    Fern Releases new single off His "Loveless" EP - SOBER UP
    As he gears up for the release of his upcoming second EP "LOVELESS," singer-songwriter-producer Fern. returns with another infectious track with his latest single "Sober Up." Prior to this track's release, Fern. has been gaining more momentum in his career. The 19 year-old has been more visible in music gigs around the Metro, producing tracks for different artists, joining shoe brand PONY as one of its ambassadors,  and receiving more and more support for his tracks. His previous single "Only You" received worldwide support from Spotify, having been featured on the New Music Friday International playlist - reaching countries such as the United States, Denmark, Iceland, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, among many others. Only You now has over 800,000+ streams, one of three tracks that are about to reach 1 million streams on the music platform. Two songs from his self-titled debut EP have already enjoyed this feat, with "Into You" having recently crossed the 3 million mark, and "Lie 2 Me" having over 1.6 million streams. His latest track "Sober Up" builds on the signature sound Fern. is known for, all while adding a fresh vibe and a highly-addictive hook to a song that explores more on the intricacies of youth and trying to make sense of different experiences of being in the industry. Describing his latest work, Fern. says "Drugs, money, women or any kind of addiction is something most, if not all of us go through. When I wrote this song I found myself in a deep hole of addiction, and I found comfort in that space, which we all know is a very unhealthy way of thinking — but somehow I felt empowered. So in this song I presented myself as this singer with very dark thoughts and lives a life that resembles that of a “rockstar, which is something I found very “cool” at the time. At the same time, it was an attempt to mask my insecurities and to prove a point to myself." Sober Up is gearing up to be yet another hit for the young artist, as it provides an irresistible vibe that will get people hooked in no time. Watch out for more singles and his second EP "LOVELESS" later this year.

    Basti Artadi Releases "Ayoko Lab Song"
      OPM ICON BASTI ARTADI RELEASES HIS LATEST SINGLE AND MV FOR HIS IRONICALLY TITLED ROCK BALLAD “AYOKO LAB SONG”    Signaling yet another landmark on his quest to adventurously explore other musical possibilities, BASTI ARTADI - one of the most iconic vocalists/frontmen in the Philippine hard rock scene – proudly unveils his newest single and MV for “Ayoko Lab Song.”     Featuring a collaboration with Plan of Fools – a veritable who’s-who of musicians including longtime cohort (and Razorback bassist) Louie Talan (who coincidentally wrote the single and plays lap steel, banjo and acoustic guitar with the group) – Artadi purposely doesn’t hold back in letting his country roots show, as the harmonica-laden intro sets a slow-tempo pace for what could be his closest attempt at a radio-ready ballad, complete with a piano, synth and string build towards the end. It’s also notable that the single is sung entirely in Tagalog, another sure-fire sign that Basti has grown comfortable as an artist who chooses to be brutally honest and fearless in taking-on unexplored themes and styles.    “Sometime in the 90s, Razorback was playing onstage and absolutely killing it, and suddenly, there was this one guy in the crowd who would shout at the top of his lungs ‘Gusto ko Black Sabbat [sic}! Ayoko Lab Song!’ laughs Artadi as he shares the origin story of the ironically-titled tune. “Man, I’ve been holding on to that title since the 90s, so it’s about time I put it out into the universe!”   Simultaneously, the official music video for “Ayoko Lab Song” has also been released online after much wait, and fans of Artadi will surely get a kick out of the almost-comical-almost-tragic narrative of Director Jett Leyco. Starring real-life sweethearts, theater actor and radio jock Jobim Javier and Sid Buan (drummer of all-female hard rock group Catfight…), Artadi also characteristically takes a break from the main spotlight in the video and does well as a supporting star of the ensemble, without failing to show – you guessed it- another side of his personality.    Fans can now grab a copy of the latest single on all digital music platforms like iTunes and Spotify, and can view the music video on   youtube.com ( https://youtu.be/zT9LpRccFZ8 ) and while you're at it, subscribe to his youtube.com channel (bit.ly/BastiPH ).   Currently, Basti Artadi continues to furiously tour throughout the metro and the rest OF THE archipelago, wowing audiences with both the might and fury of his classic hits and his most recent material off Phantom Maker. Be sure to follow him on social media via facebook.com/bastiartadi and on Instagram through @bastiartadi73.

The instant hit has now over 115 million streams on Spotify, soared up the Billboard Hot 100 Chart within a week of its release, and quickly rose to Top 13 on the UK Singles Chart, becoming Lauv’s first ever Top 15 single in the United Kingdom.

