Munimuni to stage 'Alegorya' concert at the UP Theater this July!

Filipino indie-folk collective Munimuni celebrates the release of their second full-length album, Alegorya with a major concert happening on July 20, 2024 (Saturday) at the prestigious UP Theater. Aptly titled ALEGORYA: A Munimuni Concert , the highly anticipated show promises to deliver an audio-visual treat for the senses. The title of the concert is named after their latest release, which, according to the five-piece act, carries many strikingly different emotions and thoughts that don't normally belong to a single collection of songs. The critically acclaimed band considers this concert an era-defining milestone, integrating live performances with a chamber setup and a more intricate piece of storytelling. The most exciting part is how Munimuni puts careful thought into the order of the songs, and how they want the entire experience to be a worthwhile journey for their fans.  “Practically, this one is the biggest so far in terms of audience, and the longest in terms of set list...

The Ransom Collective’s Muri is slated to drop “Afternoon,” the first single off her upcoming debut EP to be released this year.   The Filipino singer-songwriter and violinist teased the project’s date of release on her social media accounts, along with the song title.   According to Muriel Gonzales, “Afternoon” was inspired by her personal experiences as a young woman navigating career and life challenges entirely on her own, in a country far away from home.   “I’ve been working on this song for quite a while,” she admits. “Without revealing too much about the creative and thought process behind Afternoon, I actually find it freeing to open up about being vulnerable and share a piece of myself through songwriting. Sometimes, expressing what you really feel helps you gain a deeper understanding of yourself as a person and as an artist. Making the entire track was both a journey and a reflection.

Bradley Simpson shares new single 'Picasso'

Bradley Simpson’s  debut solo single  ‘Cry At The Moon’  occupied a rarely explored sweet spot between styles:  classic ‘70s Americana with a surging intensity which echoes the swaggering spirit of the indie-rock greats, but also with the contemporary, pop-tinged edge that can only come from an artist who has headlined  London’s 20,000  capacity  O2  arena on multiple occasions. From that compelling introduction, Bradley   now powers into the release of his new single  ‘ Picasso ’ . Produced by the two-time  Grammy  nominee  BOOTS  ( Beyoncé ), w ith a dreamy undercurrent of ‘60s psychedelia and wonky bedroom pop,  ‘Picasso’  is symbolic of what Bradley   does so well: creating songs with an instant appeal, yet with lyrical nuances that provide a relatability for people to forge a deeper connection with. Its striking lyric  “turning torture into art”  commands attention and inspires deeper inv...
