  • SB19’s PABLO opens 2024 with genre-blurring single “DETERMINADO”

    SB19’s PABLO opens 2024 with genre-blurring single “DETERMINADO”

    SB19’s PABLO is back with another bop! Blending hip-hop with rock music influences, the prolific songwriter/producer teams up with his brother Josue on this astounding new jam.

    Filipino singer-songwriter/producer Pablo blurs the line between hip-hop and rock on the new single “DETERMINADO,” his first offering this year under Sony Music Entertainment.

    Produced by his brother Josue, the genre-averse track pushes experimentation as far as it can go while retaining the La Luna act’s distinct qualities as an artist who is comfortable in his own identity and sonic direction.

    Speaking highly of his favorite collaborator, PABLO praised Josue for infusing game-changing ideas during the incubation period of the track and allowing him to shine with a solid production style that doesn’t necessarily have to be confined to trends.

    “We’re a team, we always work hand in hand, always learning from each other, and drawing inspiration back and forth,” said the multi-talented soloist. “We grew up in the same environment so we just vibe and connect easily.”

    Integrating dense instrumentation with gloomy synths and booming, confrontational beats, “DETERMINADO” not only impresses listeners with its scale and ambition but also reveals a different side of the SB19 vocalist and main rapper: someone who finds moments of vulnerability and strength in the face of chaos. In the words of PABLO himself, “It’s a realization when we find the courage to actually do what we want, and what kind of artist we aspire to be. We are confronting our fears and roadblocks, but still moving forward.”

    Determined to jumpstart a new phase in his career, PABLO is more confident in his undertaking as a musician, going to a sonic space that remains untouched even by his contemporaries and peers.

    He adds, “Our music is not just the output; it’s a collective of all the micro-things that happen behind the scenes and throughout the process. We are more assertive now. Also, this song marks a departure from our previous releases; it’s a blend of hip-hop and rock genres.”

    Aside from “DETERMINADO,” PABLO is also gearing up for a more exciting 2024. He’s looking into dropping more solo releases apart from his work with SB19, and possibly a debut album to be released soon.

    As the prolific artist puts it, “Again, going back to the song title, we are indeed on this journey. I have so many things planned to do in 2024, and definitely one of those is to release my own album.”

    PABLO’s “DETERMINADO” is out now on all digital music platforms worldwide via Sony Music Entertainment.

    Filipino teams stand tall as Group Stages conclude in Asia Pacific Predator League 2024 Grand Finals

    MANILA (January 12, 2024) The Asia Pacific Predator League 2024 Grand Finals kicked off with an electrifying display of skill and high-octane matches throughout the Group Stages. The Filipino teams have emerged as formidable contenders as the Group Stages reached its conclusion. This premier esports tournament pits 26 VALORANT and Dota 2 teams from the region as they vie for the coveted Predator Shield and the lion’s share of the $200,000 prize pool.

    In Dota 2, Filipino powerhouses Blacklist Rivalry and Execration have successfully advanced to the semi-finals, solidifying their positions among the elite.

    Blacklist Rivalry, led by world-renowned midlane Abed Yusop, lived up to high expectations, dominating Group A with an impressive 4-0 record. The methodical gameplay was on full display as they systematically dismantled opponents, averaging only 30 minutes per match. Not merely a one-man show, offlaner Kim ‘Gabbi’ Santos similarly demonstrated exceptional form, accumulating 59 assists across their matches.


    Execration, despite sharing a group with the dominant Blacklist Rivalry, also secured a spot in the semi-finals. The squad dropped only a single game, facing defeat against the stars of Blacklist Rivalry. Execration secured victories against Malaysian team Mythic Avenue Gaming, fellow Filipino squad ZOL Esports, and India-based Whoops, with Mark ‘Bob’ Urbino leading the charge with an impressive 11 KDA ratio.

