    SB19 PAGTATAG! THE DOCUMENTARY Now Showing in Philippine Cinemas

    P-Pop kings, SB19, open up about tour setbacks and career challenges in a new documentary film!

    SB19’s highly anticipated film, PAGTATAG! THE DOCUMENTARY marks its nationwide theatrical debut today!

    SB19

    The much-buzzed documentary provides an inside look into the group’s collective and individual experiences on tour while trying to navigate their ascension to global pop stardom with a crippling fear of anxiety and pressure.

    Aside from chronicling the P-Pop powerhouse’s journey as they “move forward to a new era of music, career, and emancipation,” the concert documentary also unravels never-before-seen moments that put their resilience and commitment to the test.

    “Part of what makes the film even more special is that it doesn’t sugar-coat the learnings and experiences we’ve endured during the entire era of the PAGTATAG! tour and album release,” SB19 shares in a press statement. “The year-long run was filled with multiple setbacks that added mental and emotional distress. But as the title explains it best, the documentary will show how we bounced back from the adversities in life and career, and how we managed to mount a series of shows despite going through a lot of internal and collective struggles. We hope that through this movie, we will inspire our A’TIN to become stronger and more resilient when they face a similar ordeal in a not-so-distant future.”

    SB19’s PABLO, currently serving as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of 1Z Entertainment, emphasized that they’ve always thought about producing a documentary that captures the story behind the stage and the little moments that define the human aspects of mounting a tour of this scale and ambition.

    “We’re grateful to First Light Studios and Jed Regala for helping us turn our vision into a reality,” PABLO reveals. “We’re lucky to have a team that understands the power of collaboration.”

    The exclusive screenings will take place from August 28 to September 1 in cinemas nationwide.

    Just recently, SB19 emerged triumphant in Billboard’s Fan Army Face-off, winning for the second consecutive year against some of the biggest and most iconic international music stars. The chart-topping five-piece act garnered 56.3 percent of the votes during the final round, beating Barbadian megastar Rihanna. The GENTO hitmakers also represented the Philippines in Billboard Korea’s “Billboard K POWER 100” in Seoul yesterday (August 27), receiving the Voices of Asia Award for their groundbreaking contribution to putting Filipino music on the global stage.

  • International breakout star Dhruv releases debut album, Private Blizzard

    International breakout star Dhruv releases debut album, Private Blizzard

    Private Blizzard, the debut album from breakout vocalist, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Dhruv, is out today via Little Worry/RCA Records—get it HERE.

    “When I was in high school and felt completely alone in my queerness, music held my hand and saw me through my private blizzard,” Dhruv says. “In this latest period of life, which has been turbulent in different ways, I have again found a sense of rootedness in making songs. No matter how far I stray, it’s what it has always come back to. I’m so grateful for what this album has done for me and so happy for it to be out in the world.”

    Private Blizzard features Dhruv’s new single “One and Only” alongside previously released tracks “Grieving,” “Speed of Light,” “How?,” which Ones to Watch praised as “spellbinding,” and “Tragedy,” Dhruv’s first new music of 2024 which he performed on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” for his late night T.V. debut in February.

    Recorded in Nashville with Grammy-nominated producer JT Daly (Noah Kahan, Bully, Benson Boone), Private Blizzard reflects the full range of emotions Dhruv felt as he set out to make his debut album from a place of creative honesty. “I started in a place of numbness, and I didn’t really understand why I felt that way,” Dhruv shares. “The songs that I started out with were trying to help me unpack that feeling. The further along I got, I started feeling better—I just felt lighter.”

    Allowing intuition to guide him more than in the past, Dhruv focused on developing his vocal range to give himself a larger canvas to express his changing emotions. From a sonic perspective, he and Daly worked together to arrive at a sound that incorporates classic live elements while retaining a modern feel. The result is an album that, above all else, feels true to Dhruv.

    Born and raised in Singapore and of Indian descent, Dhruv’s fascination with music dates back to the age of five, hearing Bollywood soundtracks on the T.V. at his grandmother’s house. After years of writing songs privately, he put his studies at Yale on hold to make a go of music in earnest and began producing from his bedroom.

