    GAT IGNITES P-POP SCENE WITH DEBUT SINGLE AND SIGNATURE SCENT

    After basking in global success with their cover of “Daleng Dale,” rising P-Pop group GAT continues to shine in the entertainment industry with two milestones—a debut single and an upcoming fragrance line. Comprised of talented singer-actors Ethan David, Charles Law, Michael Keith, Derick Ong, and Hans Paronda, GAT made names for themselves in the P-Pop world with their renditions of popular songs such
    as “Huwag Ka Nang Humirit” by James Reid, “Marikit” by Juan Caoile & Kyleswish, and “Rainbow” by
    South Border.

    But, it was their cover of “Daleng Dale” that made them a hit among fans, especially when it became an original soundtrack to the hit Viva One series Ang Mutya ng Section E, which stars Andres Muhlach,
    Ashtine Olviga, and Rabin Angeles. Also, four members of the group, namely Ethan, Charles, Michael, and Derick, are all supporting cast members of the show.

    With a rendition that spanned viral TikTok dance crazes and millions of streams on Spotify, GAT became poised to become big names in the local music industry. And they continued that momentum last August when they released their debut single “Kakaiba.”

    Written by GAT themselves, “Kakaiba” sings about an extraordinary kind of attraction towards someone, capturing the ecstasy of an undeniably intense infatuation. Along with GAT, the song is produced by The Kennel, an international music publishing, production and management company based in Sweden, and singer-songwriter and composer Kylu Garcia.

    With a song that embodies a remarkable kind of attraction, GAT marks another milestone with something that reinforces attraction—a signature perfume line under Viva Beauty called GAT Eau De Parfum, a celebration of their journey towards grit, growth, and greatness.

    GAT Eau De Parfum’s signature scent was handpicked by the P-Pop group themselves, having a vibrant fusion of spice, woods, and warmth. It mirrors their powerful presence onstage with spicy and earthy notes of cardamom, akigalawood, and turmeric, evokes the depth, emotion, and strength of their performances with rich and grounding notes of frankincense, oak, cedar, white sandalwood, and iris, and leave a lasting impression among fans with a comforting note of vanilla and golden amber.

    With a whiff of GAT Eau De Parfum, GAT allows their fans, collectively known as TAGs (Together Always, GAT) to let them feel closer to them, allowing them to carry their energy and personality wherever they go.

    “Kakaiba” is now available for streaming on all major music streaming platforms. Meanwhile, GAT’s perfume line will be available very soon. For inquiries and direct orders, you can call or message Viva Beauty at 09178017910.

  • The Only ‘Ghosting’ We Want: Cup of Joe’s “Multo” Haunts Spotify PH All the Way to #1

    The Only ‘Ghosting’ We Want: Cup of Joe’s “Multo” Haunts Spotify PH All the Way to #1

    In a plot twist worthy of a teleserye cliffhanger, Cup of Joe’s runaway hit “Multo” is creeping closer and closer to OPM immortality. The beloved five-piece band is on the brink of making OPM history, as “Multo” breaks the record for the longest-running #1 song on the Spotify Philippines Daily Chart – a title currently held by Zack Tabudlo’s “Pano.” It’s a moment that not only celebrates Cup of Joe’s meteoric rise but also marks an exciting new chapter for OPM.

    Cup of Joe

    Since its release, “Multo” has become a full-blown streaming phenomenon, racking up over 1.18 million streams a day and holding the highest spot for a jaw-dropping 210 days and the #1 spot for 125 days (and counting!). At one point, it even shattered records for the highest single-day streams in Spotify PH history, clocking in at a spooky-good 2.3 million plays in just 24 hours. If that’s not hauntingly impressive, we don’t know what is.

    But “Multo” didn’t stop at just local domination. The song also made global waves, becoming the first Filipino act to enter the Billboard Global 200, eventually peaking at #80, a ghostly milestone that proves OPM is no longer just a local love affair. Back home, the track ruled the Billboard Philippines Hot 100 for 10 straight weeks, the longest run in the chart’s history. No need for a séance, Cup of Joe’s star power is very much alive.