    On the other side of the bracket, Team Aster from China topped Group B behind Gu ‘Han’ Jiahan’s performance in the midlane. The Chinese team lost only one match in the Group Stages against fellow semi-finalist IHC Esports. The Mongolians continue to show their constantly improving quality in Dota 2, as they continue to have magical moments in LAN events throughout the year.

    In VALORANT, Philippine juggernaut Team Secret emerged unscathed in Group D, delivering dominant performances against Malaysian side TODAK and Singapore’s Ender Dragon. Unfortunately, other Filipino squads Oasis Gaming and ZOL Esports, couldn’t progress beyond their respective groups.

    Team Secret will face off against Team Flash from Vietnam, Japan’s FAV Gaming, and BOOM Esports from Indonesia. FAV Gaming and BOOM Esports were undefeated in Group A and Group C, respectively.

    With two more action-packed days of high-level competition coming this weekend, it will be another Thrilla in Manila at the SM MOA Arena on January 13 and 14, 2024.

    SawanoHiroyuki[nZk] links up with TOMORROW x TOGETHER for SOLO LEVELING opening song “LEveL”

    SACRA MUSIC has released a new single from esteemed composer HIROYUKI SAWANO’s vocal project SawanoHiroyuki[nZk] featuring global K-pop superstars TOMORROW X TOGETHER entitled “LEveL.”

    Featured as the opening theme to the newly debuted TV animation SOLO LEVELING, the track includes a distinctive rhythm and addictive sound composed by Sawano and complemented by guest vocals from TOMORROW x TOGETHER, who perfectly match the series’ powerful, high-speed storyline.

    Known for his musical contributions to numerous anime series, TV dramas, and films including Attack on Titan, Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway’s Flash, and Promare, Sawano was tasked with both Solo Leveling’s opening theme as well as the series’ original score music. The hugely anticipated series made its worldwide debut last weekend and is based on the Korean novel and comic of the same name (Original Work: DUBU (REDICE STUDIO), Chugong, h-goon [D&C Webtoon Biz.]), which has become an international hit.

    HIROYUKI SAWANO says of the song, “I feel very honored to produce the music for Solo Leveling and the main theme as SawanoHiroyuki[nZk]. I am thankful for this opportunity to work with TOMORROW X TOGETHER. Their diverse vocal styles enhanced the track’s groove and the edge of the sound, and I was able to work feeling their talents on hand. It is a work that I look forward to seeing as a TV viewer myself, so I really hope people will enjoy the anime along with my music.”

    TOMORROW X TOGETHER adds, “LEveL expresses the main character’s strength with its dark and heavy feeling. Its distinctive and addictive rhythm really sticks to your head once you hear it, so please enjoy our song over and over along with the anime.”

    Return to the Scene of the Crime with ‘BERLIN’

    https://youtu.be/xWIqvZmWCRE?si=c-bw_z0kE1YfHw5Z

    Money Heist spin-off Berlin has consistently claimed its spot in Netflix’s top series category since its launch on December 29, 2023 and for good reason: it stars none other than fan-favorite Berlin (Pedro Alonso) and introduces his “old” thrilling crew consisting of code virtuoso Keila (Michelle Jenner), engineering and physics academic Damián (Tristan Ulloa), locksmith Roi (Julio Peña Fernández), gadget and weapon expert Bruce (Joel Sánchez), and enigma Cameron (Begoña Vargas).

    While set years before the daring heist at The Royal Mint of Spain, Berlin has orchestrated a captivating reunion of sorts for fans by bringing back some iconic characters from the original series including Raquel Murillo (Itziar Ituńo) and Alicia Sierra (Najwa Nimri).

    Showrunners Álex Pina and Esther Martinez unveil a fresh perspective regarding this prequel and share that while Berlin’s a “lighter” take on the beloved series, its emphasis on “love” is what makes it unique from the original material: “We always look for elements that really connect with the viewer, and love is one of those elements. And there are so many facets to love. In fact, the story shows a range of types of love in which the characters vie to show different moments of love, to show different situations.”

