May 28, 2026

MIAMI, FL (May 26th, 2026) – Shakira and Burna Boy released the video for their new track “Dai Dai,” the official song of the FIFA World Cup 2026™, in support of the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund. Watch HERE. The video was shot in Miami and directed by Hannah Lux Davis. It features a compilation of soccer stars Lionel Messi, Harry Kane, Kylian Mbappé, Rodrigo Hernández (Rodri), Vinícius Júnior, Takefusa Kubo, Santiago Giménez, Erling Haaland, Luis Díaz, Alphonso Davies, Jamal Musiala and Christian Pulisic.

The video also features Ghetto Kids Uganda, a life-changing NGO dedicated to supporting orphaned, street, and vulnerable children through music, dance, and drama.

The video shows Shakira atop Mexico City’s Angel de la Independencia, one of Mexico’s most iconic landmarks on the emblematic Reforma Avenue. It serves as a visual tribute to a country that has played an important role throughout her career, with special thanks to the capital’s tourism campaign “Ciudad de México Corazón Grande” for its support in bringing this moment to life.

Shakira will co-headline the FIFA World Cup 2026™Final Halftime Show on Sunday, July 19, alongside Madonna and BTS. She will perform Dai Dai with Burna Boy. For the first time in FIFA World Cup™ history, the final will feature a halftime show, bringing together global artists for a singular moment at the intersection of sport, culture, and purpose, to support the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund.

As announced last week at Global Citizen NOW in New York, 'Dai Dai' will be the official anthem of the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, which aims to raise USD $100 million by the FIFA World Cup 2026™ Final to provide children in underserved communities around the world with access to quality education and sports. Shakira’s royalties from 'Dai Dai' are being donated to the Education Fund, and Sony Music will match the first $250,000 raised with a donation. Additionally, Shakira is donating $1 from every ticket sold to her upcoming 'Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran' tour to the Education Fund.

About Ghetto Kids

Ghetto Kids is an NGO (Inspire Triplets Ghetto Kids) from Kampala, Uganda, East Africa.

Founded by Dauda Kavuma, a former street kid himself. Ghetto Kids comprises orphaned, street kids, and vulnerable children (60 children), with 18 performers ranging in age from 2 to 18 years, using music, dance, and drama to achieve education, food, health care, accommodations, and clothing.

At their young and impressionable age, the kids have resorted to using music, dance and drama as a way of staying away from the violence that they experienced on the streets.

With the assistance and guidance of their guardian Kavuma Dauda, Ghetto Kids raise money from their live performances and when they are hired to dance to music of various artists in music videos. This is further supplemented by donations from a few individual well-wishers. All the money is used to assist in providing them with a safe place to live, food, clothing, medical expenses, and to pay for their education. All the (60) Ghetto Kids members live together. Because Kavuma did something radically different from most people, the world is now able to learn a little more about the millions of ignored children across the globe.

RITUAL

Multi-platinum, award-winning duo Icona Pop return with their euphoric new single “Butterfly Feelings,” out now.

Listen to “Butterfly Feelings” HERE.

Lifted from their forthcoming album Ritual, arriving August 14 via Ultra Records/Iconic Sound Recordings, “Butterfly Feelings” finds Icona Pop leaning into the dizzy emotional rush of falling in love hard and fast. Co-written by the duo, the track pairs futuristic synths, bittersweet pop melodies, and a snappy club-ready beat with the euphoric vulnerability that has long defined the duo’s music. Anchored by the hook, “My heart is beating, do you feel the same?”, the song captures the electric uncertainty and excitement of new love through Icona Pop’s unmistakable high-energy lens.

Speaking on the track, Icona Pop shares, “‘Butterfly Feelings’ is a little song about falling stupidly in love. We were thinking of all the times when we had that feeling. You try to deny it in the beginning, but you can’t stop thinking about this person.”

“Butterfly Feelings” follows the release of “Dance ToThis” (WATCH) and the album’s powerful title track “Ritual” featuring Daya, alongside an official music video directed by Gustav Stegfors (WATCH). Built around themes of survival, movement, and self-reclamation, the song introduced a more vulnerable and emotionally grounded side of the duo.

Written during a deeply transformative chapter in the duo’s lives, Ritual finds Icona Pop at their most emotionally fearless, liberated, and creatively confident. Across the album, Caroline Hjelt and Aino Jawo explore themes of friendship, reinvention, healing, heartbreak, motherhood, and joy—reshaping the dancefloor into a place for release and renewal.

Speaking on the project, Icona Pop reveal: “Healing requires you to slow down and reflect, but you can’t work on yourself 24/7 forever. Eventually, you have to get back out into the world and see what happens. You might mess up—but that could be exactly what you need. For us, the dance floor has always been a place where we find ourselves and each other again. It’s where we can disappear into the music and let go of everything else.”

More music and news from Icona Pop coming soon.

Ritual, the new album from Icona Pop, arrives August 14. Pre-Order/Save HERE.

“Butterfly Feelings” is available now on all streaming platforms.

Filipino singer-songwriter SHANNi reflects on betrayal and toxic relationships in new single “Teleserye”

May 27, 2026

The melodic but dreamy pop-rock track pairs infectiousness with somber introspection

Fresh off from the success of her last single “SikretongTayo Lang May Alam,” which entered the Spotify Viral 50 Philippines chart and surpassed a million streams within five months, SHANNi continues her upward trajectory with the release of her new single “Teleserye”—out today via Sony Music Entertainment.

Driven by conversational lyrics and emotionally poignant storytelling, the alt-pop newcomer pours her heart out on betrayal and manipulation that comes from toxic relationships and friendships. On “Teleserye,” she paints a familiar portrait of having endured chaos in silence before ultimately finding the courage to walk away and find her peace in the process.

