South African boy band Dey Say is stepping into a new creative era with the release of the official music video for their latest single “Calling For You (Ringback)”, now circulating across YouTube and dominating playlists on local and continental music channels. The drop adds another layer to the group’s growing influence as one of the freshest faces in the African Pop (A-POP) movement.
Hailing from Eldorado Park, the trio has built a reputation for blending genre-fluid pop with R&B smoothness and Afrobeat warmth. The C4U Ringback track already captured that fusion sonically—now, its storytelling expands visually. Under the direction of Quaid Dunn AD, with Sutra of 3rd Eye Creative leading production, the music video turns Johannesburg into a playground of rhythm, attitude, and youthful charm.
Rather than relying on heavy choreography or elaborate sets, the video leans into authenticity. Viewers follow the boys through everyday Joburg backdrops—street corners, open spaces, casual hangouts—each scene reflecting their playful attempts to coax a love interest into calling back. The interactions feel natural, almost documentary-like, spotlighting not just their artistry but their bond as brothers.
The group emphasized that capturing their real dynamic was central to the concept. “We really wanted the video to show who we are, and how we are together as Dey Say—vibing through Joburg as friends and brothers while still teasing each other over that special someone who needs to call back,” they said. They describe the finished product as “fun,” “real,” and carrying the signature “A-POP swag” they’ve championed since debut.
Beyond the video release, Dey Say is gearing up for a festive season packed with performances and the early stages of a larger 2026 project. For now, fans can dive into the full “Calling For You (Ringback)” music video on VEVO/YouTube via Plus Two Seven—offering a bright preview of where South Africa’s next pop powerhouse is headed.
Filipino-American artists Jesse Barrera and Albert Posis are coming together with American songwriter
and producer Greg Shilling for a brand-new single titled “Shampoo.” The track releases November 13
on all platforms along with an official music video.
Barrera (1.5M monthly Spotify listeners) and Posis (850K monthly) have each built major followings in the
Filipino-American music community. Although the two are longtime friends, “Shampoo” is their first
collaboration with Shilling. His growing presence in OPM and Pinoy pop includes work with BINI, BGYO,
Maki, Maymay and more
“Shampoo” blends modern yacht-rock and indie pop into a lighthearted, flirty story about loving someone
so much you want them to move in and leave their shampoo at your place. Smooth guitars, stacked
harmonies and fun energy drive the track, written and produced during their first session together.
With Filipino music continuing to expand on the global stage, the collaboration connects the
Filipino-American community with one of the international producers helping push the sound outward.
The official music video will launch alongside the single.
Filipino hitmaker Maki just leveled up. After teasing us with a trilogy of bangers — “Dilaw,” “Namumula,” and “Bughaw” — the breakout alt-pop star has officially unveiled his debut full-length album KOLORCOASTER, a 10-track project that proves love really does come in every shade. And he’s not stopping at the album — he’s taking fans on the ride with him worldwide.
The Soundtrack of Every Kind of Love
KOLORCOASTER isn’t just an album; it’s an emotional theme park. Each track paints love in a different hue — from self-love (“Dilaw”), to messy heartbreak (“Namumula”), to platonic bonds that feel infinite (“Bughaw”). He even gives us tender tributes like “itim na ulap,” a song about the deep comfort of home (pets included 🐾), and “ROYGBIV,” a euphoric free-fall into the feeling of falling in love.
The album loops through highs, lows, and unexpected turns — reminding us that love, in all its forms, is both chaotic and magical.
Why This Drop Matters
Maki isn’t just that new kid on the OPM block anymore — he’s officially carving out his lane as one of the generation’s biggest names. With over 1 billion Spotify streams, multiple viral chart entries, and a two-day sold-out solo concert at New Frontier Theater, he’s proven he’s got the numbers and the narrative. KOLORCOASTER is his biggest statement yet: playful, heartfelt, and sonically versatile.
The Kolorcoaster Tour is Here
Maki is taking the Kolorcoaster from the studio to the stage:
Get ready — the ride is just beginning, and Maki’s making sure fans everywhere are strapped in.
