    Step into Dua Lipa’s Radical Optimism Experience in Glorietta!

    dua lipa radical optimism experience glorietta

    Award-winning global popstar Dua Lipa has finally released her third album Radical Optimism, and it’s been getting critical acclaim ever since. Now, Filipino fans can enjoy the album on a whole new level this coming weekend with an interactive Radical Optimism Pop-Up happening at the Glorietta Activity Center.

    A Dance-inducing Masterpiece

    Radical Optimism makes it known early on just what type of album it is with the addicting “End Of An Era,” high-energy “Training Season,” and euphoric, club-ready “Houdini.” With this album, fans get eleven songs that can bring out anyone’s urge to groove and get lost in the music.

    Dua herself describes Radical Optimism as “psychedelic pop,” noting that “there are musical breaks and a mix of different sounds, and when you listen to it with your eyes closed, it opens up a very visual world.”

    The album was inspired by Dua’s own self-discovery and speaks to the pure joy and happiness of having clarity in situations that once seemed impossible to face. It’s a musical representation of how hard goodbyes and vulnerable beginnings can become milestones once you choose to see the brighter side of things. “It struck me – the idea of going through chaos gracefully and feeling like you can weather any storm,” she shared.

    Rolling Stone has called this album “pop bliss,” while highlighting how it’s “uniquely and

    utterly Dua Lipa: confident dance pop full of witty Instagram-caption-ready one-liners.”

    Dua also recently returned to Saturday Night Live, where she was both the host and the musical guest for the night. She gave an electrifying version of “Illusion,” followed by a passionate performance of “Happy For You.”

    An Experiential Pop-Up

    Can’t get enough of the album? Experience it like never before with this week’s Radical Optimism event. This unique and immersive pop-up is set to bring all of Dua’s songs to life – to the point where dancing is the only option! Fans can go and see it for themselves when they visit the Glorietta Activity Center from May 17 to 19, anytime between 10 AM and 9 PM. They’ll be treated to themed photobooths, personalized memorabilia, and more!

    Exciting things are happening for Dua, as she recently announced the first run of tour dates in support of Radical Optimism with shows in Berlin, Pula, and Nimes taking place in June. In addition, Dua will make her Pyramid Stage debut as the Friday night headliner at this year’s Glastonbury Festival on June 28th.

    This pop powerhouse shows no signs of slowing down, and everyone’s excited to see even more performances and visuals for her new songs in the coming weeks.

  • Tim Atlas drops new single “Stardust”

    Tim Atlas drops new single “Stardust”

    DEBUT ALBUM ‘ENCHANTÉ’ DUE OUT 31 MAY

    Filipino-American singer-songwriter and producer Tim Atlas, who boldly blends elements of R&B, neo-soul, alternative, and bedroom pop, releases his new single “Stardust” off his upcoming debut album, ‘Enchanté’, slated for release on May 31 via Nettwerk.

    “Stardust”, written and recorded during a trip to Los Angeles, balances ethereal keys atop a distinct beat.

    His voice echoes, “Like stardust falling out in the sky, that’s what it feels like when you’re mine.”
    “Whenever I go back to Los Angeles, my music becomes a little more sunshiny and California poppy,” Tim
    admits. “It was a different interpretation. We took a psychedelic approach, and we were thinking about David Bowie.”


    The forthcoming debut ‘Enchanté’, which includes previous releases “Le Soir”, and “Matinee” and some
    unheard gems, incorporates themes of love, insecurity, anxiety, trust, and more. Songs from the album have accumulated millions of streams, fueling anticipation among Tim’s loyal fanbase, with Asian countries comprising the majority of his top 20 streaming countries worldwide, including the Philippines at #2, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Singapore.


    “With every project I put out, I try to show a little more of myself. Enchanté is basically a reintroduction to me as a human and as an artist. For me, this record represents the different corners of my music that I haven’t showcased,” says Atlas.


    This fall, Tim is set to hit the road again, this time opening for LA-based indie pop duo slenderbodies. On
    tour, Tim has supported artists such as Jungle Giants, Magic City Hippies, and Goldroom, while his avid fan base has helped him garner over 150 million streams to date.

  • Talented singer Alisah Bonaobra treats each day as a miracle

    Talented singer Alisah Bonaobra treats each day as a miracle

    People who have witnessed miracles in their lives say that miracles happen when you have faith and persevere. Alisah Bonaobra can attest to this, saying that her faith in God combined with her perseverance in being a singer (competing in many singing contests at an early age so that she can give the cash prizes she won to her parents, who are hardworking sidewalk vendors), are the reasons why she has received what she considers miracles in her life. 

    Today, Alisah is residing in America, doing several singing engagements in various US locations as well as other parts of the world, and has achieved numerous accomplishments. She is always thankful for these blessings. “Despite the difficulties I had to face in life, God is always by my side to shower me with miracles. I offer and always lift everything to HIM,” said the rising young talent of US-based RJA Productions, LLC. 