SHANNi explains, “Teleserye feels like a huge step for me creatively and emotionally. After the success of “SikretongTayo Lang May Alam,” I realized I wanted to become more fearless when it comes to storytelling and expressing vulnerability in my music. With this release, I became more intentional about writing from a place that’s completely honest and personal instead of trying to filter my emotions.”

SHANNi channeled a real-life experience into her art, writing from a place of hurt and honesty. Rather than suppressing it, she used songwriting as a form of healing and self-expression.

“A lot of the inspiration behind Teleserye came from real emotions and experiences that genuinely affected me emotionally,” shares the young artist. “There were moments where everything felt overwhelming, confusing, and emotionally draining, and writing became my way of processing those feelings instead of letting them consume me. Rather than reacting impulsively or doing something I might regret, I chose to pour those emotions into music and turn them into something creative.”

Musically, “Teleserye” reveals a somber but inviting pop-rock sound that combines infectious hooks with introspective themes. The contrast between layered and dreamy upbeat textures and emotionally weighty lyricism reflects the complicated strains of real-life emotions, particularly relatable to young listeners going through a rough patch.

For SHANNi, the intentional take on the sound design captures the experience of people hurting deep down while still trying to keep things light on the surface.

“When creating music, I usually start by thinking about how I want listeners to feel emotionally before they fully process the lyrics,” the Kdrama singer-songwriter admits. “I love the idea of someone being pulled in by a melody that feels addictive, then slowly realizing there’s actually a vulnerable and emotional story underneath everything. That contrast creates a stronger emotional impact because listeners experience both. Sometimes, difficult topics can feel heavy, so balancing them with melodic hooks and catchy production allows people to connect with the emotions without feeling completely weighed down by them. I think that balance is part of what makes my music feel honest and relatable because people experience emotions in complicated ways too.”

The track was written and co-produced by SHANNi with her longtime collaborators Max Cinco, Ezekiel Diaz, Dave Silonga, and Raine Roque. Honing a collaborative environment that enables vulnerability and experimentation to coexist throughout the creative process, “Teleserye” reveals a sonically engaging sound that strikes a balance between crossover appeal and creative integrity.

SHANNi’s “Teleserye” is out now on all digital music platforms worldwide via Sony Music Entertainment.

LUKAS GRAHAM ANNOUNCES NEW ALBUM ‘GOOD TIMES’ ARRIVING AUGUST 14 VIA VIRGIN MUSIC GROUP

May 27, 2026

PRE-ORDER/PRE-SAVE HERE

SHARES NEW SINGLE “SECOND CHANCE” AVAILABLE NOW

LISTEN HERE

WATCH THE OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO HERE

New York, NY- Internationally acclaimed singer-songwriter Lukas Graham has announced his forthcoming studio album, Good Times, arriving August 14th via Virgin Music Group. Built on reflection, heritage, and hard-won perspective, Good Times finds Lukas Graham leaning into the Celtic and folk traditions that shaped his upbringing in Copenhagen. A full tracklisting is included below. Pre-order/Pre-save HERE.

To herald the announcement, he has shared his new single “Second Chance,” an infectious, foot-stomping anthem that channels the communal spirit of a front-porch hootenanny into a celebration of owning your mistakes, embracing renewal, and striving to become a better version of yourself. “Second Chance” is available now on all streaming platforms, with the official music video now streaming on his official YouTube channel. Listen HERE.

Good Times brings Lukas full circle, reconnecting him with the Irish heritage of his late father Eugene, a Donegal-born music lover who booked folk musicians throughout Scandinavia and helped introduce Lukas to the sounds and traditions that shaped his earliest relationship with music. After years of global success and life on the road, the album finds Lukas returning to those roots with a collection that feels deeply personal and unmistakably his own.

The album was recorded with a rolling collective of musicians in Nashville and New York, many of whom had a personal connection to Eugene and the folk community Lukas grew up around. The players include Michael McGoldrick, one of the world’s great uilleann pipe and Irish flute players; bassist Sam Grisman; Tim O’Brien on mandolin and backing vocals; Stuart Duncan on fiddle; and Brian Sutton on guitar — a lineup that roots the album in the Celtic, bluegrass and acoustic traditions Lukas grew up around. “People my dad knew. People who had slept on a couch in my mum and dad’s living room,” Lukas explained. “It was very important to me that we got a hold of some of these musicians and got that cultural connection.

Last month, he shared the first offering from the new project, “To Know a Girl,” an unapologetic, banjo-driven folk-pop anthem built around a soaring chorus and a powerhouse vocal. Lukas describes it as "short and sweet" but purposefully bold, introducing listeners to a new sonic chapter while remaining unmistakably Lukas Graham.

The GRAMMY-nominated Danish soul-pop artist first achieved global fame with the 2015 breakout hit "7 Years" — a reflective ballad that earned three GRAMMY nominations, topped charts in more than 15 countries, and placed him among the first 25 artists in Spotify's Billions Club. Over the past decade, he has built a multi-platinum international career spanning four albums, with hits including "Love Someone," certified platinum in 18 countries. His work blends soul, pop, and deeply personal storytelling, exploring themes of family, love, and resilience — from the loss of his father to becoming one himself.

Known for his emotional depth and powerful live presence, Lukas Graham has sold out tours across Europe, North America, and Asia, and performed on major stages including the GRAMMY Awards, MTV VMAs, and Good Morning America. This year, he will join Ed Sheeran as a special guest on select North American dates of the 2026 "Loop Tour," beginning August 15 at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, MN — for a full list of dates, see below.

