Who Am I To You is a song dedicated to a friend of Kenneth Amores himself that passed away. The artist turned a blind eye on how his friend desperately tried to give him the love that she wanted. “I know no apology nor prayer would get you back here but I wrote this song as my way of trying to understand how much I meant to you. I’m sorry for letting things end this way. I hope you’re doing good up there. Rest in peace.” As Amores “Who Am I To You”, he was hurting and can’t imagine how painful it was for her friend. But maybe it was toxic of him to find his worth in someone else.

Compared to her previously released singles, expect an unmistakably sweeter blend of pop and spirit on Tala Gil’s latest offering, “cherry soda” out now under Universal Records Philippines.
The sparkling new song has what it takes to be both your new euphoric club anthem and a powerful track for your abrupt and flirty getaways, of course, with a special someone. (WATCH OFFICIAL LYRIC VIDEO HERE)
There’s no denying that "cherry soda" is a funky track that captures the energy of keeping a budding relationship private but not a secret. Written by Tala herself and co-produced by Cavill and Vintageboy, the track's sweet, modern melody and funky production will keep listeners engaged and entertained, feeding off its mood.
“take me away, and i’ll be good to you / maybe someday i’ll find the courage / to leave your lips on mine / if they don’t know, we’ll both be fine,” Tala sings in a slightly playful and sultry manner.

The stripped-down track is a Tagalog rendition of “Good For A Time,” released in May 2022 as a collaborative effort between these two Asian acts
Filipina singer-songwriter Bea Lorenzo teams up with Singapore-based artist Benjamin Kheng for the second time with the release of “Panandalian,” a Tagalog rendition of their initial collab track “Good For A Time.” The folk-pop track is also accompanied by the original and an acoustic English version in this bundle.
“Good For A Time,” previously released in March 2022, has nearly 2 million streams to date and growing.
With lyrics translated by Jarlo Bâse, “Panandalian,” meaning ‘momentary’ in Tagalog, breathes new life to its English counterpart and comes with a lyric video featuring the same dreamy visuals that accentuate the bittersweet transience of a relationship.
Kheng adds, “being separated by miles due to the pandemic gave an added depth to the reality of the song. The song’s story felt like it could live in any world... less

Jim Bacarro, Cheats’ lead singer, guitarist, keyboard player, and composer of their new single “Kapit,” says that the lyrics of this song were taken from an experience he had in his early twenties. “I think that's why it's so simplistic,” he says, “because [at] that time, life was pretty simple, [so] you [would] desire something and you couldn't get it.”
Jim says that “Kapit,” like much of Cheats’ recent Tagalog material, was originally composed in English, and if he felt like it, it would be rewritten in a different language. He says that this explains the general feel of the song, which evokes some of the songwriting of the Manila Sound movement in the 1970s. This is a track that has a very contemporary feel but stands in a tradition of original Filipino pop music.
Listeners of “Kapit” will discover not just the major sonic surprise of this remarkable track, but the way that Cheats puts it all together throughout. Their sultry vocal work appears against... less

Many of his hits have become streaming staples for audiences not only in the Philippines but across the region. He has set records on Spotify that mark his status as one of the hottest hit-makers in the local music industry. And with his new single “Yakap,” his first release as a member of the Republic Records Philippines family, the singer-songwriter once again demonstrates the power of his musical skills.
Zack recorded and produced “Yakap,” which is about the very familiar experience of admitting one’s affection for someone else. In writing this song, he says that he was reminiscing about such experiences in the past. A deeply personal song like this, we might add, is sure to resonate with those who listen to it. To paraphrase the 80s band The Police, has anyone tried to tell someone the feelings they have for another in their heart? With a song like this, perhaps people will remember how they would answer that... less
The heartfelt track weaves a melodic pop-rock sound with bluesy riffs and tasteful guitar solos
With over 240 million streams on all digital music platforms combined, NOBITA has established themselves as one of the most prominent breakthrough bands of the last two years. Their most notable smashes “Ikaw Lang” and “Unang Sayaw” have maintained a cultural foothold with its encapsulation of this generation’s unique experiences when it comes to romantic love—young or otherwise.
Fast forward to 2022, the five-piece act is back with another hugot anthem that successfully turns grief and loss into another potential hit. Chronicling the path towards healing, NOBITA’s new single “Paano Uusad” captures someone’s inability to move on after witnessing the tragic demise of a loved one.
According to the band, the song was inspired by an OPM icon who took away his life due to depression. “It’s all about the people who keep wondering why they were left behind by someone dear to them.”... less

