R&B Royalties Kyla and Jay R reigned over the New Frontier Theater in Quezon City for their reunion concert titled Back in Time. Presented by Gabi Na Naman Productions, nostalgia was palpable all over as the crowd, mostly composed of millennials, was treated to a fabulous concert with two of the most talented OPM artists.
With their distinctly airy yet smooth vocals, Kyla and Jay R were some of the most popular singers in the early 2000s. They were regular performers in GMA’s noontime show SOP which ran every Sunday from 1997 to 2010. There, they often shared the stage as singers and even had their stint as actors as part of the love team called “JayLa”. Beyond this, the two have been musical partners, composing and making music together. Twenty years since then, their love team might be no longer, but their solid musical chemistry is still very much alive.
When the lights went out, Jay R burst through the stage with Ne-Yo’s “Closer” followed by Kyla who then performed Mariah Carey’s “Fantasy”. Together, they performed “Back in Time” which was composed by Jay R.
Accompanied by an incredible live band, each artist had their solo stage first. Jay R whipped out his best moves with his best hits including “Parachute”, “Kung Mahal Mo Siya” and “Bakit Pa Ba”. He also introduced his new song “Blessed”.
Kyla’s stage performance was stellar with “Making Me Crazy”, “On the Wings of Love”, “Hanggang Kailan” and her breakthrough hit in 2000 “Hanggang Ngayon”.
”Ever since I met this woman 20 years ago, she elevated me in so many ways — as a singer, as a performer, as a person even. Ky, she gives great advice,” Jay R said in between their duet.
“I feel the same. You’ve done the same for me. We’re very close friends,” Kyla replied.
Kyla also fondly reminisced about their first meeting which apparently is a subject for debate for the two of them. According to Kyla’s memory, they met at SOP wherein a towering Jay R accompanied by a bodyguard greeted her with “Wazzup”. Meanwhile, Jay R always thought they first met during their Christmas stage in SOP. Regardless, the two concluded that it was the show that solidified our partnership as musicians.
Kyla and Jay R shared the stage again, one banger after another. Songs like “My Boo” (Usher ft. Alicia Keys), “Hate That I Love You” (Rihanna and Ne-Yo), and “Broken Vow” and “Say That You Love Me” had the crowd singing along with them.
The show was a pleasure to watch from beginning to end. Like its title, it really did take us back in time. Jay R has this natural swag which is matched by his soulfully airy vocals. Graceful as she is, Kyla’s vocals are powerful and distinctly colorful. Together, they make a great team, and seeing that unfold again in 2023 was terrific.
It was a blast of laughter, music, advocacy, and art at the 123 Block, Mandala Park at Mandaluyong as Linya-Linya Land (LLL) made its triumphant return after four long years. Co-presented by Gabi Na Naman Productions, the event featured a diverse line-up of stand-up comedians, artists, and musicians.
At the side of the stage, artists’ booths were set up. Pol Medina Jr. had his Pugad Baboy comic saga and some mugs for sale. As a bonus, fans could also get their merchandise signed by him and snap a photo with him as well. Edwin Tayao, known for his jeepney signage art, was also a crowd favorite as he was taking requests on the spot. Rob Cham was also frequented by guests to have their live portraits drawn.
LLL’s advocacy partners including AHA Learning Center, Angat Buhay, and The Learning Lab at Bantayog ng mga Bayani also had their booths set up at the venue. Muralist AG Saño and Linya-Linya co-founder/painter Panch Alvarez were also seen painting live art as the main stage was abuzz. Their finished artworks were later auctioned off, the proceeds to be donated to their advocacy partners.
Stand-up comedians from Comedy Manila took the stage to incite a whirlwind of laughter from the crowd. You’d probably heard them in podcasts or seen them in noontime shows and television ads, but seeing them weave their magic live was a differently wonderful experience altogether. Jeleen Cubillas, Victor Anastacio, Nonong Ballinan, James Caraan, and GB Labrador shared their candid yet insightful takes on religion, politics, and popular culture.