TECNO Launches POVA Curve 2 5G in the Philippines: Slimmest 5G AI Phone Yet with 8000mAh Battery

May 23, 2026

MANILA, PHILIPPINES — May 23, 2026 — TECNO Mobile Philippines today officially launched the POVA Curve 2 5G, the newest addition to its popular POVA lineup, nationwide. Engineered for the gogetting generation, the device debuts with the brand mantra “Power That Never Drops” — a promise delivered through a massive 8,000mAh battery and a dualchip signal enhancement system that keeps users connected no matter where they are.

With a footprint of only 7.42mm in thickness and a weight of just 195g, the POVA Curve 2 5G is the world’s slimmest curveddisplay 5G smartphone equipped with an 8,000mAh battery. Inside this remarkably slim chassis lives a powerhouse that redefines what users can expect from a midrange 5G phone.

Unstoppable Battery, Uncompromised Design

The headline feature of the POVA Curve 2 5G is its industryleading 8,000mAh mega battery, capable of delivering up to three days of typical usage on a single charge — 72 hours of continuous use, 103.4 hours of music playback, 33.8 hours of navigation, or 18.8 hours of gaming. When it’s time to recharge, 45W fast charging brings the battery to 50% in just 36 minutes, minimizing downtime.

For users who never stop gaming or streaming, Bypass Charging 2.0 allows the phone to draw power directly from the charger rather than cycling through the battery — significantly reducing heat generation during highload scenarios and extending longterm battery health. The device also supports 10W reverse wired charging, transforming it into an emergency power bank for earbuds, tablets, or a friend’s phone. Despite its massive battery capacity, the POVA Curve 2 5G remains stunningly thin and light. The 7.42mm ultraslim profile and 195g weight make it comfortable for onehanded gaming and pocketfriendly for daily commuting.

Signal That Never Drops

In a country where connectivity challenges are a daily reality — from crowded LRT tunnels and underground parking garages to remote provincial areas — the POVA Curve 2 5G delivers a solution. It is equipped with TECNO’s selfdeveloped G1 signal enhancement chipset and SE1 WiFi enhancement chipset, working in tandem with the advanced UPS 3.0 signal optimization algorithm.

Compared to its predecessor, the device supports 20 5G bands — double the 10 bands previously available — ensuring broader coverage and more reliable connections across different network infrastructures. The dualchip system delivers a 33% reduction in network latency and a 70% boost in upload speeds, while the Hyper Antenna Matrix covers 90% of the chassis with antenna elements, achieving +3dB signal strength above standard configurations. Whether navigating EDSA traffic, streaming videos during an MRT ride, or taking calls inside a Makati highrise elevator, the POVA Curve 2 5G maintains the connection.

Standout Specs at a Standout Price

The POVA Curve 2 5G is powered by the 6nm MediaTek Dimensity 7100 5G processor, up to 850,000 AnTuTu Benchmark Score. The 6.78inch FHD+ curved AMOLED display delivers a 144Hz refresh rate for butterysmooth scrolling and gaming, with 4,500 nits of peak brightness ensuring excellent outdoor visibility under the Philippine sun. Display protection comes from Corning Gorilla Glass 7i.

Photography capabilities include a 50MP main rear camera with a 2MP macro sensor, and a 13MP frontfacing selfie camera. Additional features include IP64 dust and splash resistance, SGS 5Star Drop Resistance certification for 1.5meter falls, Dolby Atmos stereo speakers, an indisplay fingerprint sensor, FreeLink2.0 for offline communication within 1.5km, and the HiOS 16 interface based on Android 16 with integrated AI tools.

Availability and Pricing

The TECNO POVA Curve 2 5G is available in three premium colorways inspired by interstellar themes: Mystic Purple, Melting Silver, and Storm Titanium. Every Purchase will be given a TECNO Gift Box plus a Globe Customised 5G SIM card enjoying UNLI5G and free data for a year.

ALYSON drops sophomore album, AFTER OURS

May 22, 2026

Now available on all digital music platforms worldwide, the 8-track release unfolds like a single emotional journey: carefully sequenced, richly detailed, and impossible to skip.

Manila, Philippines – Following the radiant charm of their critically acclaimed debut DEFINITELY LOVE!, ALYSON returns to the spotlight with AFTER OURS—a sonically ambitious sophomore album released via Offshore Music Philippines.

ALYSON’s second full-length album lingers in the aftermath of a romantic connection, exploring uncertainty after intimacy, the temptation that complicates devotion, and the painful realization that love endures not through perfection but through choice. Embracing a more sophisticated approach to songwriting and production, AFTER OURS treats the art of listening to albums as a sanctimonious experience, with each track carefully sequenced and every detail presented with intentionality at every level.

In an era increasingly dominated by algorithmic design and standalone singles, ALYSON wants listeners to rediscover the beauty of experiencing albums as complete bodies of work that are meant to be lived through in sequence, with no skips. Therecord feels like one long night stretching into dawn.

Here’s a track-by-track description:

1. IKAW LAGI

Opening the record with festive beats and magnetic arrangements, “IKAW LAGI” is described as a “summery, ‘80s Latin-disco anthem” where the feelings of attraction and love are amplified to the max by its inescapable energy. The dancefloor-ready track captures the excitement of attraction at the beginning of a night out: where possibility is endless and every glance feels electrifying.

2. LANDI

A nighttime 80’s dancefloor track that takes listeners deeper into the long night, the song transports you to the set of the 1987 film, Dirty Dancing. It brings back the physicality and intimacy introduced in the previous album, showing two people unexpectedly synchronized to the beat amidst the chaos of the dance floor, getting closer, skin to skin, almost to a sensual breaking point.

3. BIGHANI

Exploring the connection between city pop and Brazilian tropical rhythms, the track marks the emotional escalation of the album. Beneath its shimmering production lies an internal conflict: temptation can drive a person crazy after a wonderful night, leading them to question their outlook on loyalty and love.

