SB19 is releasing a comeback single! The P-pop collective is joining forces with world renowned hitmakers Ian Asher and Terry Zhong for their new track. “Moonlight” is set to release on May 3 and is the group’s first single since their 2023 smash “Gento.”
SB19 took to social media to reveal the song, share the artwork, and share a short preview of its vibe sonically. You can check out their announcement post below.
In additional SB19 news, Pablo, Stell, Josh, Ken, and Justin will almost surely perform their new single during their set for their SB19 PAGTATAG! FINALE concert in Manila on May 18 and 19.
SB19’s Justin makes his official debut as a solo recording artist with the release of his new single “surreal,” which also comes with an accompanying music video! The laidback track, which was originally written two years ago, reflects on the beauty of things happening when they are supposed to.
Justin explained the inspiration behind his lyrics: "It's all these scenarios that are unlikely to happen in the real world, but you find them as an escape from reality, so you continue to dream and dream... And surprisingly, you found someone who enjoys imagination as much as you do.”
The song also includes collaborations from Radkidz (PABLO and Josue) and Gelou of Filipino girl group YARA. Check out Justin's "surreal" music video below!
P-Pop star Josh Cullen has just dropped the official remix of 'Get Right' featuring Filipino rapper Yuridope. The SB19 member also recruited multi-talented producer Cursebox to help create a new sonic canvas that pushes the envelope of different genres.
Josh described his experience working with Cursebox: “Cursebox deconstructed the beat, experimenting with sounds and rhythms to breathe new life into the track. Throughout the process, we provided feedback, ensuring the arrangement aligned with our vision. In the end, Cursebox's unique touch added depth to the song, elevating it to new heights while respecting its roots."
He also complimented Yuridope's fast workflow: "The dude is not just talented; he is genuine. And that verse of his? It was like he blinked and boom, and it was done. Literal na naglabada lang. (He literally washed it out)."
He further explained: "This collaboration opens doors to new connections and possibilities, enriching our musical journey and expanding our reach. And with this remix, we're kicking off a larger journey, pioneering a unique sub-genre I'd like to call ‘hip-pop,’ which promises to bring even more innovation and excitement to the music scene.

SB19's PABLO and his brother Josue join forces for his first release of 2024! "DETERMINADO" is a genre-blending track that infuses both hip-hop and rock influences. The song represents the journey that PABLO has taken both as an artist and as an individual, reinforcing himself as someone who finds moments of vulnerability and strength in the face of chaos. He described the song in his own words: “It’s a realization when we find the courage to actually do what we want, and what kind of artist we aspire to be. We are confronting our fears and roadblocks, but still moving forward.”
PABLO also applauded his brother for his input on creating the unique sonics of "DETERMINADO" and their overall creative process. “We're a team, we always work hand in hand, always learning from each other, and drawing
inspiration back and forth,” said the multi-talented soloist. “We grew up in the same environment so we just vibe and connect easily.”
The rapper/singer also revealed that he plans to drop more solo songs this year: “Again, going back to the song title, we are indeed on this journey. I have so many things planned to do in 2024, and definitely one of those is to release my own
album.”

JVKE's hit record "golden hour" has just surpassed one billion streams and has celebrated the milestone by releasing a new remix featuring P-pop stars SB19. You definitely have heard this song, as the catchy record was a hit all over social media.
Produced by JVKE, “golden hour” is a classic love song that highlights his ability to articulate the feelings of romance and beauty through his lyrics. The vivid imagery is backed by a complex instrumental arrangement of a piano and strings that builds throughout the track. The remix of "golden hour" combines SB19’s incredible vocal harmonies with JVKE's trademark production style, creating a stunning new bi-lingual version in Filipino and English.
On the release of “golden hour”, JVKE shared, “This might just be my favourite song i’ve ever written. It feels like a pause in time, with all your attention on that special someone. the sun is shining... it’s your golden hour. I wanted to capture the emotion that you feel when you see something beautiful. That feeling is golden hour.”
Speaking on the remix with SB19 he noted, "It’s always fun collaborating with another artist - just like how it is when we, as members of a group, collaborate with each other. But it’s something else when there’s a collaboration of two cultures, which is what happened when we collaborated with JVKE. It’s really special how the embedded culture in each of us affects how we write songs and how we portray our experiences in a song, and we’re glad that we’re able to include some parts of our Filipino culture in this song.
JVKE added, “SB19 are crazy talented. As an artist, when I open my art to others so they can add their own interpretation, I never know how im going to feel about what they contribute. With SB19, I was just blown away. I hope this isn’t that last time we work together.”
