We're almost half way through March!

As we "celebrate" the coming anniversary of life in quarantine with the curfew kicking off next week, it's time to get lost in new tunes to drive our worries away.

BLACKPINK's ROSÉ has also shared her 2-track debut solo album R with the stunning visual for 'On the Ground'.

SB19 - 'What?'

P-Pop stars SB19 dropped their highly anticipated comeback single 'What?' with a message of "self-love and empowerment" as they introduce fans to their new era, Ikalawang Yugto.

“A lot of people still doubt us, denouncing everything that we do and everything that we're trying to achieve. We love what we do, that's why we do it respectfully," Main rapper and lead vocalist Pablo (formerly known as Sejun) shared, "‘What?’ is about self-love and empowerment. Each of us has our own flag. We should be proud of it and raise it as much as we can. As SB19 and as individuals, we know that we're not the best at everything, but that shouldn't stop us from what we want to achieve.”

Suspiria Pink - Lonely Hearts

Suspiria Pink linked with Cheats vocalist Saab Magalona for their latest offering and second single for the year 'Lonely Hearts'.

In a message to Bandwagon, drummer Lio Benson revealed that 'Lonely Hearts' had been in the group's backlog for a while. "We always got cold feet trying to finish it," he said. "It ended up being very different from what I thought it would be, but in the best way possible. I think we've created something that stands on its own, yet finds it place musically and thematically amongst the other songs on our debut album, which also happens to be a concept record."

Magalona revealed that Offshore Music head Ely Buendia e-mailed her about Suspiria Pink's request to collaborate. "The power of technology - I've never met Lio, Diego or Gwen but now we've made a song together! I'm really happy with how it turned out," she shared.

dia maté - 'Heart Hates Me'

19-year-old Filipina singer-songwriter dia maté dropped her new single 'Heart Hates Me' via Island Records Philippines. 

"I write and produce my own material,” she shared in a statement. “Sometimes I start off by making a beat. When I complete it, I try to create a melody over that. Once I have the melody down, I’ll write the lyrics and then record them. Once everything is recorded, I’ll add backing vocals, harmonies, and sometimes I’ll sample my vocals and use weird effects.”

Tonie Enriquez and Dave Anonuevo - 'love ain’t real'

Singapore-based Filipino artists Tonie Enriquez and Dave Anonuevo have teamed up for their new collaborative offering 'love ain't real', about the uncertainty of love, via Tarsier Records.

"The Filipino lyrics in the bridge was our personal favorite because we both know that the ‘hugot’ language hits the "hardest. The transition from first drop to the bridge strikes to represent the feeling of being complete to feeling empty,” the duo shared in a statement.

Riot Logic - 'Bakit 'Di Lumalamig'

It's Joey - 'Vaccine Challenge'

In a message to Bandwagon, he shared thoughts on what inspired the track, "Will we reach our targets and achieve herd immunity? If so, when? And will it be paid for by the government, or are we relying on donations from other countries? If so, what happened to the billions of pesos that we borrowed for the pandemic response? It’s a song that aims to ask questions indirectly."