    Echoing the showrunners’ sentiments, Berlin titular character actor Pedro Alonso has this to say about the project and his character in this prequel: “I’ve often heard that Berlin is a cynic. Not at all. He’s sarcastic, he has a diabolically dark sense of humor, and he can be fascinating, a real prick, whatever you want, but not a cynic. He’s a man who’s committed to rediscovering a great life, falling in love in the face of common sense and logic. A man who’s made to love, in spite of everything.”

    In addition to the fresh and gripping narrative, Berlin captivates audiences with its breathtaking scenic spots, with the series being shot in 146 locations within numerous provinces of Spain like Madrid, Almeria, and León and in the romantic city of Paris. The show dazzled with scenes filmed in iconic Parisian landmarks such as the Church of Saint Julien Le Pauvre, Château d’ Ormesson-sur-Marne, Sacré Coeur, and other streets of Montmartre.

    Aside from these beautiful locations, the show charms with its curated music, including tracks originally recorded for the series like its opening theme “Bullets and Flowers” by Francis White and Nikki García, “No me mires” by POL 3,14., and “Tout Ou Rien” by Pipo Romero.

    Super Junior’s Yesung Kickstarts the K-Concert Scene in 2024 with “Unfading Sense” in Manila

    The K-concert scene in the Philippines got the best start with a captivating show from one of K-Pop’s best vocalists, Yesung, leading the year’s live events.

    Super Junior’s Yesung started the 2024 K-concert scene here in the Philippines as he performed for one special night at the New Frontier Theater for the YESUNG SOLO CONCERT ‘UNFADING SENSE’ IN MANILA last January 6, 2024.

    Yesung

    The night began with ELFs passionately singing along to “Song for You” by Super Junior, setting the tone for an unforgettable evening with Yesung.

    Opening the show with the enchanting “Scented Things,” Yesung captivated the audience, creating a beautiful start to a memorable night. The melancholic melodies of “Forenever” and “Silhouette” filled the venue, showcasing his versatile vocal prowess.

    In his first ment, the Super Junior expressed happiness, greeting PH ELFs warmly. He followed with the soulful “No More Love” and the heart-fluttering performance of “Butterfly.” “Moment” marked a truly cherishable part of the night.

    Transitioning to a lighter mood with “Floral Sense,” Yesung, now wearing specs, continued brightening the atmosphere with “Beautiful.” The second ment was filled with heartfelt moments, leading to the slowed-down rendition of “4 Seasons” and the lively crowd engagement during his “HO” performance, which was his song featuring NCT’s Mark Lee.

    Yesung took a sentimental turn with “Like Us” and the nostalgic “It Has to Be You” from the Korean drama, Cinderella’s Sister. The emotional journey continued with “Bear Hug” and the intense electric guitar sounds of “Lost Heart (Corazon Perdido)”.

    Yesung

    In the third ment, Yesung playfully interacted with his fans, expressing admiration for the energetic crowd, also playfully mentioning to keep their eyes on him and not on their phones all the time. He also hinted at the possibility of returning this year in Manila.

    A fan-made VCR featuring Yesung’s photocards and mini doll and Super Junior’s lightstick at iconic Philippine locations added a personal touch to the concert experience. He then revisited “Like Us” and serenaded the crowd with “Together,” accompanied by visuals of his beloved dogs, Kkoming and Melo. He concluded the night with his last song “I Am”.

    As Yesung bid farewell, the concert successfully inaugurated the 2024 K-Pop events in the country, leaving ELFs with anticipation for more. His playful hint about a potential return added an extra layer of excitement, promising more memorable concerts this year.

    The YESUNG SOLO CONCERT ‘UNFADING SENSE’ IN MANILA was presented by PULP Live World and Happee Hour. Special thanks to PULP Live World and Happee Hour for the invitation.
