeply personal and moving single, “Kinakaya,” under GMA Music. The song, which taps into the experience of heartbreak and loss, draws inspiration from Aquino’s journey through grief and healing.

    Aquino explains that “Kinakaya” is a tribute to those who have suffered the pain of being left behind by loved ones. “My inspiration is those who were hurt by love and those who were left behind by their loved ones. Those broken-hearted who experienced being left behind. ‘Yung mga kailangang bumitaw sa isang relasyon kaya ngayon kinakaya nila ang pag-mo-move on na wala na ang taong mahal nila. ‘Yun ang inspiration nito,” she shared.

    The song was born during a particularly challenging time in Aquino’s life. “Sinulat ko ito noong time na active ako magsulat at mag-compose ng kanta. Noong time din na ‘to broken hearted ako and very depressed, pandemic noon tapos nawala na ‘yung lola ko. Hindi ko nalaman agad na nawala na pala siya, two months later ko na nalaman. So para din ito sa lola ko at sa mga taong nakaranas na iwan ng mahal nila,” she recalled.

    The loss of her grandmother served as a significant catalyst for the song’s creation. “Independent ako and hindi ako masyadong nakikipag-communicate sa mga kamag-anak ko. Then nakita ko na lang nag-message sila na wala na ang lola ko. Kaya pala ‘nung mga buwan na ‘yun lagi kong napapanaginipan ang lola ko. Kaya nasulat ko ang kantang ito para sa lola ko na kinakaya ko ang sakit na wala na siya. Hindi man lang kami nagkita bago siya mamatay.”

    Aquino hopes that “Kinakaya” will offer solace and strength to listeners facing their own struggles. “The message of the song is that we need to endure the pain that we feel from a person who left us. Kailangan natin ng time para makapag-heal and ‘wag tayong mawawalan ng pag-asa at isipin na itong pain na ito ay wala nang katapusan. Darating ang panahon na sasaya ka ulit at magiging mas malakas ka. You can transform yourself to be a better person then.”

    “Kinakaya” will be available on digital platforms beginning May 26.

    Anne-Marie Live in Manila
    Anne-Marie

    About Anne-Marie

    Anne-Marie, whose unique, striking voice first hit the music radar when she guested on tracks by Rudimental and scored a number one hit as the main vocalist on Clean Bandit’s worldwide number one single, Rockabye. A former three-time world Karate champion, Anne-Marie’s self-effacing attitude and anthemic, highly personal songs about being cheated on, body issues and gender free love made an extraordinary connection with millions of fans. Her first solo album, Speak Your Mind – rammed with tracks to dance, laugh and cry to – was the biggest debut album of 2018 in the UK and it swiftly propelled her into a whole new level of celebrity – as a style icon, agony aunt and a woman fearless enough to tell the truth through exceptional tunes.

    With no connections in the music business, and no appearance on reality television, the girl who cut her
    teeth in small West End roles and performing with a soul covers band in her hometown of East Tilbury, Essex, Anne-Marie – whose fans include Ed Sheeran and Marshmello – admits nothing had prepared her for the onslaught of fame.

    Anne-Marie’s worldwide appeal is nothing short of monumental. A world-class vocalist who has five
    UK Top 10’s under her wings, her unfiltered, honest approach has seen her resonate with fans across the world ever since she entered the music scene in 2015. She’s one of those rare breeds of artist that’s so relatable, her music makes you feel like you’re conversing with your best mate, especially in relationship drama: “We all go through heartbreak at some point and it’s important to talk about it. Recognise a bad relationship but also recognize that these feelings of heartbreak don’t last forever and that you’re not alone in what you go through.”

    Ben&Ben leads heartwarming video campaign for Robinsons Malls, featuring the hit anthem “Araw-Araw”

    Ben&Ben, in partnership with Robinsons Malls, has launched a video campaign to mark the grand opening of Liwanag House, the newest concept store.

    SEE ALSO: Ben&Ben to launch new concept store ‘Liwanag House’ with a concert at Robinsons Galleria

    Set to the uplifting tune of Ben&Ben’s hit song “Araw-Araw,” the video follows the award-winning band members as they explore the various corners of the mall while experiencing love, joy, and happiness every day within the familiar comforts of #OurFavoritePlace.

    From indulging in delicious meals to hitting the shops for retail therapy, the campaign highlights the diverse offerings that make Robinsons Malls the perfect place to create memorable everyday moments.
    Robinsons Galleria is currently the homebase of Liwanag House, where the nine-piece act plans to hold special activities and personalized experiences for their fanbase, as well as provide special launches for exclusive releases and limited-edition merch.

  • Metal Mayhem: Arch Enemy’s Electrifying Deceivers Asia Tour Rocks Manila

    Metal Mayhem: Arch Enemy’s Electrifying Deceivers Asia Tour Rocks Manila

    The horns were up when Arch Enemy’s Deceivers Asia Tour 2024 was here in Manila and led the metal fans in their usual exploration of introspective intense music and treated the fans to an electrifying performance.

    The Swedish-based death metal band was on the stage at SM North Skydome last May 15, 2024, presented by PULP Live World, coming back to the country after Summer Slam 12: The Apostles in 2012.

    Arch Enemy
    Arch Enemy

    Arch Enemy delivered a masterclass in metal, showcasing their technical prowess and tight musicianship. Engaging with the audience between songs, vocalist Alissa White-Gluz fostered a sense of camaraderie, igniting an electric atmosphere that reverberated throughout the venue with guitarists Michael Amott and Jeff Loomis, bassist Sharlee D’Angelo, and drummer Daniel Erlandsson.

