"Sikulo" is a new collaboration from Tarsier Records that connects rising OPM artists Maki, Angela Ken, and Nameless Kids’ frontman Nhiko Sabiniano. The melancholic song is an alternative-pop single that narrates the exhausting journey of two lovers who inevitably have to run in circles. Maki, Angela, and Nhiko wrote the heartbreaking song to illustrate the reality of a relationship that is bound to end.
"Sikulo" follows Maki’s previous release “HBD,” which now has over one million Spotify streams. Additionally, his “Tanong” EP has generated almost 90 million streams on Spotify alone.
“Sikulo” is Angela’s latest music release after dropping “Alas Diyes,” a song co-produced by Nhiko. The indie-pop alternative band Nameless Kids dropped a new single last January entitled “Still So In Love,” a song Nhiko also penned. Before “Sikulo,” Maki and Nhiko previously worked together for Maki’s biggest hit to date “Saan?,” which now has over 65 million Spotify streams.