Of course, leave it to Linya-Linya Land to feature a spectacular group of musicians. Autotelic was the first musical act to hype the stage. They performed “Gising”, “Takipsilim” and “Laro”.
With an acoustic guitar in hand, Nica Del Rosario paid homage to her musical influences by covering Kitchie Nadal’s “Huwag na Huwag Mong Sasabihin” and Spongecola’s “Jeepney”. She also performed “Tala” and “Rosas”.
The mood took a slight turn for the solemn and the romantic when Johnoy Danao, backed by a three-piece string orchestra, took the spotlight. Who knew “Right Time” and “Ikaw at Ako” could sound more poignant?
It was the rowdy kind of fun as Cheats rocked out during their set with songs like “Machine Jr.” and “Accidents”. Linya-Linya co-founder Ali Sangalang joined them onstage during their last song.
It was around 11 PM when Ebe Dancel took the stage, but the crowd was rejuvenated by his presence. He never fails to have the crowd singing along to “Prom”, “Bawat Daan” and “Burnout”.
In LLL 2023, we got to experience live comedy, live art, and live music all in one day. Can’t wait for what next year’s going to bring!
Special thanks to Linya-Linya and Gabi Na Naman Productions!
Following his recent return with new tracks ‘Blindside’ & ‘A Year Ago’, James Arthur today announces his fifth, brand new studio album Bitter Sweet Love – out January 26th, 2024 on Columbia Records.
As well as featuring the two recently released singles, Bitter Sweet Love is James back to his very best, producing thirteen bites of world-class music. After being on stage, it struck him how his fifth album should sound. A sold-out crowd was singing along to his hits, immersed in the emotion that James could hear in his own voice.
Within days of the tour ending in the States, James began sessions with different producers to see who could click with his vision. His final stop was in L.A. with Steve Solomon, with whom he co-wrote his 2016 megahit ‘Say You Won’t Let Go’.
Back in Britain, James attempted to write with more producers, but none came close to his bond with Steve, who flew over to finish the album at Miloco Studios in South London last summer, and produce a mature body of work, full of depth and oozing the impeccable songwriting quality that has defined James’s esteemed career to date.
The Middlesbrough-born, recent Brit Billion-certified artist has scored 4 top 10 albums, with 2016’s Back From The Edge hitting the Number 1 spot and over his career has collaborated with the likes of Anne-Marie, Sigala, Rudimental, Marshmello & many more.
James is one of the world’s biggest streaming artists, with over 38 million monthly listeners on Spotify alone. ‘Say You Won’t Let Go’ became his breakthrough hit in the US. It was officially the UK’s most-streamed song in 2016 and has gone on to be enjoyed via 4 billion streams while the song’s official video has achieved 1.5 billion views on YouTube. Earlier this year, the track became his first RIAA Diamond Single with 10 million certified units – making James one of just 100 recipients of an RIAA Diamond Single certification in the program’s history.
Other huge hit singles include: ‘Impossible’, ‘Can I Be Him’, ‘Sun Comes Up’, ‘Naked’, ‘Empty Space’, ‘Rewrite The Stars’, ‘Falling Like the Stars’, ‘Train Wreck’ and ‘Lasting Lover’, which are all certified platinum records. The song ‘Cars Outside’ is currently becoming another global hit for James.
Back from the Edge was released on October 28, 2016, and entered the UK Albums Chart at #1. James’ last album, 2021’s It’ll All Make Sense In The End, was a lockdown project recorded at home that leaned heavily on programmed beats.
“The more albums you make and the more success you have, the more the pressure tends to be upon you. But I genuinely felt like a kid again, just making music I loved, not worried about trying to please everyone.”
The 2023 Asia Artist Awards, set to be held in the Philippines in December, has confirmed its hosts.