Get on the Ride
KOLORCOASTER is streaming everywhere now. So buckle up, press play, and let Maki take you on a technicolor journey of love in all its shades.
Warner Music proudly unveils “With You”, a cross-border collaboration between Mandopop rising star Chen Linong and the Philippines’ seven-piece band Lola Amour. Produced by South Korea’s multi-platinum hitmaker Hyuk Shin, the single unites three of Asia's vibrant music scenes in one heartfelt ballad that transcends borders, language, and culture.
“With You” is a moving reflection on love and longing, inspired by an unwritten letter to a former lover. Built on a minimalist acoustic arrangement—layering gentle rain samples with delicate guitar melodies—the track strips away drums to create an intimate space where vocals take center stage, conveying raw vulnerability and emotional depth.
Chen Linong’s empathetic, crystal-clear vocals grow from a tender whisper into a soulful outpouring of feeling, intertwining seamlessly with the rich, expressive tones of Lola Amour’s vocalist, Pio Dumayas. Their contrasting voices bring texture and emotional tension, breathing life into the song’s story.
This collaboration unites some of Asia’s most exciting musical talents. Lola Amour skyrocketed to fame in 2023 with their smash hit “Raining in Manila”, which topped charts on Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube. The band went on to win at the Awit Awards, including Record of the Year and Song of the Year, and even shared the stage with Coldplay during their Manila stop.
On the production side, Hyuk Shin—the first Korean producer to break into the Billboard Hot 100 through his work with Justin Bieber—adds his signature touch. Known for collaborations with EXO, NCT, Dean, and more, Hyuk brings world-class expertise to “With You.”
For Chen Linong, one of the most streamed and influential young stars in China, the release marks another step in expanding his global footprint. With a devoted fanbase across Greater China and growing international recognition, Chen blends youthful charm with vocal maturity, cementing his status as an artist with global vision and cross-market appeal.
“With You” is available now on all streaming platforms worldwide.
A Six-Year Vision Realized
Claudia Valentina is making a striking return to the spotlight with the release of her new single Candy, a sleek, genre-blending track that fuses pop, R&B, and electronic textures into a bold anthem about confidence, identity, and unapologetic self-expression. For Claudia, Candy is more than just a song, it is the realization of a vision she has held for six years. “The video for Candy I’ve had on my mood board for around six years, and for it to finally come to life feels super exciting,” she says. “It’s like a part of my brain finally got to step into the real world.” The result is a cinematic, fashion-forward piece featuring an all-female cast racing through open fields on vintage cars and ATVs, blending rebellious energy with high-gloss pop imagery (Galore Magazine).
From Guernsey to Global Pop
Born on the small island of Guernsey, Claudia began performing early, landing a role in Billy Elliot the Musical at London’s West End at age nine before attending the prestigious Sylvia Young Theatre School, whose alumni include Dua Lipa, Amy Winehouse, and Emma Bunton. By her teens, she was traveling to Los Angeles to write with established producers, eventually penning songs for global names like BLACKPINK, co-writing Jump and Jennie’s Mantra. In 2020, she debuted with her single Seven, a heartfelt piano ballad, followed by a self-titled EP under Universal Music. But after July 2022, she vanished from the release calendar for over two years. As she revealed in her Principle Magazine interview, the hiatus was a product of leaving a bad label deal, her entire team, and even her home in LA, moving to Berlin to rebuild from scratch. “Picking myself up from that point in my career forced me into really realizing who I am and learning how to do everything myself. It took longer than I expected, but now I’m in a place where I feel like I’ve learned pretty much every lesson an artist can learn.”
The “Bad Bitch” Mentality
This hard-earned independence is paired with a self-defined “bad bitch” mentality. In her Enfnts Terribles feature, she explained, “You can be confident and strong while also being sensitive and passionate. That’s the real definition of a bad bitch for me.” Claudia’s approach is entirely DIY. She often writes songs alone using just Apple headphones and BandLab, makes her own mood boards, designs outfits, and directs her music videos. She records in unconventional spaces, from strip clubs to dentist offices, and even while being kicked out of clubs, incorporating raw ambient sounds into her tracks.
