Felip to join AEGIS and Jose Mari Chan for a holiday-themed concert

December 4, 2023

Manila, Philippines December 4, 2023 (6 p.m.) – P-Pop soloist FELIP is the latest addition to AEGIS: The Christmas Bonus Concert, happening at The Theatre at Solaire in Paranaque City, Metro Manila, on December 20, 2023, from 8:00 p.m. onwards.

The promising newcomer, also popularly known as Ken to the legion of SB19 fans all over the world, will be joining Diamond-awardee balladeer Jose Mari Chan and the Manila String Machine for the year-ender event featuring pop-rock royalty AEGIS, who will be hitting the concert stage with their career-spanning hits.

Just recently, Felip released a cover of “Moving Closer” as part of Warner Music Philippines’ 30th Anniversary celebration. He also represented the Philippines at the Music Matters in Singapore a few months ago. The edgy crossover act is also rumored to perform a special number that will surely rock The Theatre at Solaire.

During the press conference held last November 20, 2023, AEGIS was asked about the current generation of artists that they admire, and look forward to doing a collaboration with. Without hesitation, the power ballad band mentioned SB19 as the artist whose journey they relate the most. They even gamely danced to the P-Pop group’s hit single “Gento” in one of their TikTok posts.

“Felip was a unanimous pick because he is from Cagayan De Oro (CDO), and his music resonates with AEGIS on a personal level,” one of the producers explained. “Some of the members are from CDO as well. We really are in awe with how he integrates Bisaya in his lyrics, and how he exudes confidence in his performance.”

Tickets to AEGIS: The Christmas Bonus Concert are available at Ticketworld outlets nationwide and on their official website. SSVIP ticketholders are entitled for a Meet and Greet (M&G) session after the concert.

AEGIS: The Christmas Bonus Concert is presented by True Creators Studio, Upplause Events, and Solaire Resort Entertainment City; and co-presented by Katinko, in partnership with GNN Pop.

MGMT SALUTE 90's ALTERNATIVE ICONS IN “BUBBLEGUM DOG”

December 4, 2023

WATCH CLIP DIRECTED BY JULIA VICKERMAN AND TOM SCHARPLING 
 
NEW ALBUM 
LOSS OF LIFE
OUT FEBRUARY 23RD ON MOM + POP

 

MGMT have released 
“Bubblegum Dog,” the second single from their upcoming album Loss Of Life. The accompanying video, directed by Julia Vickerman and writer/director/The Best Show co-host Tom Scharpling, finds MGMT’s Andrew VanWyngarden and Ben Goldwasser paying tribute to numerous scenes from classic ‘90s alternative videos.
 
“We all saw the video for "Bubblegum Dog" as an opportunity to combine the charming, DIY, surreal, cardboard craft aesthetic of shows like Yo Gabba Gabba and The Mighty Boosh with these ultra-serious grunge videos we grew up watching on MTV –  all that heavy, brooding angst smashed up against absurd childlike fun,” Vickerman and Scharpling say. 
 
“Ben and Andrew are legitimately funny guys, so we were excited they got to really go for it with their acting, paying homage to the eternally moody mid-90's rock stars they looked up to when they were kids,”  they continue. “They were completely game for everything, playing around with different wigs/costumes/personas/facial hair and continually chiming in with new ideas along the way. That was a wonderful feeling, because it let us know they were having a good time. For the climax of the video, they let us shoot gallons of pink slime at their faces, which we appreciated. Ben got quite a bit in his mouth, which was unintentional … but he thought it was funny, so then we were allowed to think it was funny.”
 
Watch the “Bubblegum Dog” video 
HERE, and pre-order Loss Of Life HERE
Video embed
 
Due Feb. 23 from Mom + Pop Music, Loss Of Life is the long-awaited follow-up to 2018’s Little Dark Age. VanWyngarden and Goldwasser produced the 10-track project with Patrick Wimberly (Solange, Lil Yachty, Joji). Longtime collaborator Dave Fridmann (The Flaming Lips, Spoon) mixed the album as he has done on the group’s past four full-lengths.
 
Christine and the Queens appear on the song “Dancing in Babylon” – the first-ever feature on an MGMT album, which has additional production supplied by Daniel Lopatin (Oneohtrix Point Never)and James Richardson. Brian Burton (Danger Mouse) also provides additional production on “Mother Nature” and Miles A. Robinson served as associate producer and engineer across the album.
 
The “Bubblegum Dog” video follows the stunning, 2n-produced animated video for “Mother Nature,” which was directed by longtime collaborator Jordan Fish. The themes of Loss Of Life will be further explored through future videos made by a remarkable roster of writers, producers and directors.
 
“All joking aside (never!), we are very proud of this album and the fact that it was a relatively painless birth after a lengthy gestation period, and are happy to be releasing this baby into the world with Mom + Pop,” MGMT says. “Musically speaking, we are running at around 20% adult contemporary and no more than this, please.”