    “Thank you for the warm welcome Manila!” Alissa said, noting it was her first time performing in the country since taking over as Arch Enemy’s vocalist. She stood out with her dynamic stage presence, her blue hair flying as she headbanged in sync with the relentless energy of the music. Her commanding presence added extra intensity to an already unforgettable performance. Against a backdrop of pulsating lights and dynamic visuals, Arch Enemy unleashed a setlist of fan favorites, including iconic tracks like “Nemesis,” “War Eternal,” and “The Eagle Flies Alone,” each song met with thunderous applause and fervent enthusiasm.

    As the band took command of the stage, the Filipino crowd erupted into a frenzy of headbanging and occasional mosh pits, particularly during the intense rhythm of “Handshake with Hell.” Feeding off the raw intensity of the music, fans engaged in this adrenaline-fueled tradition, further amplifying the energy of the night. While it may look like an aggressive form of musical expression, it’s always been noted that these mosh pits have always been done tastefully, as the fans respect each other and the people who join in. They pick up if someone falls, they carry the ones who want to be thrown around, and they don’t force anyone who doesn’t want to join.

    As the night reached its peak, the band delivered an encore that left the audience clamoring for more, cementing their status as metal icons. They also promised their fans that they would come back to the country soon and commended how loud and enthusiastic the fans were, as the usual dose of the Filipino concert crowd.

  • World-class performances help put BICOL LOCO FESTIVAL on the global tourism map

    World-class performances help put BICOL LOCO FESTIVAL on the global tourism map

    All roads led to Albay from May 3 to 5 as fans from all over the Philippines arrived in droves to witness and, in many cases, participate in THE BICOL LOCO FESTIVAL.

    A diverse crowd of over 500,000 attendees from the Bicol Region and beyond came to enjoy everything the three-day event offered—hot-air balloons, aerobatics, skydiving events, drone shows, concerts, and raffles.

    The festive atmosphere prompted BICOL LOCO organizers to seriously consider making the festival an annual event. The ultimate dream is to extend beyond once a year and be year- round, similar to the hot-air balloon experience in Cappadocia, Turkey, which attracts tourists worldwide.

    An exhilarating blend of adventure and music, THE BICOL LOCO FESTIVAL is filled with a plethora of memorable events that it wasn’t easy to recall a single moment since the whole festival is designed to have general mass appeal and make everything a highlight. The hot-air balloons framed against the magnificent Mayon Volcano sparked adventure and childlike wonder. The top performances of Sarah Geronimo, Bamboo, Jericho Rosales, and Ely Buendia electrified the crowd and transformed the concerts into mass sing-alongs.

    As the event host, Robi Domingo was also well-received by the appreciative audience.

    During the first concert night, the polished performances as individuals and as a duet brought the house down. Apl.de.ap’s surprise appearance was also a welcome treat. Apl’s impromptu jamming with Bamboo and Sarah G. had the crowd rapping along ‘Filipino, Filipino.’ The scene was like a reunion of The Voice judges.

    And then there’s Bicol native Jericho Rosales, who brought pride among Bicolanos. When he
    declared his unabashed love for the region and its people due to his Bicolano roots, the crowd went wild.

    Jericho headlined the second night along with Ely Buendia, evoking waves of nostalgia, with the audience enthusiastically singing along to his popular hits.

    The festival’s raffle also brought tears to many eyes, especially the heart-rending stories of four grand prize winners who each won a house and lot unit worth P1.5 million.

    Did THE BICOL LOCO FESTIVAL succeed in promoting the Bicol province, its tourism, and its culture? The answer is a resounding YES! The tremendous response undoubtedly placed the region on the global tourism map.

    For festival organizers, BICOL LOCO achieved more than simply promoting a destination; it
    showcased the region’s natural beauty, vibrant local communities, and rich culture and history.


    The social media exposure served as a virtual gateway for potential visitors, immersing them in Bicol’s beauty and promising travel experiences. In his message to fellow Bicolanos, Ako Bicol party-list Rep. Zaldy Co said the enthusiasm of attendees turned the inaugural BICOL LOCO festival into a remarkable celebration of unity for everyone in the entire Bicol region.

    “Remember that Bicol Loco is also an opportunity to create jobs and livelihood among our people. Let’s approach the future with the spirit of adventure that the festival evokes—bright and colorful, festive and musical,” he concluded.

    About the Bicol Region

    As one of the most vibrant regions in the Philippines, Bicol is known for its distinctive culture, natural beauty, and culinary delights. Located in the southeastern part of Luzon, it consists of six provinces: Albay, Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, Catanduanes, Masbate, and Sorsogon.

    The region has a rich cultural heritage, with festivities like the Magayon Festival in Albay,
    celebrating the legend of Mayon Volcano, and the Peñafrancia Fiesta in Naga City, one of the
    largest Marian festivals in Asia that draws pilgrims and tourists alike.

    Bicol is also known for its Bicolano cuisine distinguished by its generous use of chili and coconut milk, making dishes distinctively spicy and creamy particularly in popular dishes like “Bicol Express,” a spicy pork stew, and “laing,” a dish made from taro leaves cooked in coconut milk.

    The region’s varied terrain and rich marine biodiversity also make it a perfect destination for nature lovers and adventure seekers.