DIY Creativity and Visual Direction
Fashion and visuals are central to her artistry. “If I’m not in the studio, I’m mood-boarding and making great decks for my stuff, planning everything,” she told Galore Magazine. For Candy, that meant mixing rebellious streetwear with vintage Americana and avant-garde textures, creating a look that is both timeless and forward-thinking. She sources inspiration from unexpected places, such as art pieces, melting wax sculptures, and crochet artists on Twitter, and isn’t afraid to show up to a video shoot with six liters of yogurt for a performance art–inspired scene.
A New Era with Electric Feel
Now working with boutique management at Electric Feel, Claudia enjoys creative control and a supportive team that values music quality over trends. “They’re not just telling me to make TikToks all day,” she says in Principle Magazine. Her 2025 plan is ambitious: release a new song roughly every six weeks, build toward an EP or album, and deliver visually daring live performances. She is also intent on pushing her sonic boundaries, creating a “melting pot of different genres” that forms its own unique world.
Building a Pop World of Her Own
Her influences range from icons like Rihanna and Rosalía to current pop powerhouses like Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan, and RAYE, artists who create immersive worlds around their music. Claudia’s aim is no different. “I’m most inspired by artists that really create a world for themselves and that have something about them that is different. That’s what I’ve been building for the last couple years,” she told Principle Magazine.
With her track record of writing for global stars, her striking visual direction, and her refusal to compromise on authenticity, Candy positions Claudia Valentina as one of the most compelling voices in the new wave of pop, an artist who has turned career setbacks into a launchpad for a bold, fully self-defined era.

“ACE”
It was night time in February of 2025, I was having a conversation with a friend at a cafe. He called me an ACE because he said I can do almost everything. So it started there, I tried to remember all the compliments that I got from other people and put them altogether in a song. I wanted to Activate Confidence to Empower other people through my song because everyone is an ACE in their own way.
“ARANGKADA”
This song was the first one I’ve heard from EC. At first I was like “hmm Tagalog, what is this song about? Haha” I really like the beats, it’s kinda different from the music that I grew up with but it’s very refreshing. EC was nice enough to let me change some lyrics as well because I couldn’t pronounce some of the words properly.
“01/01”
I wrote this after pandemic, I was getting a lot of negativity during those times to the point that I wanted to prove myself to everybody. Then I came up with this song and decided to release it on my birthday that’s why it’s called 01/01 because my birthday is January 1 and also number 1 is the monthsary of Zélors (my fandom name). It was a gift for them.
“Z.L”
Z.L means Zone Leader but it could also mean ZéLa and Zélor. Because I was doing TikTok live last March (2025) when I wrote the 1st verse on the spot with Zélors. I asked them if they could give me any words that I can write a song into and someone said Z.L and Zone Leader. And then boom I tried to finish the song the next day. It’s a leader’s pov and a women empowerment song, that’s why there’s some lyrics there saying “HER is leader” because I’m a woman myself.
“G.O.A.T”
I was furious when I wrote this song. I felt like everyone was trying to pull me down to the point that it was affecting my career. I tried to write everything down for me to cool down. I’ve also wanted to be a rockstar as a kid that’s why I made this one a rock version. And rock genre went so well with what I was feeling that time. I was “unleashing my wrath”.
“PARAISO”
Hesitant, that’s how I felt after EC explained to me the meaning of the lyrics. The lyrics are about someone’s pov saying that she’s a paradise and then I thought “wait, isn’t this kinda sound arrogant if I sing it? People might think I’m so full of myself” but as the time goes by it starts to grow on me . I also love how the beats are just simple and magical at the same time. It makes you feel like in a paradise.
“CHAOS”
Writing this song was chaos. I was just in a mood to write a unique topic. It was my first time to write a not so love song lyrics with the help of Jo. He wrote some of the lyrics and he’s the featured artist in this song. The song is about a playboy who happens to fall in love with a female alpha.