With her polished hosting and upbeat charm, Jang Wonyoung, who has been in charge of presenting AAA for three years, is anticipated to set the atmosphere, together with Hanbin’s youthful and boyish charms and Kang Daniel’s distinctive attractiveness and experience as an MC.
The 2023 Asia Artist Awards, which were first hosted in 2016, is Korea’s first integrated awards program that honors actors and singers. Global talents from outside of South Korea attended and grabbed the audience’s interest in the past years. The award show, which has established itself as the top worldwide awards presentation, consistently provokes a passionate reaction.
NewJeans, LE SSERAFIM, NMIXX, BOYNEXTDOOR, and ZEROBASEONE have confirmed their appearances and were named as the first attendees. Expectations are rising as international actors and singers are planned to be revealed as guests one at a time.
The two-day festival aims to give back to the indie music community in Cebu by fostering inclusivity and representation with tried-and-tested methods that work well in a DIY setting!
Taking center stage with an electrifying twist, September Fever returns with a two-day festival that puts a spotlight on the regional independent music scenes in the Philippines.
Now in its sixth year, the event reformats into a Music Talks and Showcase Festival, improving its programming with a more grassroots-leaning, pro-independent music approach while providing an opportunity for budding and self-sustaining musicians to explore the ropes of the industry and learn from key resource speakers in the music business.
September Fever Festival Director Karl Lucente explains, “In a nutshell, this year’s edition of September Fever Music Festival is a dynamic blend of electrifying performances, informative discussions, and a strong sense of community. It’s a moment when music takes center stage, artists shine, and audiences come together to celebrate the power of creativity and the love of music.”
Day 1: Music Talks and Networking Night
Music Talks, a new segment that was introduced by September Fever this year, is designed to empower and educate the participants on the crucial aspects of the industry. Curated by The Rest Is Noise PH, the forum will cover four main topics and has invited speakers from the scene to discuss the nitty-gritty of DIY ethos with tried-and-tested methods to communicate one’s music brand: Music Marketing and Branding (Ian Urrutia from The Rest is Noise PH and NYOU Consultancy); Music PR and Media Pitching (MC Galang from The Rest is Noise PH and AXEAN Festival); Artist Perspective: Touring Local (Mich Paclioga of Loop PH); and Music Production (Tim Marquez of One Click Straight).
“Beyond the performances, the festival is now introducing a series of engaging music talks,” shares Karl Lucente. “These talks feature industry experts who share valuable insights and advice, particularly for those embarking on their musical journey. From practical tips to behind-the-scenes stories, these discussions provide a wealth of knowledge that can guide aspiring musicians and enthusiasts alike.”
From music marketing and branding strategies to navigating the complexities of music production, these guest speakers will share practical insights and valuable tips that can truly make a difference in one’s musical journey. “Additionally, they’ll shed light on touring in our own land from the artist’s perspective, providing a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to make a mark on the global stage,” Lucente reveals.
Following ‘Music Talks,’ the event seamlessly transitions into an insightful Roundtable Discussion that provides invaluable expertise on industry-related topics pertaining to the promotion of local artists. This discourse also proposes the unification of production teams from diverse regions, forming the foundation for September Fever’s 2024 Regional Caravan. Esteemed music producers, production leaders, and industry experts gather to chart a path that transports VisMin’s artists nationwide while championing the indie music movement—a convergence of creative energies where innovation meets collaboration, shaping the future of VisMin’s indie music scene. The Roundtable Discussion will be attended by various professionals in the Philippine music scene: KC Salazar of Indie CDO (Cagayan de Oro); J Martino “Bobbi” Olvido of John Bottles (Cebu); Sandy Kiamko of Holodeck (Davao); Philip Biboso of Southlab (Koronadal); and Josh Alipe of Sapphire (Cebu).
Day 1 is then capped off with a Mixer/Networking Night that aims to connect the press, industry leaders, musicians, entrepreneurs, creatives, and VIP attendees with the goal of fostering meaningful collaborations and opportunities for the artists. Cebu-based rising artists Lolita Grey and Franciskoe will be performing, followed by a DJ set by the Baihaus spinners.
