MANILA, PHILIPPINES—Our favorite post-punk extraordinaire, lambanog brewer, skater, and barber Sexy Jay has dropped yet another gritty track on streaming, and it's the crowd favorite“Singaw”—out on May 21, 2026, via Offshore Music.
The Taguig-based art punk artist had already been performing this song live for years, where it generated countless reactions for its absurd premise surrounding the pain of mouth ulcers andits hypnotic instrumentation reminiscent of the brooding energy of Joy Division’s “Disorder,” off the classic 1979 album, Unknown Pleasures.
“July last year nabuo yung idea ng “Singaw”, pero hindi pafinal yung process non [I got to create “Singaw” July of last year, but the process of it was not final yet],” Jay Villarosa (the man behind Sexy Jay), shares, citing where the song first came tobe, “May singaw ako nung time na yon kaya yan pumasok na lyrics habang pinapakinggan ko yung beat na nagawa ko [I had mouth ulcers then so those were the lyrics I thought of while listening to the beat I created].”
A lyric video of “Singaw” will also be available upon releaseday. Created by Jyzel Monzon, the video will be released on Offshore Music PH's official YouTube channel.
When asked why “Singaw” was the second single that followed his anticipated first release “Daga”, the artist simplystated that this is his second favorite track in his upcomingalbum, set to be released sometime in June 2026.

About Sexy Jay
Jay Villarosa, most known under the moniker, Sexy Jay, isa reinvention of the rising post-punk sound in the PH local indie scene. Figuring out his love for the genre through thesoundtracks of skate tricks on YouTube, Sexy Jay formulated his sonic persona into a more atmospheric and experimental jive through the use of synth-heavy tracks with a touch of electronica, and lyrics bordering "fun" and "nonsensical".
He first started recording most of his independently released tracks in the bathroom and the mic of a wired earphone, dubbing them as "Toilet Records". With this, he utilizes the soft echoes of the space and the imperfect sound effects of the voice through the cheap mic as a deliberate stylistic choice for the vocals of his songs.
Albeit uncommon, Sexy Jay's mission for his music is toreach as many ears as possible as he recognizes thatmost of the themes of his projects revolve around apositive charge almost everyone can freely "Zombie" dance their way through.
In 2026, Sexy Jay signed under Offshore Music, gearing up for the release of the much-awaited song "Daga" and other future music projects.