    Their unique fusion of soul, synth, and aching sincerity strikes a deep chord with a generation all too familiar with heartbreak. “Multo” floats between worlds, just like its title – existing both in your Spotify loop and in the hearts of Joewahs everywhere.

    With the record well within reach, Cup of Joe is far from finished. The band is fired up and ready to make waves once again with their upcoming 3-day SOLD OUT Concert titled ‘Stardust’ at the Smart Araneta Coliseum where fans (aka the ever-dedicated Joewahs) are expected to show up, sing loud, and cry harder. Because if “Multo” has taught us anything, it’s that OPM is alive, thriving, and ready to haunt not just our hearts, but also the global stage.

  • Gloc-9 and Abaddon Share An Inspiring Message With Their Latest Release”BLGBGN”

    Gloc-9 and Abaddon Share An Inspiring Message With Their Latest Release”BLGBGN”

    Award-winning artist and rap phenom Gloc-9 has just dropped his latest single, “BLGBGN,” featuring fellow rapper Abaddon. This new track continues Gloc-9’s impressive streak of monthly releases throughout the year, as he continues to share new music every month.

    “BLGBGN” is an empowering song that encourages listeners to embrace life to the fullest. The track delivers the message that life is a journey filled with mistakes, challenges, and fears, but it’s essential to take chances and make the most of every moment. As the artists express, “Huwag kang matakot na magmahal at masaktan, isang beses lang ang buhay, wala nang balikan,” reminding us that we only live once and there are no do-overs.

    In collaboration with Abaddon, Gloc-9 emphasizes the importance of perseverance and the pursuit of dreams. The lyrics inspire listeners to not take life too seriously, to reach for the clouds, and to navigate through the seas of life even without a predetermined destination. “Abutin mo and ulap, languyin mo and dagat, bumiyahe ng walang patutunguhan, simulan mong lumakad, balagbagin mo ang ‘yong istorya,” they declare, encouraging everyone to keep moving forward and to craft their own unique stories.

  • Ed Sheeran Releases New Single “A Little More” Alongside Comedic Official Video Starring Rupert Grint & Nathalie Emmanuel!

    Ed Sheeran Releases New Single “A Little More” Alongside Comedic Official Video Starring Rupert Grint & Nathalie Emmanuel!

    August 8th, 2025 Ed Sheeran releases his brand-new single, “A Little More”, alongside a music video where Ed brings back Rupert Grint for an all-new instalment. Fans can listen to the song here and watch the music video here.

    Witty and sharp in its lyricism, and underpinned with blues elements through its sound, “A Little More” carries with it a message of self-preservation and moral courage. Sheeran wrote the song alongside DAVE (who previously worked with Sheeran on “Nothing On You”, “F64”), Blake Slatkin (Charli XCX, Kid Laroi), Cirkut (The Weeknd, Lil Nas X) and Johnny McDaid (Sheeran’s longtime collaborator) – production comes from Blake Slatkin, and Cirkut.

    In the lead-up to the release, fans of both Sheeran and Grint have been piecing together a trail of cryptic social media clues — including posts from Ed’s official accounts that appeared to be taken over by Rupert himself. Longtime listeners may remember Grint’s role in the 2011 “Lego House” video, and now he returns for a surprise cameo in the visual for “A Little More”.

    Directed by Emil Nava (Post Malone, Dua Lipa), the comedic music video picks up where “Lego House” left off. Rupert Grint reprises his role as an obsessive Sheeran fan, now released from prison and attempting to live a normal life. Yet, Ed seems to appear everywhere he turns, leaving him increasingly unsettled. Just as things start to look up including meeting his future wife, played by Nathalie Emmanuel, the wedding day brings an unexpected twist. As Grint’s character stands at the altar and scans the crowd, he’s shocked to see a sea of wedding guests appear as Ed Sheeran… only to discover an even greater surprise when he lifts his bride’s veil.