“BABABA”
This song is also in full Filipino and EC explained the meaning of it. I had a hard time singing this song because there’s a lot of “bababa” words that it got me so confused. But it’s very catchy and a good song to listen to while driving or traveling.
“HANAP KA NALANG NG IBA”
EC wrote this song, and I thought it was gonna be the easiest song from him. But I was wrong, I couldn’t get the timing right on the post hook part, it took me a few hours to hit the right timing. But I really had fun recording it. I love the beats and vibe that it’s giving me
“LEAVE ME”
This song is very personal to me, I was having a mental breakdown while I was writing it. All the bad things that people have told and called me got into my head that I started to believe them. I knew myself better than anyone else but that time was too much. I thought maybe I was becoming someone I’m not because that’s what everyone is calling me or wants me to become. It took me hours to record this song because I couldn’t stop crying but thankfully I got to finish it with the help of Coach Karl.
Viral Pinoy Pop group GAT (Gawang Atin ‘To), comprised of members GAT Ethan, GAT Derick, GAT Michael, GAT Hans, and GAT Charles are chasing after a starlight in the darkest of nights in their highly-anticipated debut single, “Kakaiba,” released on August 1, 2025.
The debut track taps into an extraordinary kind of attraction towards someone, capturing the ecstasy of an undeniably intense infatuation. Entrancing as it sounds, listeners can deeply feel how spellbound the boys are in the lyrics, written by the GAT members themselves.
In their first original track, all members of the P-pop group had the opportunity to contribute to their music as they navigate their signature sound. Truly a masterpiece despite “Kakaiba” being their first-ever single, GAT has already proven their edge during their pre-debut era.
GAT first went viral for their phenomenal rendition of “Daleng Dale,” originally popularized by MMJ, which sent global audiences to join the dance craze. The pre-debut track also served as the opening song and an official soundtrack of the Viva One web series, Ang Mutya ng Section E.
Additionally, four members of the group, namely Ethan David, Derick Ong, Michael Keith, and Charles Law are among the recurring cast members of the internationally recognized show. With this, GAT is set to participate in the upcoming VIVA ONE VIVARKADA: The Ultimate Fancon and Grand Concert, happening on August 15, 2025, at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
Meanwhile, The Kennel, an international music publishing, production and management company based in Sweden which has written and produced music for number-one hits and artists all over the world, is among the people who produced “Kakaiba,” along with members of GAT and singer-songwriter and composer, Kylu Garcia (known for the tracks “OTW” and “Dito Ka Lang”). The song is a product of the songwriting camp spearheaded by The Kennel.
Following its digital release on all major streaming platforms, the official music video of GAT’s debut single “Kakaiba” is now available on their YouTube channel.
After an unstoppable 2024, marked by the release of his sophomore album ‘II: The Second’ in September and a record-breaking solo concert in October, Arthur Nery is not slowing down. The breakout R&B sensation and genre-bending hitmaker is ready to open another chapter with his newest single “Ayaw Baya” — a heartfelt tribute to his hometown and heritage.
A departure from his previous releases like “Isa Lang” and “I Gotchu”, where only traces of Bisaya appeared in a verse or two, “Ayaw Baya” marks Arthur’s first fully Bisaya-written single. The title, a Bisaya phrase, loosely translates to “please don’t” or “just don’t” — a gentle, aching plea that encapsulates the song’s emotional core.
Blending his signature neo-soul and R&B stylings with the rich texture of regional language, Arthur explores themes of love, abandonment, and the silent grief of unspoken farewells. It's a hauntingly vulnerable track that resonates with anyone who has ever been left behind without closure.
Known for pushing boundaries while staying true to his roots, Arthur Nery continues to redefine what OPM can sound like — viscerally honest, sonically sleek, and now, powerfully regional. With “Ayaw Baya,” he not only expands his artistic range but also elevates Bisaya music to the national stage.