Formed in 2002, MGMT released their influential, Grammy-nominated debut album Oracular Spectacular in 2007, followed by Congratulations in 2010 and a self-titled project three years later. The title track of the duo’s most recent album, 2018’s Little Dark Age, became an out-of-nowhere viral smash during the COVID-19 pandemic. It spawned more than five million videos about social justice, trans rights, anime and the war in Ukraine, and is currently the band’s #1 most streamed song and third most streamed all-time behind “Electric Feel” and “Kids.”

About ATEEZ:

 

ATEEZ, short for ‘A TEEnager Z,’ is an eight-member South Korean group that has taken the world by storm immediately after their debut in October 2018. Known for standout performances that combine runway aesthetics with darker tones lined by hip-hop and electronic trap mixes, the octet have turned storytelling into a full musical experience. The eight members of ATEEZ are HONGJOONG, SEONGHWA, YUNHO, YEOSANG, SAN, MINGI, WOOYOUNG, and JONGHO. Though the initial meaning of their group name stood for ‘everything teenagers need from A to Z’, they have since evolved and grown as artists alongside their fans (named ATINY) to become ‘everything you need from A to Z’.

 

Establishing themselves as top artists early on in their career with a sold-out global tour only four months after their debut, they continue to break their own records. In a unique narrative that starts from the very first release in the TREASURE album series and continues through the FEVER and THE WORLDmasterpieces, the group combines bestseller narratives with personalized music that speaks to their generation. ATEEZ attained the label of being a ‘million seller’ group with their 8th EP release of THE WORLD EP.1 : MOVEMENT, among other achievements of being nominated and winning titles throughout the years as the Next Generation Act and Top Act in award ceremonies. Their most recent release THE WORLD EP.2 : OUTLAW broke their highest personal record on the Billboard 200 Chart, debuting at 2nd and charting for five weeks.

KICKS OFF THE FESTIVE SEASON WITH HEARTWARMING NEW TRACK "CHRISTMAS STARTS TONIGHT"

December 1, 2023

LISTEN HERE

Photo Credit: G L Askew

It's December, which means rising star grentperez is back with his annual Christmas drop! The Filipino-Australian singer-songwriter has released a delicate new song "Christmas Starts Tonight", out now everywhere via AWAL and Fast Friends. Fans can stream it here: grentperez.ffm.to/christmasstartstonight

grentperez explains, "Christmas, the time for presents, laughter, gatherings and greetings, and is a time that I love very dearly. 'Christmas Starts Tonight' is about the excitement that comes with the season, the feeling of wonder and cheer with every passing day that leads to Christmas night. In a way, you can make Christmas Day every day if you really want to."

"Christmas Starts Tonight" arrives on the heels of the release of his highly anticipated EP ‘When We Were Younger’, a seven-song collection centered around the concept of nostalgia. Inspired by his parents' record collection that soundtracked his childhood (Dionne Warwick, The Carpenters, The Bee Gees + more), the intuitive and unexpected sonic detours throughout ‘When We Were Younger’ are what make grentperez’s breezy, lithe pop songs feel full of life.

grentperez – "Stuck On You" (Mini Music Video)
From the 'When We Were Younger' EP

Multi-media artist, singer-songwriter and producer grentperez’s handcrafted DIY pop instantly soothes on a series of releases that have helped endear him to rapidly growing audiences at home in Australia as well as further afield in Southeast Asia, North America and Europe.

His debut single 
"Cherry Wine", released in September 2021 shot up the Spotify viral charts across the globe, including the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, and swept up the #1 spot in Singapore soon after its release. In less than two years, grentperez’s catalogue has seen over 200 million streams to date, and over 2 million monthly listeners on Spotify, with hundreds of new fans discovering him daily. 

In October 2023, grentperez was the supporting artist for Rex Orange County's Manila concert and played his first-ever shows in Singapore and Jakarta. Next year, he will be heading back to the Philippines to play at Wanderland Festival 2024 alongside regional and international artists including Jack Johnson, Parcels, and Novo Amor.

Born in Australia, grentperez grew up as the youngest of three kids in a Filipino family. Raised on a diet of The Eagles, The Beatles, and Queen thanks to his dad before moving on to the likes of Musiq Soulchild. As soon as he received his first nylon string acoustic, he taught himself Jeremy Passion’s “Lemonade”, learning chords, shapes, and plucking patterns. At the end of 2013, he launched his 
YouTube channel which currently sits at over half a MILLION subscribers.

SIMU LIU DEBUT EP ANXIOUS-AVOIDANT OUT NOW!

November 29, 2023

http://simuliu.lnk.to/ANXIOUS-AVOIDANT

Multi-talented singer, songwriter, musician, actor Simu Liu has released his highly anticipated debut EP entitled ANXIOUS-AVOIDANT, on his own Markham Valley Records.
 