Day 2: Showcase Festival
While Music Talks lays the groundwork for aspiring musicians in the local indie scene, Day 2 presents a celebration of music excellence featuring some of the most notable names in the Philippine music scenes from Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao—be it independent, mainstream, or anything in between.
This year’s September Fever Music Festival artist lineup consists of Cebuano acts Coloura, Kali Hoods, Tomorrow For Sure, Renzo Sy, Sansette, and Wonggoys. They are also joined by guest acts from all over the Philippines: Aira Casti, KRNA, Loner, One Click Straight, Oh, Flamingo!, The Itchyworms, and DJ Love.
Lucente emphasizes that the curation for the showcase format aims to highlight the vibrant tapestry of the Philippine music scene as represented by the eclectic and diverse lineup representing various regions in the country. “This comprehensive approach blends education, entertainment, and cultural exchange, ensuring attendees enjoy the performances while gaining enriching insights for their own musical pursuits,” he adds.
September Fever Music Festival VI is made possible with the partnership of The Rest is Noise PH, Filla Killa, Black Straw Prod Co, and Missing Scene. The music talks and showcase festival will take place on September 22 and 23 at From Here and Draft Punk in Cebu City, respectively.
For more updates on the festival, follow September Fever Music Festival on:
September Fever is a yearly event initially curated to showcase electronic music but has transformed to become an annual celebration of Cebu indie music and other acts from the Philippines. In this sixth iteration, September Fever aims to become an even bigger event, bringing together acts from Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao to showcase and uplift the best local indie music.
Manila went on an evolution genre journey with Turnover, as no rain nor storm stopped them from capturing the Philippine concert scene on the last day of August!
The Virginia Beach locals, Austin Getz, bassist Danny Dempsey, guitarist Nick Rayfield, and drummer Casey Getz, took off with their Turnover Asian Tour 2023 in Manila in SM North EDSA Skydome and squeezed in more than a decade-long year career in one night.
The Filipino crowd, as always, resonated right with the band with a few familiar faces in the crowd of our very own music scene and showed that we are still deeply connected to the rock genre, despite the rise of pop music in the country.
Synths and Low Light Bulb Feels to Almost Mosh Pits
The band started their act with their latest album, Myself in the Way, tracks that were released last year, effectively putting the crowd in the right mood with their synth play, which is almost somnolent and puts you in a trance. They plucked “Stone Station,” “Tears of Change,” the album title track, “Myself in the Way,” and “Mountains Made of Clouds” from the album. In addition to the setlist was one of the crowd favorites that released the audience from its trance and gave a nod to the band’s early loved genre, which are “Cutting My Fingers Off” and “Humming,” both from their 2015 album, Peripheral Vision. Perhaps this is the band’s most loved and most popular album as this isn’t the last song of the night they played from the LP.
The vocalist Austin Getz greeted the Filipino audience gave the crowd the classic “Mabuhay!” and thanked the crowd for always welcoming them into the country. Some tracks from the Good Nature album also made their way onto the stage, a happier tune the band has previously experimented on with good feel songs like “Super Natural,” “Pure Devotion, Plant, and What Got in The Way. This got the crowd excited and it was evident that the band’s best attraction to the crowd was their fast-paced tracks as tracks from another album full of happy drive feel songs took over the Skydome and made the patrons dance with Plant Sugar, Number on the Gate and Much After Feeling, all from the album “Altogether.” Sneaking into the middle of all this beautiful chaos was their single “Humblest Pleasures.”
The vocalist noted that he feels like the Filipino fans are their long-time friends with the number of times they’ve been back in the country and still welcomed warmly, with the fans still able to sing along with their old and newly released tracks.
