Philippine Concerts was fortunate to catch the first episode of the highly anticipated season during the special screening at the Power Plant Cinema 4 last May 20 — thanks to Netflix! Members of the media were allowed to release spoiler-free reactions, and so we are sharing them with you!
Before the attendees got to the exclusive screening of the first episode, we were welcomed with a Stranger Things-inspired photo booth. And we can definitely feel the upside-down vibe during the event.
The one-hour and fifteen-minute-long episode is more character-focused and sets the stage for what is to come in Season 4. Stranger Things Season 4 Volume 1 episode 1 showed elements that will move the story forward in terms of the upside-down as it focuses on the development of the characters who try to move on from the events of the past. Overall, the storyline and flow, as witnessed in its first episode, will give bigger stakes for the most action-packed and scariest season of Stranger Things.
Check out some reactions below to pump you up for Volume 1 on May 27, exclusively on Netflix (plus, catch our full review this weekend):

With a smooth and catchy hook, and a light, airy production matched with Ylona’s crisp vocals, the track is a perfect summertime slow jam.

Apart from performing for his fans on his sold-out shows in the US, Zack has also spent his United States of America visit watching live performances.
Today, Filipino singer, songwriter, and producer Zack shared a photo with multihyphenate KESHI on his socials.
In March 2022, keshi delivered his debut studio album with the release of his magnum opus, GABRIEL.
For the first time, the album finds the 27-year-old singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist as the main character of his sonically articulated world. “GABRIEL is a record that turned out much more personal than I intended from the beginning,” keshi shared.
Meanwhile, Zack posted a cryptic video teaser three days ago with the caption “my aya. ❤️soon.” What could this mean? Fans speculate this may be a teaser to Zack’s current single ‘As You Are,’ which remains to chart on Spotify Philippines Top 200 at #139.
Multi-talented band Why Don’t We have dropped their summer-ready new single “Just Friends” – available now via Atlantic Records. Written by the band alongside JKash (Charlie Puth, Maroon 5), Jakob Hazell (Nick Jonas, Charli XCX), Svante Halldin (Rita Ora, Nick Jonas) and Amanda “Kiddo” Ibanez and produced by Jack&Coke (Nick Jonas, Charli XCX), the release follows “Let Me Down Easy (Lie)” as the group’s second new song of 2022.
“’Just Friends’ is the feel-good smash of the summer! We wrote it in Miami a couple months ago and it was one of the most fun day’s we’ve ever had in the studio. The song is about the classic feeling of wanting to be more than friends with someone you’ve known for a while, and all the emotions that come with that. We hope everyone rolls their windows down and blasts this one all summer long!” – WHY DON’T WE
Since their debut in 2016, Why Don’t We has amassed over 3 billion global career streams, over 930 million YouTube views, 7 million Instagram followers, two RIAA Platinum-certified singles, five RIAA Gold-certified singles, two Top 20 singles at Pop radio, and two Top 10 albums on the Billboard 200 chart. Taking an innovative and unconventional approach towards releasing new music and actively engaging their rapidly growing fanbase, the band put out their first five EPs within their first year together and followed shortly after with their inaugural full-length 8 Letters album in 2018. Soon after, 2019 saw the release of new singles monthly, including standouts “Big Plans,” “I Don’t Belong In This Club” featuring Macklemore, & the Ed Sheeran-penned/Steve Mac-produced hit “What Am I.”
The Los Angeles quintet—Daniel Seavey, Corbyn Besson, Jonah Marais, Jack Avery, and Zach Herron— went back to basics for their sophomore album, flatlining all social media and picking up their instruments to personally write, record, and produce the music themselves. Led by the band’s inaugural Billboard Hot 100 charting single “Fallin’ (Adrenaline),” The Good Times and The Bad Ones earned their highest debut on the Billboard 200 at #3 and their first #1 album on the album sales chart.
Why Don’t We re-emerged with their triumphant single “Love Back” in late 2021, sounding refreshed as ever after a turbulent year and marking the beginning an exciting new era. The band also teamed up with multi-Platinum producer Jonas Blue for their smash collaboration “Don’t Wake Me Up,” further cementing their newly found creative solace and control.
The band has sold out back-to-back North American and global headline tours, in addition to performing on historic stages such as Radio City Music Hall (selling out the venue in under two hours) and Madison Square Garden (as part of the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Tour). Furthermore, Why Don’t We took home the award for “Choice Music Group” at the 2019 Teen Choice Awards, received a nomination for “Best Group” at the 2019 MTV Video Music Awards, and has made high profile national television appearances on NBC’s TODAY Show (including back-to-back summer concerts in Rockefeller Plaza), ABC’s Good Morning America, nationally syndicated Live with Kelly and Ryan, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, NBC’s The Kelly Clarkson Show, CBS’s The Late Late Show with James Corden, ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! and more.
An iconic K-Pop boyband, GOT7 makes a grand comeback with a new EP ‘GOT7’
About the new EP “GOT7”, the group says “It’s for those who are trying not to forget about who they are, for those who have waited, and for those who have been with us. This is the beginning of our new first step, and it is the most GOT7-like album thus far.”
This is the award-winning K-Pop septet’ new project since a single ‘Encore’ release in February 2021. It also is GOT7’s first physical release in a year and a half since ‘Breath of Love: Last Piece’ album.
The group’s self-produced album contains 6 tracks including a title track ‘NANANA’, written by JAY B. About the track, JAY B says “We want to bring a smile to the audience and IGOT7 who have been waiting for us. It’s a gift to them.”
For the past year, the members of GOT7 have been very active in each of their own solo careers in music, acting, musical, and more, which escalated the fans’ excitement when the group’s reunion was announced and confirmed.
Consist of multi-nationality members from South Korea, US, Thailand, and China, GOT7 was positioned as an ultimate global K-Pop group since the debut in 2014 with an EP “Got it?”, releasing multiple hits like ‘A,’ ‘Stop stop it,’ ‘Just Right,’ ‘If You Do,’ and ‘Hard Carry’.
GOT7 is MARK, JAY B, JACKSON, JINYOUNG, YOUNGJAE, BAMBAM, and YUGYEOM.