Music is a big passion for Simu, and his unmistakable talent is something he has been nurturing since he was very young. He studied piano as a child and was heavily influenced by the well-crafted pop songs of the likes of Backstreet Boys, *NSYNC and Usher and then as he grew up, more guitar led artists such as Coldplay and John Mayer. With his debut EP, Simu presents an array of beautifully crafted songs that are packed full of stadium filling hooks.
 
Simu adds, “ANXIOUS-AVOIDANT marks the beginning of my journey into music. I’ve always been an admirer of the power of songwriting and I’m hoping that these four songs on the EP will give listeners a window into a different part of me. Tonally, I wanted to create a sound that felt familiar but mature, relevant but also timeless. I draw a lot of inspiration from bands like Coldplay and One Republic, as well as artists like John Mayer and Lewis Capaldi. The name comes from a form of attachment style, which was recently popularized in culture and media. Anxious-avoidants are some of the most turbulent and insecure daters, and that also happens to be exactly what I am. To celebrate, I decided to write songs that encapsulated this chaos.”
 
A true rarity in every arena, he projects a distinct voice on screen in various blockbuster films such as Barbie and Marvel’s Shang-Chi and The Legend of the Ten Rings, he is a New York Times-bestselling author, for the memoir We Were Dreamers: An Immigrant Superhero Origin Story, and now as a dynamic singer, songwriter, and musician. 
 
In 2021 he starred in the first Asian-fronted movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe - Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings which marked the next step on his musical journey. He recorded the fan favourite “Hot Soup” for Shang-Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings: The Album. He cultivated an inimitable sound with songs like “Don’t.” Beyond praise from Good Morning America, BuzzFeed, Pop Sugar, and more, Rolling Stone hailed it as “heartfelt, inspirational.”

Simu will be performing his new EP live for the first time at his debut headline show in Los Angeles on December 13th at the iconic Hotel Café. Tickets go on sale Saturday November 18th @ 10am PT.

ALEXTBH RELEASES DEBUT ALBUM 'IT'S ALL GOOD'

November 27, 2023

Alextbh has released his debut album 'It's All Good' via EMPIRE, an album showcasing his newly refined sound steeped in confident, blissful nostalgia. His powerful messaging has taken on fearless new depths, tackling subjects around identity, discrimination, and self-love. Fans can stream 'It's All Good' here music.empi.re/itsallgoodalextbh and watch the music video for the focus track "Never Enough" here. 

During lockdown, Alex found himself discovering new artists on Boiler Room and COLORS, inspiring him to experiment with his production. The album is a soundtrack to falling in love with life, friends, or someone new – songs to scream at impromptu dance parties, and songs to to help you get through difficult moments. "10 tracks written over the course of the pandemic" is how Alex describes 
'It's All Good'. "The whole album became a relentless pursuit of sanity in a world that couldn't offer it to me. It's euphoria and torment - both packaged into a not-so-neat, ADHD-led series of stories."

On lead single "Never Enough", Alex explains, "It all started when I was trying to pay for my groceries, but the card was declined due to insufficient balance. I realised I had no money for it and ended up going home feeling major depressed, not wanting to speak to anybody. Thankfully, I'm no longer in that financial situation. But I'm still just as sad, and just as angry at capitalism."

"The idea for the music video came about when I had the idea to write about a character that's living in this video game world where he is a slave to capitalism but wants to be rid of it. I'm also definitely inspired by the movie Everything, Everywhere, All At Once because this movie portrays the absurdity of life in ways I could relate to but just never knew how to express.  Most of the assets from this music video is from LimeZu, so a major shout out to them for being awesome people! Theme aside, this was actually a fun project for me. It marries my love for music, games and 3D design."

Alextbh - "Never Enough" (Official Video)

MORE ABOUT ALEXTBH

Alextbh is a Malaysian artist with a knack for constructing blissful imagery through his blend of euphoric synth-laden pop, raw lyricism, and tender vocals. The self-taught songwriter and producer grew up on a heady cocktail of noughties pop and R&B, listening to the likes of the Backstreet Boys, Jennifer Lopez, and Justin Timberlake amid the explosion of the internet. Studying engineering at college, at weekends he would go and perform in bars in Kuala Lumpur, penning love songs on GarageBand, then later releasing them on Soundcloud.

'The Chase', his debut EP, came out in 2020, a club-ready collection of sultry R&B, showcasing the artist’s natural talent for cultivating radio-ready bangers.  Now, with his upcoming album 'It’s All Good', Alex’s sound is even more refined, influenced by artists such as New Order, channeling pure ecstasy in tracks that evoke eternal summer – to be blasted in the car, screamed at impromptu dance parties, and to soundtrack falling in love, with life, friends, or someone new.

It’s gearing up to be a mammoth year for Alextbh, who has previously already shared stages with the likes of 
Khalid, Clean Bandit, Sevdaliza, and Jess Connelly, as well as joining Yuna as direct support on her European tour in 2019. He has played festivals such as Good Vibes Festival in Malaysia, Laneway Festival in Singapore, and Lalala Fest in Indonesia, with his dream to play Roskilde Festival in Copenhagen.