4. KUNG SAKALING TANAWIN

Delivering the record’s grandest emotional statements, the track gloriously channels the Manila Sound ballads from the ‘70s and ‘80s with sweeping orchestral arrangements ala Basil Valdez and Rey Valera. Drunk with nostalgia and yearning, the track meditates on the painful beauty of memory, asking whether love would still be chosen if one already knew how complicated and fragile everything would become.

5. TALAGA

A playful synth-pop track inspired by both Pinoy and Japanese pop sensibilities circa 1986, the track chronicles a lover’s quarrel filled with teasing tension and undeniable chemistry.

The release of the song is accompanied by a music video that pays tribute to the late-night music television performances of the ’80s and ‘90s (e.g., Ryan Ryan Musikahan). It also features rising pop artist Paprikka, who is known for her charismatic singing and soulful delivery.

6. GOODBYE, SUMMER

Integrating big band jazz, Motown grooves, city pop, and crooner-style Manila Sound into one cohesive package, “GOODBYE, SUMMER” is considered one of the album’s technical highlights. The groovy tune captures the exhaustion of heartbreak while confronting the lingering pain that still shadows it.

7. 24/7 LOVE & CARE

Handpicked as the album’s focus track, the song embodies the accessibility and warmth that define ALYSON in their sincerest form. Featuring a simpler arrangement centered largely around the band’s five core members, the track represents clarity after emotional turbulence: a realization that despite temptation, confusion, and imperfection, there remains comfort and peace in enduring love.

8. ‘DI MAKAPANIWALA

Sitting at the intersection of Japanese City Pop and Manila Sound, “‘DI MAKAPANIWALA” is an earnest closing track meant to cap off the emotional complexities of a night that was. It’s a simple message of hopefulness for a love that can make it to the dawn. Credits roll.

ALYSON’s AFTER OURS is out now on all digital music platforms worldwide this May 22, 2026, via Offshore Music Philippines. Watch the music video of “TALAGA”, debuting on YouTube tonight 9PM.

Filipino blues trio AME channels love, labor, and survival on debut album, Kwentong Barbero

May 22, 2026

The Marikina-based trio delivers a no-skips album driven by blues-infused rock ’n’ roll and working-class struggles

Filipino blues rock trio AME has officially releasedKwentong Barbero, a seven-track album that tackles the unfiltered realities of everyday Filipino life. As one of the few active blues bands in the local music scene, AME takes the genre to a thrilling new place through its riveting balance of classic blues sound, ‘70s psychedelic rock, and contemporary punk edge.

Redefining OPM with their eclectic sound and personality, Kwentong Barbero delivers a record wity easygoing charm and confidence. The retro-modern album features previously released singles “Ipagpatawad Mo,” “Hala Bira,” and “Palaboy,” alongside four new tracks ready to hit hard and stay with the listeners until the final note.

[MORE PHOTOS HERE]

From the urban grit of “BluKolar” to the poignant farewell in “Langit,” the record paints vibrant stories of love, survival, identity, and hope into anthems that cut across generations. “BluKolar,” in particular, connects the album to broader themes of labor, migration, and resilience, grounding AME’s music in the everyday struggles and aspirations of Filipino communities.

Tracks like “Sana Makapili” stands out for its reflective patriotism, while heartfelt stompers like “Sandal” reveals the band’s vulnerable side both as songwriters and performers. The result is a well-rounded, no-skips album that balances emotional depth with the glorious raggedness of rock n’ roll.

Musically, AME’s new record serves as both a homage to the timeless tradition of Filipino storytelling and the trio’s infectiously gritty approach to blues-infused rock music.

Tracklist

1. Sana Makapili

2. Palaboy

3. Ipagpatawad Mo

4. BluKolar

5. Sandal

6. Hala Bira

7. Langit

AME’s debut album, Kwentong Barbero is out now on all digital music platforms worldwide via evosound Philippines.

Jordan Susanto Announces His Second Album 'Million Different Reasons' Releasing on July 17th, Continues This Era With "Nervous" and "Such A Shame"

CONTINUES THIS ERA WITH “NERVOUS” AND “SUCH A SHAME”

May 22nd, 2026 - Philippines — Singer-songwriter Jordan Susanto officially continues the journey toward his second album 'Million Different Reasons', set for release on the 17th of July, with the arrival of his latest double single, “Nervous” and “Such a Shame”. Fans can pre-save the album here and stream the new track here.

Following the release of album opener “Death of Me” earlier this year, the two new tracks further introduce the emotional and sonic direction of the upcoming project — one that explores vulnerability, connection, self-reflection, and the many forms of love that shape everyday life.

Inspired by legendary artists such as Prince, James Brown, and Michael Jackson, “Nervous” leans heavily into funk and soul influences, pairing lively grooves with a more playful musical approach. “For me, it’s not about replicating a sound from an old era, but finding the most honest way to translate what I felt when I wrote this song,” Jordan explains.

Meanwhile, Jordan describes “Such a Shame” as a sister track to “Nervous”, both musically and thematically. Together, the songs celebrate emotional openness and challenge the idea of staying detached to appear “cool”. To capture a more organic sound, Jordan recorded the rhythm section live alongside his band, The Soul & Rollers, embracing spontaneous interaction and the dynamic energy often found in classic soul and funk recordings.

“I see that the current generation is starting to not be too afraid to look ‘cringe,’ not afraid to care,” he says. “I hope the next generation will grow up in environments that are more welcoming of their emotions".

Jordan Susanto - "Nervous"

Compared to his self-titled debut album, ‘Million Different Reasons’ marks a significant evolution for Jordan, both sonically and emotionally. Taking a simpler and more intuitive approach, the project embraces looser arrangements, minimal editing, and the rawness of real recorded moments.