Stay tuned on August 1 and stream “Ayaw Baya” on all major digital platforms and follow Arthur Nery on social media for exclusive content and behind-the-scenes stories from the making of the single.
rhodessa is returning to the music game after dropping her comeback single, “ano na?”, which poses a big question in a situationship that seeks so much clarification.
When there have been so many signs, enough to assume that “something” must be going on between two “special” people, it might be the right moment to draw the “What are we?” card. However, the truth bomb is another thing to deal with. And what if the feelings are not mutual? According to rhodessa, “Sumaya naman kahit papa’no” (it made me happy somehow), so maybe it will all be okay, maybe not today or soon, but one day.
Her latest single was a product of the songwriting camp in April, led by The Kennel, a music publishing, production and management company based in Sweden. The Kennel is known to have written and produced music for chart-topping tracks and artists all over the world, such as “Oxygen” by the Korean pop group TWICE for their “More&More” album.
Interestingly, the “kisame” hitmaker is known to be a fan TWICE, with Mina, who inspired her to write “mina(mahal),” as her bias, and an avid reader of MiChaeng (Mina and Chaeyoung’s ship name) fan fictions, which led her to write and produce “kisame,” her most successful song to date.
rhodessa has already proven her edge as a musical artist, having won the “Wish Ballad Song of the Year” in the 2024 Wish Music Awards for “kisame,” which has 184 million streams on Spotify alone as of writing.
Recently, rhodessa took part in a project extended play titled “SWABE,” a carefully curated album that features heartfelt renditions of beloved OPM classics, where she contributed her version of “Antukin” by Rico Blanco. The album also includes performances by Earl Agustin, Amiel Sol, Janine, and Shanne Dandan. A reinterpretation of timeless hits, SWABE is a collaborative project by Viva Music Publishing Inc., Viva Records, Vicor Music, and Ivory Music.
Following her music comeback, “ano na?” by rhodessa is out now on all major streaming platforms.
Who doesn’t love an OPM artist who can do a bit of everything?
The Voice Kids Philippines alumnus Darren Espanto just dropped his second album “Ikaw Pa Rin”—the first one in eight years—and we can say, it’s truly a testament to the growth of a singer who’s been in the industry for 11 years.
In the album launch last July 4, hosted by MYX’s very own resident VJ Samm, he delivered D’ Total Performances for six out of 13 tracks from “Ikaw Pa Rin,” namely “Bibitaw Na,” Can’t Buy Me Love” teleserye single “Iyo,” “Paano Kung Tayo Nalang,” Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition eviction song “Paalam Muna Sandali,” “Di Makaramdam,” and “ANNAB.”
Following the album launch, the official music video for ANNAB—a certified fan favorite—was also released on July 4.
According to Espanto, this new album signifies a new era and a more mature side for him as a musician who has grown with the industry. “I used to be someone who didn’t want to sing his original songs [...] but as an artist you’re supposed to produce your own songs and content—I have that in my mind now,” he opened up.
He also shared that he’s now more hands-on and not afraid to experiment with his music, evidenced by the versatility of themes and genres in “Ikaw Pa Rin”—ranging from pop, ballad, to retro songs.
“I really like the songs on this album kasi ako yung nagsulat nung ibang kanta,” Espanto said.
In working on his latest album, the teen pop sensation mentioned that they did not realize how long had passed since his last album. However, he believed that this unexpected turnout was also a way for the fans to hear the difference in his voice from a 16-year-old to a 24-year-old musician.
As he embarks on his new era as an OPM artist, Espanto dedicates “Ikaw Pa Rin” to the Darrenatics who waited eight years for new music, to everyone who loves music, and to those who just want to listen to something easy to listen to.
In the near future, the young musician hopes to release a song internationally and host a concert where 80 percent of the setlist is composed of his original songs.

British singer-songwriter James Vickery is entering a new era in his musical artistry with the upcoming release of his self-titled album ‘James’, out on September 12. Known for his soulful ballads and rich R&B vocals, he described his upcoming album as deeply personal and genre-bending–combining musical exploration with emotional depth, personal growth, and sense of identity.