The song has spent a total of 13 weeks at #1 on Billboard’s Emerging Artists Chart, and it has gone double platinum in the US, triple platinum in Australia, and platinum in other multiple markets.

    SHANTI DOPE DROPS MUCH AWAITED-NEW SINGLE 'AMATZ'
    Coming off of his roller-coaster year 2018, rap phenomenon Shanti Dope is ready to drop a much-awaited new track. Since the release of his "Materyal" EP in December 2017, Shanti has enjoyed universal success - bringing in over 40 million Spotify streams for his smash hit "Nadarang" (with its accompanying music video garnering over 26 million hits on YouTube), touring the whole Philippines and multiple states in the US, and collaborating with OPM sensations IV of Spades, and  international stars such as Krayzie Bone (of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony) and Mimi on the track "Crazy", as well as appearing on the track "Almost Love" with singer-songwriter Sabrina Carpenter.   Official Music video for Shanti Dope's hit song Nadarang   This 2019, Shanti is dropping what is sure to be another hit with his newest track 'Amatz.' The song, produced by long-time collaborator Klumcee, features what fans have come to love with the rapper-songwriter with an infectious hook and having lyrics close to his life, while also featuring a new Oriental flavor that will keep fans and new listeners wanting more. And after the year that has been, the 17 year-old showcases an evolved style, now having more hard-hitting verses to his track.       Talking more about the track, producer Klumcee says "The song Amatz’ message is about having a natural high - being one with nature, and an awareness about our environment in society, which is bombarded by synthetics and chemicals. We made a conscious effort to make it sound like a banger so that a lot of people would enjoy and feel the vibe and message behind the song." Asked more about what is in store for Shanti this year, the collaborator says that "as always, you should expect the unexpected [from Shanti] this coming year."   'Amatz' marks the beginning of a new era for Shanti Dope, and with its release, all points lead to another fiery-hot year for this young and relentless rap phenomenon.    Amatz will be available on iTunes, Apple Music, Spotify, Deezer, and Amazon on March 22, 2019, under Universal Records.   #ShantiDopeAmatz #ShantiDope #UniversalRecordsPH

    Agsunta Signed Off
    Written By: Arem V. Bolalin   “Masakit man at mahirap man, kailangan na muna naming itigil ‘to. Kami naman muna.”   Today, January 30, 2019, a local band who’s well-known for their song covers, Agsunta posted a Facebook video stating they are now officially “signing off”.     “From then on, parang four years na, ‘noh? Nagkaroon pa tayo ng #AgsuntaSongRequests, #AgsuntaJamSessions, tapos nagkaroon na rin ng #AgsuntaOriginals. Pero sorry po, wala munang kantahan ngayon. Chill chill lang tayo,” Agsunta said.   The band already deleted their videos on their official YouTube channel, and their fans are both shocked and sad about it.       Numerous supporters and random Facebook users shared their different sentiments and messages for the band.   “This is fine. You also have your own lives that you need to focus on and take care of. We respect that.”   “Thank you for making OPM much better and more fun to hear…”   However, the band is still accepting gigs and guestings. They will now just focus more on themselves. Their official Facebook page is still there so let's just wait for further announcement and hope that they'll be back very soon.

    Sud Releases "Sana Bumalik"
    From frontman Sud's back tat which means, "From delight we came into existence", we now exist in delight from all the good that's been happening to the band and all our peers in the scene. A current line-up of 5 members strong with Sud Ballecer on vocals and guitar,Jimbo Cuenco on drums, Kohl Aguilar on keys, Carlos Dela Fuente on sax, Raisa Racelis on bass, SUD is still on a mission for your pleasure, but way better and way more different. “Sana Bumalik” is a song that talks about the simplest, most basic core of longing for something you’ve lost. May it be a break up, death in the family, friendship, what have you, losing something you never wished to lose is always painful. And the song talks about just that- the dark place we find ourselves in when we’re in state of grief. All the conversations you have with a memory. The pleading for something you know you can never have again. Line per line is vivid display of defeat, irony, indecision, wastage, and desolation all rolled up in one bite-size sushi of a song. But as much as the track is undemanding and elementary, the music behind the straightforward lyrics is just as grand and immense; almost like the perfect musical score to a downcast scene in a film. This is also SUD’s first heartbreak song. A tearjerker of a soundtrack even for the happiest of people. SUD is OPM’s hottest when it comes to the band scene, so don’t forget to like their official Facebook page for updates on their amazing music. You can also follow them on Twitter and Instagram, and catch them in videos by subscribing to their official YouTube channel.   For only the best in international and local music, like and follow Warner Music Philippines’ official Facebook page, Twitter and Instagram.