The news has probably reached you by now and yes, you heard it right! After two years of no K-Pop concerts in the Philippines due to the CoViD-19 pandemic, the Philippine concert stage is now ready to welcome back K-Pop acts and fans with an exciting concert treat from SHINee’s Key, NCT Dream, WEi, and ALICE.
Presented by CDM Entertainment, in partnership with BRODYWORKS, Begin Again: KPOP Edition is happening on May 29, 2022, at 5 p.m. at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
As we prep for the biggest K-Pop comeback of the year in the Philippines, here is everything you need to know about the most anticipated concert this month!
The Four Korean Acts Set to Make History with their Pinoy Fans
A Fresh Start: These Four Korean Acts are Making History with their Pinoy Fans (CDM Entertainment)
Fans are in for a treat this summer as four South Korean acts are coming to Manila for a concert. NCT DREAM, SHINee’s KEY, WEi, and ALICE are set to perform their biggest hits live at Begin Again: KPOP Edition, happening on May 29, 2022, at 5 p.m. at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
Aptly named “Begin Again,” this historic event marks the first international concert in the country after two years. The artists have come together to meet their beloved fans face to face, after years of purely online interactions. There’s bound to be a lot of excitement and most notably, happy tears, as idol and fan meet again. Most importantly, it’s an avenue for artists to cheer on their fans during these difficult times.
To add to the thrill, “Begin Again” checks off a couple of hallmark moments for the artists. For instance, NCT DREAM is coming back to “open the doors” of international live shows after being the last one to hold it in 2020. Meanwhile, it is KEY’s first time back in the Philippines. This time, he is performing as a solo artist. His last visit was in 2017 with his group at a benefit concert.
Alternatively, ALICE gets to meet their Pinoy fans again with more members than the last time they were here. Formerly known as ELRIS, the group has added two new members and has since rebranded to its new name. Finally, WEi sets its sights on Filipino RUi for the first time. Having debuted during a pandemic, the six-member boy group didn’t have many opportunities to meet its international fans.
All four groups are fresh off the release of their latest work. NCT DREAM successfully wrapped their “Glitch Mode” era with two million albums sold. This comeback also marked their first entry on the Billboard 200 Chart at number 50, proving their popularity on the international scene.
Meanwhile, SHINee’s KEY debuted as a solo artist in 2018 and has since released multiple albums with “Bad Love” being the latest. The mini-album came out in September of last year and had six tracks, including the titular single. It earned KEY his first music show win along with a number of critical acclaim including the third spot at NME’s “The 25 best K-pop songs of 2021.”
Despite being only two years old, boy group WEi is also a force to be reckoned with. Members DAE HYEON, DONG HAN, YONG HA, YO HAN, SEOK HWA, and JUN SEO recently released their mini-album “Love Pt.1: First Love,” last March and are drawing the attention of fans across the world. The album earned them the fifth spot on Korea’s Gaon Chart.
Finally, girl group ALICE released their latest single “Power of Love” last May 4, 2022. Members EJ, Do-A, Chaejeong, Yeonjae, Yukyung, Sohee, and Karin lent their beautiful voices to this emotional ballad. It sings of longing for a distant loved one but never losing faith in their connection—the perfect song for these tumultuous times.

