Cheats - 'Tawid'

Cheats are back with their first Tagalog single 'Tawid', which drops alongside its music video.

"I remember when Jim brought it out at rehearsal and we enthusiastically worked on it right away," guitarist Jason Caballa shares with Bandwagon in a message. Frontman Jim Bacarro adds, "I've had this demo for a long time now and I just didn't like it enough to bring to the band and arrange. I then sent it to Ali Sangalang of Linya-Linya for him to write lyrics for it and from there the song came to life."

The music video, which the group directed and produced themselves, was shot at a farm in Cavite, after they'd all tested negative for COVID-19 prior to meeting up. "The plan was to shoot a couple of videos, jam on some new tunes, and bond after almost 10 months of not seeing each other," Caballa says, teasing that another music video will be coming soon.

Shanne Dandan - 'Sandali Lang'

Shanne Dandan has dropped 'Sandali Lang,' her first single for the year. The new track, which was arranged and produced by Zild, was written back in 2017 and tells the story of two lovers on the verge of breaking up—steeped in melancholy.

Shanne reveals to Bandwagon that the song wasn't based on a personal experience. She shares, "I was inspired by everything that surrounded me that year—my friends’ stories, the films I watched, and the music I listened to. Somehow, it became a song closer to me when I remember the very night I wrote its lyrics on a piece of paper."

ena mori x Pamcy - 'FALLINLOVE! (Pamcy Remix'

ena mori continues to drop new imaginings of her single 'FALL INLOVE!' with electronic music producer and DJ Pamcy's remix of the track. 

"The idea of remixing the song came after I released the Reimagined version of 'FALL INLOVE!'. 'FALL INLOVE!' originally is very bright and dancy, but I got curious about other artist’s take on the song," ena mori tells Bandwagon. "I discovered Pamcy’s work through a mutual friend and I thought she was perfect for the remix."

Pamcy says she was thrilled and excited to put her own spin to 'FALL INLOVE!' She reveals, "This track is an amazing pop song and I wanted to take the playfulness of her vocals and cheeky lyricism to a different dimension. I had so much fun recreating this song and it was an honor to work with such a talented artist."