    Regarding miracles, the song “Do You Have A Miracle For Me” written by renowned songwriter Cecile Azarcon-Inocentes, which was interpreted by Alisah and released through RJA Productions, LLC, was hailed as “Inspirational Song Of The Year” at the recent 14th PMPC Star Awards for Music. 

    In an interview, Alisah said, “I was elated when my manager, Tita Rosabella, told me that we won an award at the 14th PMPC Star Awards for Music. I was unaware that ‘Do You Have A Miracle For Me’ was even nominated. Being a singer who was given the honor to interpret an inspirational song by esteemed composer Ms. Cecile Azarcon-Inocentes was already a blessing for me. And when the song that I interpreted was recognized by the PMPC, it was another blessing, which has given me more motivation to better myself and to always have a grateful disposition. I dedicate this award to all the amazing people behind ‘Do You Have A Miracle For Me’.” 

    The PMPC award is the latest addition to the accomplished singer’s various achievements.


    Ever since she arrived in America, Alisah has performed in many singing engagements there. She was one of the guest performers of singing sensation Gigi Delana when she had a show in San Francisco, USA. Alisah was able to perform in other countries as well, the most recent was her performance at an event in Lamilux, Germany last year, June 24, and in Guam last February. She will also be releasing her new single entitled “Your Love” this month.

    This June, Alisah along with fellow artist Bryan Termulo will have a Canada tour produced by RJA Productions, LLC called “Royalty of Melody” on the following dates: June 7 – Calgary, Alberta; June 8 – Grande Prairie, Alberta; June 28 – Saskatoon, Saskatchewan; and June 29 – Dawson Creek, British Columbia. This coming July 20, she will have a concert called “Emerge” also produced by RJA Productions, LLC, this time with R&B Prince, Jay R, and other guest artists who are based in America. And on October this year, Alisah will be having a solo concert in San Francisco, USA.

    With regard to her life in the US, Alisa shared, “Life abroad is really different from the Philippines. I’m still adjusting with the language and way of living since I just started living on my own. But every day, there are miracles happening and God continues to guide me and direct me to good people who can help me and who I can help as well. As preparation for my singing engagements, I make it a point to stay fit and healthy, and sleep on time. I do an hour of vocalization every day and at least two hours for vocal rehearsal of songs as well as studying new songs.” 

    “Aside from my singing career, I’ve been volunteering at the East Bay SPCA Feline Department. I’m part of the English Choir during Sunday at St. Raymond’s Church, and I also give voice lessons,” she added.

    The hardworking artist of RJA Productions, LLC, ended the interview with a heartfelt message to her family, friends, and fans: “Thank you so much for always believing in me. Without your support, I will not be able to achieve the things that I have right now. Please continue to listen and share all my music in all digital platforms worldwide. Always take care and love you all!”

    Cameron Diaz is BACK IN ACTION with Jamie Foxx on Netflix

    Cameron Diaz is making her acting comeback for the first time in almost a decade, and to celebrate, Netflix has released some first-look photoa from the upcoming film, “Back in Action” with Oscar winner, Jamie Foxx. You can’t say that Netflix doesn’t find ways to get big names to be in movies that don’t do anything memorable.

    Courtesy of Netflix

    Jamie: “A lot of people don’t know this, but after Cameron and I did Any Given Sunday and Annie together, we became friends in real life — and I’ve been begging her to come play with me again. We all know there’s just something about her…”

    Cameron: “I couldn’t have asked for a better partner, on-screen and off.”

    Courtesy of Netflix

    Emily (Diaz) and Matt (Foxx) are a couple who find themselves forced back into the world of espionage after their cover is broken years after putting up their careers as CIA operatives. Back in Action is directed by Seth Gordon and follows the story of Emily and Matt. This will be Diaz’s first step back into acting since she announced her retirement from the art in 2018, and the film will be available on Netflix on November 15th. Additionally starring in the film are Glenn Close, Kyle Chandler, Andrew Scott, and Jamie Demetriou.

  • Bradley Simpson shares new single “Picasso”

    Bradley Simpson shares new single “Picasso”

    The debut solo single of Bradley Simpson, ‘Cry At The Moon’, occupied a rarely explored sweet spot between styles: classic ‘70s Americana with a surging intensity that echoes the swaggering spirit of the indie-rock greats, but also with the contemporary, pop-tinged edge that can only come from an artist who has headlined London’s 20,000 capacity O2 arena on multiple occasions.

    From that compelling introduction, Bradley now powers into the release of his new single ‘Picasso’.

    Produced by the two-time Grammy nominee BOOTS (Beyoncé), with a dreamy undercurrent of ‘60s psychedelia and wonky bedroom pop, ‘Picasso’ is symbolic of what Bradley Simpson does so well: creating songs with an instant appeal, yet with lyrical nuances that provide a relatability for people to forge a deeper connection with. Its striking lyric “turning torture into art” commands attention and inspires deeper investigation of the narrative behind it.

    Bradley says, “‘Picasso’ is about one of those toxic loves that you know is bad for you, but something is amazing about it that keeps you coming back. You always hope that things will turn out for the best, so you keep giving chances when maybe in hindsight you should’ve stopped early doors. You also come across people who can dress-up those hardships as part of romance. That song allowed me to exorcise those experiences and move past them.”