Don’t miss this chance to make new happy memories with NCT DREAM, KEY, WEi, and ALICE. This event is brought to you by CDM Entertainment in partnership with BRODYWORKS.
Four of the biggest South Korean acts are slated to visit Manila for “Begin Again: KPOP Edition” taking place on May 29, 2022, 5 PM at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. Fans are sure to have a blast with NCT DREAM, SHINee’s KEY, WEi, and ALICE performing their latest hit songs on the Philippine stage.
NCT DREAM will be headlining the show, coming on the heels of their widely successful album “Glitch Mode.” Released last March, NCT DREAM has recently wrapped promotions after selling an impressive 2 million albums. This makes them a double million-seller for two consecutive years—a feat only a handful of groups have achieved.
Seemingly a magnet for historic achievements, NCT DREAM is set to tick another one on its checklist. Back in 2020, the group is the last to hold a live concert in the Philippines before COVID-19 lockdown. Now, they’ll be one of the first international artists to perform live again after two years. Needless to say, NCT DREAM is making dreams come true with their return to the country.
Performing alongside the group is labelmate KEY, lead dancer, and lead rapper of SHINee. In 2018, KEY made his solo debut with the single “Forever Yours,” which he quickly followed up with a full studio album titled “Face.” The album peaked at number 5 on Korea’s Gaon Chart and snagged a top 10 entry on the US World Albums Chart.
September last year, KEY released his first mini-album “Bad Love,” which earned him another top entry on the Gaon Chart. The titular track also enjoyed commercial and critical success with its Music Core win and The Ringer naming it the Best KPOP Song of 2021.
WEi, a six-member boy group from OUI Entertainment, is also joining in the fun. Though only debuting 2 years ago, the group is no stranger to the limelight. Members DAE HYEON, DONG HAN, YONG HA, YO HAN, SEOK HWA, and JUN SEO have different charms, and as a fourth-generation youth icon, WEi is loved by domestic and international fans.
In March of this year, the group released their fourth mini-album “Love Pt.1: First Love” with “Too Bad” as the main title. The album sold more than 100,000 copies and placed at number five on Korea’s Gaon Chart.
Last but definitely not the least is ALICE, consisting of members EJ, Do-A, Chaejeong, Yeonjae, Yukyung, Sohee, and Karin. In 2018, the group was named the Best Rookie Group at the 24th Korean Entertainment Arts Awards. Fresh off the May 4 release of their latest single “Power of Love,” these fearsome femmes are ready to wow on the stage.
The 2-hour concert marks the first live KPOP show in the country since the COVID-19 lockdown. Don’t miss this historic event and come see talented artists on one stage.