    Dhruv burst into the spotlight after his 2019 single “double take” exploded globally, racking up hundreds of millions of streams worldwide. Soon after, he signed with Little Worry and RCA and, in 2022, he released his debut EP Rapunzel. He’s toured with Joji, sold out headline stops across the U.S. and the U.K. and a handful of dates in Asia in 2023, including two rare headline shows in India. NME praised Dhruv for creating “vital, anthemic” pop, while PAPER celebrated the power of his “intimate love songs” and CLASH hailed his “open and completely relatable” songwriting.

  • Barbie Almalbis explains overcoming internal struggles on new single “homeostasis”

    Barbie Almalbis explains overcoming internal struggles on new single “homeostasis”

    The song serves as the second single off her upcoming fifth album, to be released at the end of the year.

    Following the critically acclaimed comeback single “Desperate Hours” last month, Barbie Almalbis makes her early-awaited return to deliver another eclectic follow-up to mark the continuation of a new music era.

    The award-winning singer-songwriter has released her second single, “homeostasis,” which was derived from a biological term that illustrates our body’s regulating process as a way to adjust to changing external conditions.

    “I’m no scientist, so I’m using this concept very loosely and explaining it in the simple way I understand it,” explains the Dahilan pop-rock visionary. “It’s the process by which our body always returns to equilibrium, a balanced state, like how we involuntarily sweat when we’re too hot and shiver when we’re too cold. It’s the same with emotions: our body doesn’t want us to stay too ecstatic or sad; it tries to bring us back to a steady state.”

    Almalbis was undergoing a very challenging phase in her life and felt the need to channel her frustrations into art. She couldn’t do anything to change the situation, so she thought of making a song that perfectly describes what she was experiencing at that moment.

    The influential music figure reveals, “Homeostasis was giving me hope, that every day my body is going to adapt, I’d feel less and less terrible in time because it has that built-in function.”

    Her constant collaborator Nick Lazaro of Eclectic Kiss arranged and produced the song, with Almalbis penning the material on guitarlele and brother/bandmate Karel Honasan writing the instrumental parts. The result is another riveting, non-conventional track that combines Almalbis’ confessional and poetic lyrics with edgy, art-rock production and minimal synths: think of St. Vincent or PJ Harvey, but with a more saccharine take in terms of vocal delivery.

    “I love how Lazaro put all the dance and synth-pop elements on it, as well as the more aggressive guitar riffs,” says Almalbis. “I’ve been interested in that dance pop/rock genre for a while. I had some songs like Run For Cover and Wicked Heart, but I love how Nick was able to do it this way, where the rock and edgy sound is more present; it kind of sounds closer to how we play these songs live too.”

    Barbie Almalbis’ “homeostasis” is out now on all digital music platforms worldwide.

  • Mikee Quintos’ latest single “Senyales” brings light to the uncertainties of love

    Mikee Quintos’ latest single “Senyales” brings light to the uncertainties of love

    After her bubbly debut single “Just Enough” in 2021, Sparkle artist Mikee Quintos returns with a new single under GMA Playlist, “Senyales,” now available on digital platforms worldwide. 

    “Senyales” explores the uncertainties of a blossoming relationship, drawing inspiration from the singer-actress’ real-life romance with her current boyfriend, Paul Salas. The song’s cover art is based on a real photo of them before they officially became a couple. 

    Mikee dedicates the song to him, especially the titular lyric “Ilang senyales pa ba?” as she recalls how long it took Paul to realize that the feelings were mutual. 

    “Minsan kasi ayaw natin sabihin ng diretso, gusto natin mauna sila umamin,” she explains with how girls tend to opt for roundabout confessions of love. “Medyo ang tagal din ng senyales ko kay Paul bago niya makuha na gusto ko na rin siya.”

    The singer-actress also hopes to bring back the easy sing-along songs from the 90s and 2000s with the relaxing vibes of “Senyales.” “It’s pop, but not like upbeat pop. It’s relaxed pop. I imagine people listening to it when they drive.” Mikee states that she misses songs anyone can sing from start to end, which she wants to achieve with her new single.

