don't matter – Denise Julia (feat. DENY)
It's about time! After what feels like several ages and a very patient fanbase, Denise Julia and DENȲ have graced us with their debut collab, "don't matter."
Produced by J. Greg, Duaneinsane, and Denise Julia herself, the song is a laid-back track, perfectly complementing Denise's vocals and DENȲ's sultry whispers. The new song is basically saying "peace out" to drama and hello to a life where you're the main character, flaws and all. A middle finger to heartache, sung with the confidence of a queen reclaiming her throne.
Paboritong Panalangin – Jun jun Salarzon
Who knew that besides making us IJBOL on TikTok, Jun Jun Salarzon could also make us sob with a single song? Our Metroscene Cover girl just released "Paboritong Panalangin," and it's basically a soundtrack to every 2 AM questioning-your-existence moment we've all had. Seriously, the raw emotion? The relatable lyrics about unrequited love? We stan a multi-talented queen! Now excuse us while we grab some tissues...
Miss Miss – Rob Deniel
Rob's "Miss, Miss" is the missing piece you didn't know your OPM playlist needed. It's got the sweetness of a love song but blended with yearning. This song hits differently and will send you a late-night quest for cuddles, even if your phone battery is at 3%.
kilala kita – elijah
Award-winning actor Elijah Canlas just dropped the mic with his debut single "Kilala Kita" (it's "elijah" now, lowercase and cool, deal with it). This ain't your cheesy actor-turned-singer situation, trust. The laid-back hip-hop track talks about a boy reintroducing himself to a girl who only thinks of herself. Elijah wrote the song himself, produced by Cavill, and released by Island Records Philippines and Cornerstone Entertainment.
Babaero – hev abi (feat. gins&melodies)
Remember "Babaero," that OPM song that was probably your father's anthem in the day? Well, Hev Abi just said "hold my microphone" and dropped a lofi R&B remix that's like the chill version of the original. The lyrics are real, the feels are real, and the vocals are smoother than butter. This modern take on a classic is like the soundtrack of your next boys night out!
WE MADE IT - Nik Makino x Flow G
Nik Makino and Flow G just dropped another bomb collab, and this time it's called "We Made It" – talk about setting the bar high!
These Tagalog wordsmiths are nothing but lyrical geniuses, serving up an inspiring banger that'll have you feeling like you can conquer the world. "We Made It" isn't just a track; it's a motivational anthem, pushing you to hustle and aim for greatness. Picture this: hard-hitting punchlines, rapid-fire flows, and beats that'll make you hit repeat.