    Ed Sheeran – “A Little More” (Official Music Video)

    Today’s track is the follow-up to Sheeran’s single “Sapphire”, which he worked on with Arijit Singh. The pair released a special version of the track last month, with Ed singing a chorus in Hindi and Punjabi, and Arijit singing a verse in Hindi and Punjabi and a chorus in English. The result was a blissful cross-cultural fusion of languages and cultures, adorning the song’s celebration of love.

    With these standout tracks leading the way, stay tuned for Ed Sheeran’s new album, ‘Play’, releasing on September 12!

    About Ed Sheeran
    Ed Sheeran is set to release his new album ‘Play’ on 12th September 2025. After closing the chapter on his Mathematics series, Ed Sheeran is finally back and stepping boldly into a fresh new phase for 2025. An artist known for constantly evolving, Sheeran’s latest album, ‘Play‘ finds him exploring new musical ground through collaboration with producers and musicians from around the world, as well as diving deeper into the timeless sounds and themes that have made him one of the world’s best-loved pop artists. Inspired in part by his exposure to Indian and Persian musical cultures—and their surprising connections to the Irish folk tradition he grew up with, through shared scales, rhythms, and melodies—he explored this borderless musical language, giving the album its distinctive, fresh edge.
    On more familiar ground, Sheeran also reminds us why he remains the most influential singer-songwriter of his generation, delivering a series of stunning ballads and acoustic-driven songs. The result is a collection that plays with both the familiar and the new, creating a bold, pop-driven sound that only Ed Sheeran could deliver — a vibrant showcase of his artistry that feels both exciting and transformative, and promises to be one of the defining albums of the year.
    Ed Sheeran is no stranger to Southeast Asia, having included Malaysia, Taiwan, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, and the Philippines as stops on his 2024 ‘+ – = ÷ x (Mathematics) Tour’. He continues to see strong streaming numbers with the 🇵🇭 Philippines at #3 and 🇮🇩 Indonesia at #7 among his top 10 global streaming markets.

  • Nonoy Zuñiga Celebrates 50 Years with Star-Studded Anniversary Concert: “Beyond Gold: Songs of a Lifetime”

    Nonoy Zuñiga Celebrates 50 Years with Star-Studded Anniversary Concert: “Beyond Gold: Songs of a Lifetime”

    Philippines’ Pop Ballad King, Nonoy Zuñiga, is set to celebrate his 50th anniversary as a professional singer with a grand concert titled Beyond Gold: Songs of a Lifetime on September 5 at the Newport Performing Arts Theater. Joining him on this golden milestone are special guests Kuh Ledesma, Rey Valera, Marco Sison, and Lani Misalucha, along with special participation from Andrea Gutierrez, Isha Ponti, and Raymond Gorospe.

    At a press conference held on Thursday, August 7, Zuñiga shared his excitement over the upcoming show, which he promises will take audiences on a nostalgic trip through the decades. “I’ll be doing the song for the disabled, which I don’t normally sing,” he said, referring to “Ako Ay Ikaw Rin”, the title track from his debut album. The song not only catapulted him to fame but also earned him a double platinum status and won Album of the Year at both the Awit Awards and Cecille Awards.

    When asked how the concept came together, Zuñiga explained that he had long planned to mark this personal milestone with something special. Though Beyond Gold is technically a solo concert, he invited long-time industry friends to help showcase the many eras of his storied career. Concert director Calvin Neria echoed this sentiment, saying, “The Beyond Gold: Songs of a Lifetime concert is a collaboration with Mr. Zuñiga. We’re excited to show all sides of him—from his days as a folk singer to the OPM icon he is now. We promise you a very classy and nostalgic show.”

    The press event also featured live performances by Zuñiga and two of his opening acts, Ponti and Gutierrez, giving attendees a glimpse of what’s to come.

    Spanning five decades in a constantly evolving Original Pilipino Music (OPM) scene, Zuñiga’s enduring presence is a feat in itself. He reflected on how the industry has changed, particularly the shift away from physical albums. “I wish fans still had the choice to stream and also buy physical albums,” he shared. Nonetheless, he expressed gratitude upon learning that he currently has nearly 300,000 monthly listeners on Spotify, with several of his songs enjoying multi-million streams, proof that his music continues to resonate with audiences across generations.