    ‘Picasso’ and ‘Cry At The Moon’ set a high watermark for more to come from Bradley Simpson. Many of his upcoming songs were written in the comfortable confines of his home studio: a converted loft space accessible only by a rickety ladder. Recording sessions were similarly modest, with the grimy, graffiti-clad exterior of New York’s Flux Studios opening to reveal a space steeped in history, its collection of vintage gear and stale cigarette haze the place where The Strokes recorded their classic debut ‘Is This It’.

    But while the locations were unassuming, his key collaborators were top-tier. In addition to super producer BOOTS, Bradley spent much of the process writing with kindred spirits in the shape of Andrew Wells (YUNGBLUD, Halsey) and Anthony Rossomando (Liam Gallagher, and a founder member of Dirty Pretty Things with Carl Barât). They shared his admiration for Queens of the Stone Age, The Raconteurs, Them Crooked Vultures, and The Black Keys which helped to unlock the creative process, while Bradley’s lyrics became intimate, diaristic snapshots of intensely personal experiences rich with precise details that can only be written after they’ve been lived through.

    Bradley Simpson’s “Picasso” is out now on all digital music platforms worldwide via Sony Music Entertainment.

    About the choirs

    The Hong Kong Male Voice Choir
    The choir was started in 1978 by a small group of expats in Hong Kong and now they have some 70 members from a dozen different nations. Over the years they have performed on conventional and unconventional stages at home and overseas. They are an entirely amateur group and many of their performances are for charity. They frequently perform in Hong Kong and travel as often as they can to sing in places in the Asia region such as Thailand, the Philippines, China and Vietnam. They have also performed at prestigious places and events such as the Festival of male Choirs at the Albert Hall in London and Sydney Opera House.

    The John Van Der Steen Male Voice Choir
    They are an all male non-professional choir bound together by their common passion for choral music.

    The Far Eastern University Chorale
    The Far Eastern University Chorale is the premier and official choir of Far Eastern University (FEU) under the FEU Center for the Arts (FCA). It was revived in 2004, and ever since then, the group has joined and won in several chorale competitions, performed in various television programs, and exhibited beautiful performances inside and outside the University. This 2024, Mr. Roijin G. Suarez is the current artistic director and conductor of the group as he will guide the group and hone their skills of music with his knowledge as they become one of the best choirs in the Philippines following his predecessor, Mr. Karl Angelo Tangco. 

    British School Manila Senior Chorus
    Music is a universal language that transcends time, barriers, and individuals. It unites people of varied interest and backgrounds. British School Manila Senior Chorus also known as ASA Senior Pop Choir is initially formed by eight (8) young ladies from different nationalities with the passion to express themselves through music. Their love for music rippled in the school campus and the group gained more members. They are now a group of seventeen hopeful and feminine voices. Each of the members have learned more than just singing skills, and they were able to take the opportunity to experience friendships and what it means to be a team.

    Some might remember him as the quirky, fun, and driven entrepreneur from his viral stint on the Shark Tank-like reality show called “The Final Pitch,” where he won the grand prize of millions of pesos in investment from the likes of AirAsia Philippines for his tech start-up in 2018, being featured in the likes of Esquire and Tech in Asia for his journey as the golden boy of the startup community in the Philippines. Shortly after tinkering in the business world though, Geoff has decided to pivot back to his roots as he has been quietly crafting his musical identity.

    While many may see this shift into music as sudden, Geoff’s journey has been a gradual evolution through the years, Geoff has already prepared himself as a songwriter and producer with his collaboration with other musicians and even blended his expertise in tech as he released the first NFT-music single in Asia back in 2020 under an independent record label founded by him and his peers in college.

    His knack for creating captivating music content on platforms like Soundcloud and YouTube back when he was in his teens also earned him a dedicated following with millions of streams racked up long before his official debut this year. With an educational background in Music Production from De La Salle-College of St. Benilde, Geoff’s musical journey has been years in the making. Now he’s ready to unveil his latest single inspired by his favorite Latin-American singer-songwriter Omar Apollo: “Killing Me”, a sultry fusion of alternative rock sung in both English and Spanish to bring listeners through a psychedelic sonic experience.

    Geoff has also been busy building his musical team, sourcing only from the best in the industry to help him kickstart his career in the Philippines as a lead singer: “(I’m) blessed and stoked to be allowed to work with some of the best in the local industry today.” He proudly mentions the track was mixed and engineered by Nik Amarnani, who also worked on Juan Karlos’ mega-hit: “Ere”.

    In addition to “Killing Me”, Geoff has big plans for the future of his music. Drawing inspiration from his time residing and traveling around in Europe, he’s set to introduce an entire genre to his audience in the coming months. With his diverse range of influences and experiences, Geoff is poised to push the boundaries of the current music landscape in the Philippines. Stay tuned for more bops and surprises from this rising star as he continues to captivate audiences with his unique sound and talent. “Killing Me” by Geoff Mabasa will be available to listeners on all music platforms starting May 10 at midnight!