Ironically, Jordan admits the new album feels “more ‘Jordan’” than his debut ever did.

With “Death of Me,” “Nervous,” and “Such a Shame,” Jordan gradually pieces together the emotional thread of ‘Million Different Reasons’, a record that reflects on relationships, friendship, anxiety, longing, self-love, and the countless reasons behind the way people feel and move through life.

“‘Love’ feels too narrow to describe all of it,” Jordan concludes. “There are a million different reasons behind the way we feel and live life”.

In 2024, he released his debut album 'Jordan' which introduced his musical spectrum to a wider audience. The album produced a number of releases that received a positive response, including "Senopati In The Rain" which was at the top of Spotify's Viral 50 charts in Indonesia and the Philippines, as well as achieving the Top 5 position in several other Southeast Asian countries. Some other songs such as "Still Drunk" and "Will I Ever Love Again" also strengthened his presence in the regional area.

Jordan's journey on the music scene was also marked by his appearances at various festivals, including the Java Jazz Festival and We The Fest. At the end of 2024, it won the AMI Awards for the Best Soul/R&B Artist category, and returned in the same nomination the following year.

Entering the next phase of his career, Jordan continues to develop his musical direction through recent releases that explore a more expressive and dynamic approach. With a fan base that continues to grow and a reputation as an authentic musician, Jordan Susanto is increasingly asserting his position as one of the most promising singer-songwriters from Indonesia today.

Sexy Jay drops “Singaw” with new lyric video, teases upcoming album

May 20, 2026

Photo by Mayks Go.

MANILA, PHILIPPINES—Our favorite post-punk extraordinaire, lambanog brewer, skater, and barber Sexy Jay has dropped yet another gritty track on streaming, and it's the crowd favorite“Singaw”—out on May 21, 2026, via Offshore Music.

The Taguig-based art punk artist had already been performing this song live for years, where it generated countless reactions for its absurd premise surrounding the pain of mouth ulcers andits hypnotic instrumentation reminiscent of the brooding energy of Joy Division’s “Disorder,” off the classic 1979 album, Unknown Pleasures.

“July last year nabuo yung idea ng “Singaw”, pero hindi pafinal yung process non [I got to create “Singaw” July of last year, but the process of it was not final yet],” Jay Villarosa (the man behind Sexy Jay), shares, citing where the song first came tobe, “May singaw ako nung time na yon kaya yan pumasok na lyrics habang pinapakinggan ko yung beat na nagawa ko [I had mouth ulcers then so those were the lyrics I thought of while listening to the beat I created].”

A lyric video of “Singaw” will also be available upon releaseday. Created by Jyzel Monzon, the video will be released on Offshore Music PH's official YouTube channel.

When asked why “Singaw” was the second single that followed his anticipated first release “Daga”, the artist simplystated that this is his second favorite track in his upcomingalbum, set to be released sometime in June 2026.

Pre-Save “Singaw” on all streaming platforms now!

About Sexy Jay

Jay Villarosa, most known under the moniker, Sexy Jay, isa reinvention of the rising post-punk sound in the PH local indie scene. Figuring out his love for the genre through thesoundtracks of skate tricks on YouTube, Sexy Jay formulated his sonic persona into a more atmospheric and experimental jive through the use of synth-heavy tracks with a touch of electronica, and lyrics bordering "fun" and "nonsensical".

He first started recording most of his independently released tracks in the bathroom and the mic of a wired earphone, dubbing them as "Toilet Records". With this, he utilizes the soft echoes of the space and the imperfect sound effects of the voice through the cheap mic as a deliberate stylistic choice for the vocals of his songs.

Albeit uncommon, Sexy Jay's mission for his music is toreach as many ears as possible as he recognizes thatmost of the themes of his projects revolve around apositive charge almost everyone can freely "Zombie" dance their way through.

In 2026, Sexy Jay signed under Offshore Music, gearing up for the release of the much-awaited song "Daga" and other future music projects.

Few artists have redefined the emotional possibilities of modern pop as completely as Tove Lo. With a diaristic style and a defiant openness around sex, addiction, and vulnerability, she has become both a pop outlier and a generational touchstone, earning global hits and a devoted audience drawn to her unfiltered perspective. Today, the beloved Swedish popstar returns with news of a sixth studio album titled ESTRUS (out September 18), alongside the release of a lead single “I’m your girl right?.” Watch theofficial music video directed by Nogari, HERE. The video, shot outside São Paulo in a former monastery, features over 70 dancers and marks the second time Tove Lo and Nogarihave worked together (Borderline, 2023).

Speaking about the song and video, Tove Lo shares: “The first song and video from my new album ESTRUS are out. I know you’ve been waiting a long time and I hope it’s worth the wait. It was for me! Can’t wait to share the rest of this album with you. We shot this video in Brazil and I think it turned out so stunning. The best crew ever. Thank you with all my heart to Nogari and your whole team, our minds blend so beautifully twisted together.”

The GRAMMY® nominated artist has also announced her 2026 ESTRUS TOUR. Starting in Nashville on September 15, Tove Lo will play six special North America release shows, including Under the K Bridge Park in Brooklyn the day after ESTRUS drops. She will then head to UK / Europe to play her largest shows there to date with more touring to follow in 2027. Support on the North American dates will come from Mallrat, with Cobrah joining for the New York show, while Rose Gray will join across the UK and EU leg.

The Presale for the North American leg begins Monday, May 18 at 1pm local time. American Express is providing eligible Card Members access to Amex Presale Tickets® for the US and CAN dates, starting Monday, May 18 at 9am local time through Tuesday, May 19 at 10pm local time. Terms apply.The Presale for UK/EU leg begins Monday, May 18 at 10am local time. Tickets will go on sale to the general public, starting Wednesday, May 20 at 10am local time. Fans can sign up for presale at tove-lo.com.