The night was then taken over by Peripheral Visions tracks like “New Scream,” “Diazepam,” and the band’s most streamed track on Spotify, “Dizzy on the Comedown” which gives extreme levels of nostalgia. Songtell has described this song as “about being in a tumultuous relationship and yearning for connection beyond the way things have always gone.” And it does. It’s impossible not to connect to this song and it has been a universal agreement among the song’s listeners that it has hit them on a core memory.
And how can you let go of the band after they sing that? The Manila crowd who is always notorious for asking for more asked the band to sing another track for the encore, which almost turned the crowd into a mosh pit with a heavier guitar riff and faster pace than most of the songs of the night, another track from Peripheral Visions, “Take My Head.”
It’s clear that the band has found a home in the country when they said they will come back again as part of the closing words of the concert and band followers cheered on. They even asked for more songs after the encore and insisted that they didn’t want to let go of the pop rock and indie rock band that captured an audience in our country, chasing that high feeling for shoegaze and nostalgia.
Cornerstone Entertainment’s newest boy group consists of four young boys Ash (Leader/Lead Vocal), JC (Main Dancer), Axl (Main Vocals), and Alex (Main Rapper). Upon the first look, the boys are oozing with a pleasing and endearing aura that will just make you smile.
Coming strong with not one, but four tracks, AJAA offers a colorful sound with “Hany,” “Best Day Ever (BDE),” “Cuppy Cake,” and “Torpe” from their “4 Ü” debut EP which drops on the evening September 7.
The New Boys in Town: AJAA!
What’s in a name? As a lot of unique group names are being introduced lately, AJAA is actually a very simple and notable name as each letter represents the boys’ names – Ash, JC, Axl, and Alex.
It may also be derived from the Korean phrase meaning “fighting” or “good luck,” which is the exact feeling that the boys of AJAA promise to deliver with their vibrant tunes.
Dubbed “The New Boys in Town,” AJAA’s overall energy brings out youthful vibes, and it is evident not just with their charm, but with their music as well. “While listening to our music, we want the audience to feel reconnected to their childhood and to be happy whenever they’re stressed or not in a good mood,” Alex mentioned.
Revolving around the adventures of youth – from having adolescent crushes to spending an afternoon with the gang – AJAA just exudes memories of being young and free. Expect a lot of bubblegum pop and cutesy tracks that are widely loved by Pinoy Pop music fans.
The group names PPop groups KAIA, SB19, and their sibling groups VXON, G22, and Yes My Love as their biggest inspirations. Stating them as trailblazers in the ever-growing PPop industry.
“It is with those groups that we truly appreciated PPop and pushed us to join the industry. When we saw their videos, since we love dancing too, we wanted to see ourselves performing as well,” JC shares.
On riding the PPop wave, the group is very pleased to be part of the industry that they’ve been fans of. “It’s really this time that PPop is rising as there are many groups that are being formed now, and we’re very proud to be part of that. We will do our best to continue to uplift Pinoy talents” Ash expressed.
Arriving with AJAA
After a year of training under Cornerstone Entertainment and signing with Republic Records under Universal Music Group (UMG) Philippines, the boys of AJAA are no doubt geared up for stardom. Although the boys of AJAA are still very young, they are no strangers to the PPop community and the entertainment industry. In fact, AJAA’s debut is one of the most awaited events for PPop fans.
In 2021, Ash and JC were part of a reality survival show created by Kumu, Cornerstone Entertainment, and TV5. Ash was eliminated from the show, while JC survived until the finale of the show, but failed to reach the final line-up of winners.
Meanwhile, Axl is widely popular in the digital world, specifically in TikTok where he gained his own fans from uploading dance covers and trends.
Lastly, Alex has done stints in TV commercials and short films and was previously scouted by a South Korean Entertainment agency.
“Entering this industry gave us so much knowledge, challenging siya kasi we’re young pa especially for me since I’m still juggling school and training and some of us were away from home, but it’s really fun! We’ve learned so much and until now we’re still learning,” Axl shared.