Global rock sensations Måneskin return with their new single “SUPERMODEL”, written in Los Angeles and produced by acclaimed producer Max Martin (The Weeknd, Coldplay, Lady Gaga) and his team – LISTEN HERE. The release of ‘Supermodel’ follows news of the band reaching 1 Billion streams last week for their chart hit “Beggin’”.
With its Californian sound and infectious modern rock grooves, “Supermodel” is a sublime new offering from a burgeoning act who continue to carve out their own inimitable brand of rock’n’roll. Måneskin came up with the concept of “Supermodel” after being inspired by the many characters they met during their time in L.A.
The band explained: “We wrote Supermodel after spending the best few months in LA. At times we were surprised yet intrigued to find how people cared so much about the idea of “celebrity” and status, obsessing over their looks and connections.
They add: “We started to imagine an enigmatic Supermodel character. She is really cool, fun and social, yet in reality she is troubled, hiding sadness and addiction. In a way you love her, because she knows how to have a good time, but you also want to avoid her, because she might get you into trouble”
Måneskin will be marking the release with the debut live performance of the single at the Eurovision Song Contest final on May 14th, celebrating a year since their triumphant win which helped catapult them to no.1 in the global charts.
The band will kick off their world tour “LOUD KIDS TOUR” on October 31 with a sellout gig in Seattle and will hit other sold out cities including New York, San Francisco, Atlanta and Washington, as well as a new date in Los Angeles before embarking on their sold out European leg in 2023 – playing iconic venues including London’s O2 Arena, Accor Arena in Paris and Berlin’s Mercedes Benz Arena. For all tour dates, tickets and information, please visit:www.vivoconcerti.com
With a sound that’s at once classic and thoroughly modern, Måneskin are bringing rock’n’roll back on top of the International charts, perfectly mixing it with contemporary tastes. Now co-signed by the likes of Iggy Pop, The Rolling Stones, Mark Ronson and more, Victoria (bass guitar), Damiano (vocals), Thomas (guitar) and Ethan (drums), started their career busking in the streets of Rome in 2015 and, in just few years, they conquered the world by becoming one of the most popular rock acts of their generation. At the moment the band has over 5 billion streams on all digital platforms. With their brand new single Supermodel, Måneskin continue to assert themselves as one of the most exciting rock bands of our time.
May 11, 2022 – Multi-platinum selling pop-rock band 5 Seconds of Summer have released their new single “Me, Myself & I” – listen here. The emotionally-driven song is a propulsive break-up anthem that showcases the group’s pop and punk influences with angsty riffs and a huge sing-along chorus. Produced and co-written by Jason Evigan (Maroon 5, Dua Lipa, David Guetta, Jason Derulo), Jon Bellion (Justin Bieber, Halsey, Lauv), and Pete Nappi (GAYLE, Madison Beer), and Mick Coogan (Charlotte Lawrence, Carlie Hanson).The music video will premiere Friday, May, 13 at 2pm PT/5pm ET on YouTube.
Of the song, Luke states, “’Me, Myself, and I’ is a really exciting song for us to have on the record that we’ve spent the last two years making. We’re all big fans of Jon Bellion and when he sent us the idea, we instantly connected with it. So much of what we had been writing lyrically was extremely introspective and this song fit like a puzzle piece with the rest of the album. We then ended up finishing it with Jon, Jason Evigan, Pete Nappi and Mick Coogan. ‘Me Myself and I’ explores the emotional cycle of feeling like you can do everything on your own and that you don’t need anyone else, but eventually realizing that sometimes you push away the best things in your life. We love this song and hope other people connect with it as much as we do.”
Additionally, the band has announced their highly anticipated 5th studio album, 5SOS5will arrive on September 23, 2022, which will be released independently via BMG. The deluxe CD version and digital versions of the album will have 19 tracks, and cassette and vinyl are also available.The album is available for pre-order now.
The album will showcase the band’s multi-faceted artistry and growth over their 10-year career, highlighting their dynamic sound, accompanied by reflective and intimate lyrics. 5SOS5 will include their previously released tracks “Take My Hand” and “COMPLETE MESS,” along with 16 new songs. Full tracklisting is below. The group most recently performed their smash hit “COMPLETE MESS,” on The Kelly Clarkson Show yesterday – watch here.

Based on a true story, Maisie originally teased the track live from a studio session in February and with an overwhelming response from her fanbase, continued working on the song in real time, sharing everything from Cate’s first listen reaction to debut performances.
“I wrote this song in Stockholm at a time I was revisiting a lot of the pop punk music I grew up listening to, and thinking about how live I wanted my next era of music to feel” Maisie explains. “I always wanted to be in a band and so I channelled that energy in to this song about my friend Cate’s brother, that’s become this whole universe bigger than both of us”.
Recently returning from a sold-out 19-date headline North American tour, which included standout shows at The El Rey and New York’s Webster Hall, Maisie will play to a further 2.5 million+ people this summer as support on Ed Sheeran’s ‘+ – = ÷ x Tour’.

Le Brassus, May 13, 2022 – Swiss Haute Horlogerie manufacturer Audemars Piguet is delighted to reveal Mark Ronson’s new song “Too Much” featuring R&B artist Lucky Daye, who received the 2022 Grammy for Best Progressive R&B Album for his EP Table for Two. “Too Much” represents the culmination of the two artists’ collaboration documented in the brand’s miniseries Syncing Sounds, the last episode of which can now be viewed on YouTube as well as on Audemars Piguet’s website and social channels.
Falling within the scope of Audemars Piguet’s music programme debuted in 2019, the three-episode series Syncing Sounds brings the audience to the heart of Mark Ronson’s collaborative process as he works with Lucky Daye on the composition and creation of the song entitled “Too Much” in his recording studio located in New York City.

“In terms of the lyrics, I would say the theme is pretty much a party record, where you see someone who can’t really come out of their shell and you want to convince them to just have a good time. These days, it’s not that often where you can just go outside and have the time of your life.”
Lucky Daye Songwriter and singer
“This sound really takes me back to my childhood with its touch of disco, it makes you move! It is incredibly inspiring to be part of such a creative encounter between these two amazing talents.”