Talking about the tour, Tove Lo adds “Finally!!! The ESTRUS Tour begins with six North America release shows in September followed by my biggest UK/EU tour to date this November. I’m gonna make this very special. Also taking some iconic people with me on the road – Mallrat and Cobrah(NY only) in North America and Rose Gray in UK/EU. Many more shows to be announced… We’re just getting started! Can't wait to be absolutely unhinged together again.”

After years of locating truth somewhere between hedonism and vulnerability, her sixth album ESTRUS (meaning female mammal in heat) dives into an even deeper, uncharted level of honesty. Inspired by The Knife, Robyn, and much of the Swedish indie dance music she grew up on, Tove Lorecorded the propulsive electro-pop of ESTRUS with her longtime collaborator Ludvig Söderberg, alongside Elvira Anderfjärd and Luka Kloser (Addison Rae), and includes a standout collaboration with internationally acclaimed Belgian-born artist, writer, producer and designer, Stromae. The album was recorded in LA, Stockholm, and in a small fishing village in Sweden where she spent summers as a child and where she also made parts of Dirt Femme. Returning there brought everything back: “growing up, being depressed, struggling with my eating disorder, going through breakups, family drama, loss, everything.” To get to the core of herself, she realized she had to return to where she was first formed. That messy younger self is still accessible to her, now refracted through time.

Speaking about the new album, Tove Lo reveals, “Estrus is an animal in heat. It’s primal. It’s my mind and my body wanting different things, wanting everything. There’s no good advice on this album… just a lot of feelings, no solutions.”

ESTRUS, the forthcoming album from Tove Lo is out September 18. Pre-Order/Save HERE.

The new single, “I’m your girl right?” is available to stream worldwide today. Watch the music video HERE.

About Tove Lo

Lo first broke through with her platinum-certified 2014 debut Queen of the Clouds, powered by the triple-platinum “Habits (Stay High)” and double-platinum “Talking Body”, immediately establishing her raw edge on a global scale. She has since balanced chart success with cult credibility, collaborating across genres with artists like Nick Jonas on “Close,” Flume on “Say It,” and Charli XCX, Alesso, Coldplay, and Major Lazer, while also emerging as a sought-after songwriter for Lorde, Zara Larsson, and co-writing Ellie Goulding’s “Love Me Like You Do.” Her subsequent albums — Lady Wood (2016), Blue Lips (Lady Wood Phase II) (2017), and Sunshine Kitty (2019) — expanded her emotional and sonic palette, the latter earning year-end acclaim and a GRAMMY® nomination for “Glad He’s Gone.” More recently, she sharpened her perspective on femininity and independence with Dirt Femme, while continuing to explore club-driven intimacy on the collaborative HEAT EP with SG Lewis, reaffirming her place as a pop provocateur and restless creative force. ESTRUS, her sixth album and emo chic moment, pushes that emotional candor even further, leaning into the contradictions that have long defined her work — euphoria and melancholy, desire and doubt — without trying to resolve them. Balancing visceral, body-moving production with sharply observed writing, it captures the full spectrum of feeling in real time. Rather than offering answers, Lo stays inside the mess, continuing her core mission: making people feel everything all at once.

ALYSON pushes the boundaries of modern OPM with upcoming sophomore album, AFTER OURS

May 18, 2026

The album arrives on May 22, 2026 via Offshore Music

Manila, Philippines – There are albums that soundtrack a particular moment in life, and there are albums that linger long even after the music fades.

With AFTER OURS, Filipino city pop collective ALYSONdelivers the latter: a richly layered, emotionally expansive sophomore record that positions the young band among the most promising torchbearers of modern OPM.

Set for release on May 22, 2026 via Offshore Music, AFTER OURS embraces the acclaimed warmth and exuberance of their debut album, Definitely Love!, but with more sophisticated music direction and more polished songwriting. Where their first record revels in romantic escapism at its brightest and most immediate, AFTER OURS explores what remains after the thrill settles: the aftermath of intimacy, longing, temptation, emotional reckoning, uncertainty, and the complication that life and love bring.

Deeply inspired by Japanese city pop, jazz, Brazilian funk, Motown, Philly soul, ‘70s-inspired OPM, and Manila Sound, ALYSON refines their songwriting and sonic ambition across the album’s carefully sequenced body of work. The result is cinematic but eloquently relatable, an album designed not as a collection of singles but as a cohesive emotional journey with organized madness in terms of structure and form.

“AFTER OURS is what happens after love lingers longer, when the fire starts burning through and you're left with embers,” shares lyricist and vocalist Pio Ligot. “It dives deeper into themes of yearning, temptation, and a struggle for stability. Even the name is a play on what happens after hours when the party and fun are over and you're just left to your thoughts. In a way, it’s our presentation of maturing from the honeymoon phase to a bit more realistic experience of how love is and how it can be."

For drummer and producer Marcus Mababangloob, the album mirrors ALYSON’s growth as a creative unit. “The vibe of the album also reflects where we are as a band. In Definitely Love!, our debut album, there was an excitement that could barely be contained, a charm to the roughness of our expression. We wanted to show the world who we are. AFTER OURS is a step forward in maturing as artists. The music has matured, and we know ourselves way better than we did a couple of years ago. This album is a more put-together expression of that.”

Their maturity resonates throughout the album’s production, approaching the project with elaborate care and old-school discipline, writing and rehearsing much of the material nearly a year before formally recording. Many of the tracks were captured live or in large ensemble sections, minimizing overdubs in favor of preserving the organic ebb and flow of performance.