For those of us old enough to remember, the rock music station NU 107 carried a couple of songs on its playlist by the local ska ensemble PUT3SKA. Those tracks were as catchy as one could get, and like all ska, songs featured an intense horn section. These horns are making a comeback in the latest mix of CHNDTR’s recent release “Mine”, which dropped more than a month ago. The mix, dubbed “Mine (Cheesy Version)” promises to offer a different take on a song that’s inspired, among other things, by 1990s love songs and their bilingual lyrics. Its composers, Chin Detera and Niko Bacani, say that it took half a day to write and a lot of convincing that the song was worth recording. The song talks about the familiar experience of close friends becoming lovers and the endurance such relationships might have, and with this new “cheesy” take, the band wants listeners to appreciate “Mine” with a greater sense of “kilig” than before. CHNDTR tells us that “Mine”... less

The Sundown, a band from Cebu’s burgeoning music scene, is gaining a reputation for their musical prowess on stage and off, and there is no better way to demonstrate their abilities than this fresh take on a classic pop form. “Last Dance” is a power ballad that evokes those slow dances at prom night, the moment when a love song comes on and a couple takes to the floor. In fact, Aaron, the band’s lead singer, tells us that this song is so true to this experience that some of the lines were actually uttered by one of them!
Listeners might wonder if “Last Dance” does remind them of an era where the power ballad reigned supreme on the pop charts (and we may add, on Philippine FM radio at that time). The 1980s were a potent time for this form, with soaring vocals and memorable melodies giving voice to potent emotional themes. The Sundown says that their inspirations indeed drew from prominent acts of that era who were masters of the form, including Phil Collins, U2, Roxette, and Berlin.

The VVS Collective has a new single featuring R!S of 8Ballin’, and it is called “Beep.” What is it about this new single that works? First, we can say something about the talent it takes to pull this off. The four members of the VVS Collective, namely Gabrang, Tommy Wave, Max Dylan, and King Promdi (the group’s beat-maker), began collaborating after meeting each other at a hip-hop gig. They say that it took a while for the group to become what it is now, with different members joining and leaving the crew at various times. The initials in their group’s name are probably enigmatic: “Very Very Slight [Inclusions].” But what isn’t enigmatic is how these individuals managed to bring together their skills (very, very slightly) to achieve the goal of perfecting the craft of hip-hop. Second, bringing in R!S as a featured artist shows that mutual respect for each other’s art is what... less

Two Friends team up with MOD SUN on their latest release, “Timebomb,” a sunny song about the highs and lows of summer love. Out July 1st via Helix Records, the song draws inspiration from the pop-punk sounds of our youth, with MOD SUN’s playful lyrics painting a picture of romance that’s as explosive as it is exciting.
MOD SUN connected easily with the duo, explaining that “there's something special about the authenticity of Two Friends. They are clearly doing what they love + almost more importantly to me at least, being themselves. I love this song and had an amazing time making it with them. I got to leave my comfort zone of some of the vocal parts and in turn actually learned some new skills while creating it.”

Fern. had two key collaborators on this project, Sonny Zero and veteran beat-maker and musician Lustbass. Working with these two musicians, he created a song that, for him, represents another stage in his musical journey, one where he engages with various sonic palettes. “[The song]…became my place for experimentation,” he says, “and a lot of the sounds put in the song [feel] very different.” In this attempt to sound different, he brought in Lustbass, known for his electronic R&B and soul-flavored music. The result is a song that highlights Fern’s songwriting chops but differs from his past tunes with the adoption of a sound that evokes the groove of music, past and present.

Filipina singer-songwriter Clara Benin approaches dreamy teen romance with emotional candidness on her new single “Affable Dork”—out today via OFFMUTE.
Taking surprising new directions as it examines the delicate balance between infatuation and fantasy, the rising folk-pop artist’s new song brings a beloved fictional character to life, only to realize that some things don’t really work the way we want it to be.
Benin adds, “the song is about the thought process of a girl overthinking her relationship with an affable dork because she feels unworthy of his attention. As you navigate a complete picture of the story, you later on realize that fantasies only remain as such and don’t translate to reality.”
The track is inspired by coming-of-age classics with sharp satirical bite, from Ruby Sparks and Stranger Than Fiction to anything helmed by John Hughes. “I've... less

Generally, a process is determined by what musical idea pops into your mind first. If you find that you've been developing lyric ideas, you'll likely start by filling in as much of that lyric as you can, and then develop chords and melody to support that lyric. That's your process for lyrics-first songs.
