grentperez and HONNE Unveil Collaborative Track "folding chairs on the moon"

September 19, 2025

LISTEN HERE

September 19th, 2025 - Philippines – Breakout artist grentperez and beloved alt-pop duo HONNE have collaborated on a new track "folding chairs on the moon".  The smooth track is a soulful blend of dreamy vocals and a synth-driven groove. The collaboration marks an exciting meeting of grentperez's laid back charm and HONNE's signature atmospheric sound, delivering a track that feels intimate yet expansive at the same time. 

Of the collaboration, HONNE shares, "We first reached out to grentperez back in 2022 on Instagram after discovering his music. We sent him a couple of emojis, he replied saying ‘aint no way boy’, and the rest is history. We had a feeling that it would be a lot of fun to work with him on something. So we went into our session in London with excitement, and we were right to do so. Sometimes when you collaborate with someone, it all flows so easily, and ‘folding chairs on the moon’ was a song that just fell out of the 3 of us, all in one day, and we all loved it immediately.We’re super proud of this song, so happy to be releasing it alongside our new friend, and can’t wait for everyone to hear it".

grentperez elaborates, "We wrote ‘folding chairs on the moon’ in no time at all, say 3 hours? Writing about a sort of escape to the stars, to depart and detach from this earth to be with someone you love, alone, a ‘dream’ scenario. Safe to say we’re dreamers, HONNE and I. We ate mindblowingly good almonds from Indonesia, ordered some takeout, played some cute bitty-boopy instruments, recorded my verse and chorus and called it a day."

About grentperez:
At just 23-years-old, Filipino-Australian singer/songwriter grentperez has mastered his own genre of pop music: carefree but soulful, offbeat but refined, escapist but unforgettably sincere. Since first bursting onto the scene with his gold-certified single “Cherry Wine” (a No. 1 hit on Spotify’s Viral 50 chart in several countries), grentperez has morphed from a bedroom-pop sensation to an undeniable creative force, endlessly matching his playful charm and sophisticated vocal talents with a truly unbridled imagination.

With over 500 million listens on streaming platforms, a multi-continental touring resume, and notable support from tastemakers including
 NPR Music, MTV, Teen Vogue and more, grentperez is on the precipice of something big, notably like winning Emerging Songwriter of the Year at the 2024 APRA Awards.

His debut album
 'Backflips In A Restaurant', which was released earlier this year, captures a genre-bending evolution of his roots as a bedroom-pop sensation, mixing elements of R&B, indie-folk, pop-punk, symphonic pop, ’70s soft-rock, and so much more.  

Since his explosive debut, grentperez has grown a sizable audience across Asia, with his 
Top 10 Streaming Markets globally including Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand and Taiwan. 


About HONNE:

Deep down, HONNE has always been about the friendship between two people. Sure, the UK alt-pop duo have reached incredible heights – from those initial humble recording sessions in Bow, East London, they’ve notched up more than three billion streams, going platinum or multi-platinum in many countries across Asia and selling more than 210,000 tickets for their live shows. But alongside this, it’s been a story of growth, maturity, and kinship.

Since their debut in 2016, the duo have amassed a huge global audience and collaborated with the likes of 
BTS, Tom Misch, Khalid, Niki and more. They've graced the stages of Coachella, Glastonbury, Summer Sonic and continue winning over crowds around the world.

HONNE's distinctive brand of forward-pushing, yet deeply human, soul-laden alt-pop persistently resonates on a massive scale in the new era, marked by their latest album 
'OUCH'.