Collaborating closely with orchestral arranger and trumpeter David Jorvina, ALYSON expanded their sonic palette with ornate horn and string arrangements that elevate the record’s emotional scale.

“We wanted the music to ebb and flow depending on the emotions of the song, so we needed to capture it in a more organic way that a metronome would’ve gotten in the way of,” shares Marcus. “It’s all a very old-school way of working, but it’s a crucial step in emulating and paying homage to how our favorite albums were recorded back in the day. We’ve been developing this way of working for a long time, and we wanted to prove that methods such as live recording aren’t just a compromise. It’s an intentional aesthetic choice that contributes largely to the sound.”

The album also features a standout collaboration with Filipino artist Paprikka on the track “Talaga,” envisioned as a classic city pop duet inspired by the theatrical largesse of vintage anime romances. Elsewhere, songs like “Ikaw Lagi,” “Landi,” “Bighani,” and “Kung Sakaling Tanawin” showcase ALYSON at their most adventurous: uncompromisingly unguarded and rhythmically daring this time around.

Notably, AFTER OURS was mastered in Tokyo by acclaimed engineer Eiji Hirano, known for his work with revered Japanese acts such as Ryusenkei, lending the record layers of sonic depth and direct lineage to the music that inspired its creation.

For longtime listeners, AFTER OURS reveals a band growing more fearless in both sound and storytelling. For newcomers, it offers a compelling introduction to one of the country’s most promising young acts whose sense of ambition and musicianship continue to push the boundaries of contemporary Filipino music.

AFTER OURS Tracklist:

1. IKAW LAGI

2. LANDI

3. BIGHANI

4. KUNG SAKALING TANAWIN

5. TALAGA

6. GOODBYE, SUMMER

7. 24/7 LOVE & CARE

8. DI MAKAPANIWALA

ALYSON’s AFTER OURS will be available on all digital music platforms worldwide this May 22, 2026, via Offshore Music.

In a game-changing moment for Filipino and Southeast Asian pop music, P-Pop powerhouse KAIA teams up with South Korean-based Filipino boyband HORI7ON and Filipino boy group 1st.One for the release of “Sulong,” the official theme song of the ROUND Festival 2026.

Released under the special collaboration unit Project P-Pop: Rising, the track captures the spirit of unity, resilience, and collective ambition. Embracing the continuing rise of P-Pop beyond national borders, the song embodies a shared vision: to elevate Filipino music while strengthening artistic connections across ASEAN and Korea.

For KAIA, the experience represented far more than a musical partnership. It’s a collaboration that emphasizes the sense of teamwork and mutual respect that united all artists and creatives involved in the project.

“It was a very exciting and meaningful experience for all of us,” shares the acclaimed pop quintet. “Even though we come from different groups with different styles and journeys, everyone shared the same goal of representing Filipino music and showing what P-Pop can achieve together. The project truly felt like a collective effort, showing that this special performance was not only about the artists, but also about the many people working behind the scenes to bring the vision to life.”

Delivering a strong statement of solidarity, “Sulong” was conceived out of the common goal to transcend borders and connect cultures. The title itself is a Filipino word which means “to move forward” or “to progress,” holding significant for every artist striving to bring local talent to the world stage.

“Collaborations like this help break barriers and show that artists and groups can work together to create something bigger than themselves,” shares KAIA in a press statement. “It also strengthens connections between fans, artists, and countries, which is very important in growing both P-Pop and ASEAN music internationally.”

A live performance of “Sulong” will be aired on KBS WorldTV on the following dates:

EP.1 — May 21 (Thu) 21:50 KST

syd hartha x TONEEJAY - "dito muna tayo"

May 15, 2026

The collaboration transforms longing and stillness into a beautifully understated musical experience

Filipino singer-songwriter syd hartha reunites with acclaimedartist TONEEJAY for their latest collaborative single “dito muna tayo,” out today via Sony Music Entertainment.

Capturing the human need to stay in spaces that soothe the mind and nurture inner peace, the folk-pop track draws inspiration from syd’s emotional connection to the ocean: a place that she describes as a source of calm and contentment throughout her life.

The free-spirited musician recounts how her deep connection with the vast body of water inspired her to write the song. “My great grandparents, who I spent a lot of time growing up with, would always bring me to beaches near where we lived in Cebu. That child-like spirit never really left me, even as an adult.”

Now that syd is older, she considers every trip to the ocean as deeply restorative and healing. “One of the biggest inspirations behind this song was the time I got to spend a few months living by the sea, and how it healed me physically, mentally, and emotionally. Leaving it was heartbreaking because a part of me really didn’t want to.”

Cushioned on soft instrumentation and understated arrangement, “dito muna tayo” allows both artists’ distinct songwriting voices to meet in riveting unison. The partnership reveals both their vulnerabilities and strengths as artists, finding refuge in unmasking defenselessness and allowing the words to soar with poetic grace and restraint.

“The collaboration came out naturally,” syd explains. “We’ve worked together before on one of his songs, and I’ve been wanting to collaborate with him again since the. When I chose ‘dito muna tayo’ as my next single, it felt like the song needed more color and texture. TONEEJAY was the missing piece in the puzzle, and he’s certainly the perfect fit for the song—thanks to his uniqueness and distinct songwriting voice.”

According to syd, the songwriting unfolded organically, with the recurring line, “babalik at uuwi ako dito” inscribing her journey with nothing but great memories. To make it feel more at home, syd included a few Cebuano lines in the lyrics to capture both her childhood connection with the ocean and the comfort that it brings to her up to now.

“I started by imagining what that sense of calm would sound like on guitar, and the lyrics just flowed from there,” she recalls. “We mostly just focused on bringing the song to life in the simplest and most honest way possible, staying true to its core emotion throughout the process.”

syd hartha and TONEEJAY’s “dito muna tayo” is out now on all digital streaming platforms worldwide via Sony Music Entertainment. Watch the official visualizer today at 6PM.