    “Senyales” is Mikee’s second single under GMA Playlist. Although she is still a relatively newcomer to the music industry, she admits that the new single is a step closer to the fulfillment she seeks in her music. “I feel more comfortable and relaxed with this song and this genre.” 

    As a singer, Mikee notes many factors in her songs, such as getting her message across and if she is being heard. “Iba ‘yung naririnig sa pinapakinggan. Pinapakinggan ba ako, gusto ba ako pakinggan?” As a music lover, Mikee hopes her listeners can connect with her songs the same way she does when she listens to other songs.

    “Senyales” resonates with people who struggle to express their overwhelming feelings. “Yung hindi nila malabas kaso pumuputok na yung feelings nila with love. Ito yun. This is that song.”

    Listen to Mikee’s single “Senyales” on all digital platforms beginning July 26.

    With a voice that stirs the soul, Sparkle artist Mitzi Josh introduces her debut single under GMA Playlist, “Could Get Used To You.” Now available on digital platforms worldwide, the acoustic ballad feels like an embrace – warm, comforting, and filled with love.

    The song captures the feeling of finding someone you can’t imagine life without, making it a perfect addition to a wedding playlist.

    “The first time I heard it, sobrang na-in love agad ako,” shares Mitzi. “It’s been a while since I recorded it and I’ve been dying to share it with everyone. I can imagine this song being played at a wedding – that kind of love song.

    The song’s lyrics, penned by Rina Mercado, paint a picture of a couple deeply in love and comfortable with each other’s company. Although Mitzi has previously contributed to the soundtrack of GMA’s hit series “Royal Blood” with the song “Balik,” “Could Get Used To You,” is her first official single and Mitzi is more than eager to focus on her music career.

    “I’m torn between acting and music, but for now, I want to concentrate on my music. I’m excited to explore different genres and showcase my growth as an artist. I want to join musicals and my dream role is to be ‘Joy’ of ‘Ang Huling El Bimbo: The Musical.’ I’d also love to try out for international musicals.

    Prepare to be swept away with Mitzi Josh’s “Could Get Used To You,” under GMA Playlist, now available on major streaming platforms worldwide.

  • Secondhand Serenade Adds Day 2 for Manila Fans

    Secondhand Serenade Adds Day 2 for Manila Fans

    Proving the millennium adage “EMO IS NOT DEAD” to be true, fervent Filipino fans of the genre will surely be stoked that SECONDHAND SERENADE is adding another show for the Asia Tour 2024 at the New Frontier Theater on August 29th.

    Due to the overwhelming response and immediate action of local Filipino fans, tickets to the original August 30th show quickly sold out. Both PULP Live World and Skesh Entertainment heeded the call of loyal fans from all over the country for another chance to witness and enjoy an evening of nostalgic hit tunes and all the right emo feels with like-minded fans.

    In 2005, singer/songwriter/guitarist John Vesely – armed with an acoustic guitar and a recording of multi-tracked vocals – released a demo via his MySpace page under the moniker Secondhand Serenade. Deftly combining his strong online presence with a tight gigging ethic in his local area of San Francisco, Vesely received tremendous support –selling 15,000 copies of his album on his own, and garnering millions of plays on MySpace – making him the number one independent artist for months on the social media platform.

    But it was 2008’s groundbreaking single “Fall For You,” (from his second release A Twist In My Story…) that made Secondhand Serenade a household name all over the world. The song – a timeless anthem of unrequited love. Filipino fans were especially drawn to the anthem and proved to be among his most rabid and loyal followers in the world.

    Last February 2024, Secondhand Serenade created an exciting stir on his social media pages via a throwback post of his music video for the single “Your Call,” while hinting at his return to Manila after more than a decade.

    And now it’s finally happening – TWICE. So there is no excuse not to relive and experience the magic of Secondhand Senerade’s music.

    Tickets for August 29’s SECONDHAND SERENADE Asia Tour 2024 Live in Manila are available via TicketNet outlets nationwide and through ticketnet.com.ph. Ticket prices are as follows:

    TICKET PRICES:

    • VVIP with Meet & Greet — Php10,000