With his album ‘James’, Vickery pivots towards something greater where he embraces the artistic freedom to evolve and explore. “I’m at this point in my life where I exhausted all avenues, explored every sound that I need to make, ” Vickery said. “I think it represents me not just as an artist but also as a man growing up in London.”
For Vickery, this album is the best representation and most authentic version of himself and he is proud of it.
Introducing himself with this self-titled album is a freedom from expectations and a commitment to growth that didn’t happen overnight. “I really don’t want to be one of the artists who just drops the same album every two years”, Vickery explained. Sharing his journey as an artist, Vickery also shared that he is open to evolving sounds while writing songs that he can sing without any limitations.
“It was definitely a tough decision and it took me a long time to write this,” Vickery expounded.
As Vickery steps into a new decade of age, introspection and personal journey led him to choose this title that feels rooted and authentic. “I want this to be the defining project that when I look back in 20 years, this is who I was and hopefully this is still the representation of the core essence of my personality.”
Releasing and naming this album after himself felt like the right moment for Vickery, both as an artist and as a person. “I’m much more mature now to look back and I want this to define where I am,” Vickery shared.
The result of his artistic exploration manifests with the album that traverses genres– from classic R&B to ‘70s funk and soul, synth-pop, and the pop sounds of the late ‘90s and early 2000s, where he turned to the music that shaped him especially with musical influences from Westerman and Vandross. “In order to get the true, authentic sound from things that inspired you, you have to go back and listen to the people before you and pay homage,” said Vickery.
Amidst all his musical and personal journey, Vickery remains grounded as he marks a turning point in his sound. “I would always call myself a soul singer but right now, I am more than that,” Vickery affirmed as he indicated that the thing he is not afraid to do is to experiment with sounds that are around him. And together with the people that surrounded him from growing up, he shared that it grounds him because people still believe in him.
Over the years, James Vickery’s music has been grounded in passion and built on emotional truth and resilience. His experiences have refined his songs into translating messages he hopes to resonate with the listeners. “To write authentically is to write about things that are passionate to you,” Vickery said while stating that being true to yourself is the way to get the best music.
Pre-Save and stream James Vickery’s upcoming self-titled album JAMES, this September 12 and experience a journey of his sound, self, and soul.

Words and interview by Leana Infante, a Communication Arts major in Speech Communication at the University of the Philippines Los Baños
Pinoy pop rock superstar Yeng Constantino just dropped her new single titled “Lumulutang Lumulubog,” and it’s about being high on infatuation, but also afraid of the uncertainties that it entails.
Constantino’s new single verbalizes the contradicting feeling of wanting to fall, but holding yourself back from doing so. Such a bittersweet meeting to a rather upbeat song.
@yengconstantinoofficial Ikaw ba to? Aguy! #lumulutangnahuhulog #yengconstantino ♬ Lumulutang Nahuhulog - Yeng Constantino
However, the renowned singer stated that the song was inspired by her current situation. In fact, the inspiration behind the song is quite unexpected.
“[Lumulutang Nahuhulog] is not about me in the present time, it [was inspired by] the cuteness that I saw from TikTok,” Constantino said. She revealed that her husband was even the one who suggested the push-and-pull theme for the song.
Expounding more on her fascination for TikTok, Constantino shared that her favorite trends on the app are one with soundbites and skits because these allowed her to see that acting can also portray emotions in different colors.
Recently, the OPM veteran has been active in her TikTok account, posting her own versions of the soundbites. “I’ve gotten more comfortable showing that side of myself because of TikTok,” she mentioned.
@yengconstantinoofficial Enebeeee 😆
♬ original sound - MAX REGUCERA
With nearly two decades since her entry to the OPM scene, Constantino advised aspiring artists and musicians to make use of their resources and connections to make their dreams come true. “[For example], kung ano yung money na meron ako, binabalik ko sa music ko,” the artist exemplified.
Constantino added that confidence is only built when you repetitively participate in competitive activities, stating that this is how integrity within is formed.