The Bloomfields turn gratitude Into groove on “Tayo Na, Dali!”

May 15, 2026

The accompanying music video, to be released this Sunday, stars multi-awarded actor Pepe Herrera

Manila, Philippines – After the viral resurgence of their anthemic hit “Ale” on TikTok and various streaming platforms, Filipino band The Bloomfields are embracing a remarkable second-wave momentum with the release of their newest single “Tayo, Na Dali!,” a fun and exuberant, ‘60s pop-inspired jam that serves as gracious giveaway to the fans who have kept their music alive across generations.

Brimming with nostalgic groove and infectious warmth, “Tayo Na, Dali!” exudes the enduring power of music to unite people on the dance floor and beyond.

An invitation to cry-dance

“On the surface, it’s really just about asking someone to dance,” shares vocalist and drummer Rocky Collado. “But underneath that, I wanted there to be a sense of urgency. There’s this feeling in the song that great moments don’t last forever. They come, they happen, and before you know it, they’re gone. So, when they’re there, you have to be present. You have to celebrate them while you can.”

Deceptively simple but eternally joyous, the song doubles as a poignant meditation on time and transience as much as it is an invitation to dance. It’s a song reminding listeners to enjoy life’s fleeting but beautiful moments before they even slip away. The line, “Malay mo isang araw, hindi na tayo makakapagsayaw,” sums up the emotional heartbeat of the song, grounding its buoyant energy with vulnerable sentiments that hit home.

Musically speaking, “Tayo Na, Dali!” revisits the live-band spirit that endeared The Bloomfields to diverse audiences. Inspired by the timeless sensibilities of The Monkees, The Romantics, and even The Beatles, the track blends vintage pop stylings with OPM charm while carrying the confidence of a band that has evolved through years of maturity and refinement.

Music video with Pepe Herrera

The release also ushers in a highly anticipated music video starring multi-awarded actor Pepe Herrera, whose magnetic screen presence adds emotional depth and irresistible charm to the project.

Collado fondly recalls working with Herrera, whose performance and input felt like watching a pro in action. “The moment he was in front of the camera, he just lit up,” Collado reveals. “You could tell he knew how to work with the scene, how to add emotion while jiving to the rhythm.”

Inspired by ‘90s teen romantic comedies and coming-of-age films, the MV reflects the many milestones The Bloomfields have soundtracked throughout their career: weddings and debuts to anniversaries and birthday celebrations—name it.

Rocky Collado admits that this is his first time conceptualizing the music video for their own songs. “I really wanted the visuals to mean something,” he explains. “I knew I wanted the MV to celebrate the kind of life The Bloomfields has lived as a band. Through the years, we’ve been lucky enough to play at people’s weddings, debuts, 50th birthdays, golden anniversaries, and even a one-year-old’s birthday party. We were there for so many people’s special moments, playing timeless classics while another chapter of their lives was unfolding.”

Directed by Jeremy Jay Abaño, whom the band credits for sharing the concept into a visually compelling story, the music video balances nostalgia, humor and romance with effortless sentimentality and sincerity.

HONNE Unveil 10-Year Anniversary Album 'HONNE — 10', Share Heartfelt Version of "Crying Over You" feat. BEKA

May 15, 2026

LISTEN HERE

May 15th, 2026 - Philippines – To celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the release of their debut album, HONNE have announced 'HONNE — 10', a special re-recording project featuring stripped-back, reimagined versions of some of their most beloved songs.

This new 12-track album revisits material from the duo’s first two records, presenting the songs in an intimate, minimal setting. This approach spotlights their songwriting and emotional core while capturing the honesty and warmth that have made them deeply woven into the fabric of Asia’s pop culture over the past decade. Successful re-recordings so far include “Warm on a Cold Night (10 Years)” and “Location Unknown feat. NIKI (10 Years)” – the latter has amassed nearly 10 million streams worldwide in just two months and landed Spotify viral charts across Indonesia and the Philippines.

Reflecting on the project, HONNE share: “We’ve been sitting on this for a while, and we’re really excited to finally share it with you. To mark 10 years of HONNE, we went back to the songs that started everything, recording stripped-back acoustic versions from our first two albums. Spending time with these songs again reminded us why we started HONNE in the first place, and why this music still means so much to us.”

The album release is joined by the final single, “Crying Over You (10 Years)”. Speaking on the track’s significance, BEKA says: "This song holds so much history for me. It was the continuation of a lovely friendship and the beginning of a collaboration that’s shaped so much of what’s come after. Reimagining it now feels really emotional — like returning to a past version of yourself, but with everything you’ve lived since. I hope this version finds new hearts and gives people a different way to feel the song.”

"One of the few true heartbreak songs in our catalogue. It’s always been very close to our hearts, made even more special by BEKA’s beautiful vocals. In this re-recording, her voice somehow feels even more fragile and heartbreaking.

She truly has the voice of an angel, and we’re so grateful she’s one of our closest friends. We really can’t wait for people to hear this version.”
– HONNE

Since releasing their first song, "Warm on a Cold Night", HONNE’s journey has taken them far beyond anything they could have imagined. What began as a single late-night track from humble recording sessions in Bow, East London quickly grew into a global career, encompassing sold-out tours, multiple albums, and a devoted international fanbase.

The 12-track album, 'HONNE — 10', serves as both a tribute to the duo's journey and a heartfelt thank you to their fans – a reflection of where they began and the deep connection they continue to share. Following the release, HONNE will bring these reimagined versions to life on their recently announced Asia tour, performing stripped-back, intimate sets with stops in Bangkok, Taipei, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, and Manila. Tickets are available HERE.