    Looking to the future, Zuñiga expressed a desire to collaborate with today’s top OPM artists such as Erik Santos, Daryl Ong, Morissette Amon, and KZ Tandingan, a testament to his openness to bridging classic and contemporary sounds.

    As the final lineup continues to take shape, Zuñiga also revealed one more dream: a duet with the Megastar Sharon Cuneta.

    Nonoy Zuñiga, along with his special guests, is looking forward to performing for you at the Newport Performing Arts Theater on September 5. Tickets are still available at TicketWorld online and outlets.

  • XYVRL Sings About One-Sided Relationships in “HOTNCOLD”

    XYVRL Sings About One-Sided Relationships in “HOTNCOLD”

    XYVRL has officially released her latest single “HOTNCOLD” on June 27, 2025. This marks her second release of the year, following the success of her previous track, “LILAGIRL.”

    “HOTNCOLD” is a chill, pop, soul, and RnB track that talks about the struggles of an unfair relationship. The song addresses the feelings of giving your all to a partner who does not reciprocate, and XYVRL’s lyrics convey this sentiment clearly: “You don’t deserve me. Binigay ko sa’yo ang lahat when you were thirsty. I was there for you pero baby wala ka for me. So tell me sino ba ang totoo sa atin?”

    The title “HOTNCOLD” effectively captures the conflicting emotions of warmth and closeness with your partner, while still having a cold, distant divide in the relationship. While the song has a laidback and easy-to-listen-to vibe, the lyrics carry a heavier message that encourages listeners to immerse themselves in the deeper meaning behind the music. “Mainit, mainit, mainit, mainit, pag kay katabi. Pero kahit magkadikit ay laging malamig ang ating gabi.”

    In a surprise appearance, XYVRL performed “HOTNCOLD” at the “Find Your Kislap” single launch event of fellow Universal Records artist last June 26 at 225 Bar in Quezon City. Fans who witnessed XYVRL’s performance of the song didn’t have to wait too long to hear the official track since since it was released the next day. “HOTNCOLD” is now available on all major streaming platforms, with an interesting lyric video on the YouTube account of Universal Records.

    VERSE:
    You’ve been ringing up my line
    Say you need me but it happens every time
    Kung totoo ang sinasabi mo
    Wanna know kailan ka hihinto
    Aking pinto ay laging nakabukas
    Do you even think about all of the love and trust?
    ‘Di ko nga magawang magsinungaling sa’yo
    Sino ba talagang may pakana sa’tin?
    Talagang ako nalang ba ang may pake sa’tin?
    Pasakit lang ang bigay sa’kin
    Lagi ng ganto ano bang nangyari sa’tin?

    PRE-CHORUS:
    Did you even consider the thought of us together?
    Hanggang dito nalang ba tayo wala bang forever?
    I can’t figure it out cuz lies come out your mouth
    Hanggang dito nalang ba talaga tayo?

    CHORUS:
    Mainit, mainit, mainit, mainit, pag kay katabi
    Pero kahit magkadikit ay laging malamig ang ating gabi

    VERSE:
    You don’t deserve me
    Binigay ko sa’yo ang lahat when you were thirsty
    I was there for you pero baby wala ka for me
    So tell me sino ba ang totoo sa atin?
    Cuz you so fake ass babe, don’t wanna say your name
    Kunin mo na lahat ng gamit mo, I hate your face
    But we both love the game, pag katabi ka babe
    We so hot but you so cold to me, I guess that’s it

    PRE-CHORUS:
    Did you even consider the thought of us together?
    Hanggang dito nalang ba tayo wala bang forever?
    I can’t figure it out cuz lies come out your mouth
    Hanggang dito nalang ba talaga tayo?

    CHORUS:
    Mainit, mainit, mainit, mainit, pag kay katabi
    Pero kahit magkadikit ay laging malamig ang ating gabi
    Mainit, mainit, mainit, mainit, pag kay katabi
    Pero kahit magkadikit ay laging malamig ang ating gabi
