Iman Fandi Turns Confidence Into a Statement With “IT IS”

Mixing modern pop and R&B with a mischievous edge, her latest release is a fearless declaration of self-worth

Singaporean singer Iman Fandi steps forward with a renewed vision on “IT IS,” out today on all digital music platforms worldwide.

Bold, playful, and self-assured, "IT IS" distills a clear, unapologetic message of feminine confidence and self-worth. The song rests on the belief that real value is demonstrated rather than promised and on the certainty that comes with knowing your worth, refusing to justify it, and insisting on action instead of words. It embodies a woman fully grounded in her own strength, who will not make herself smaller, explain away her value, or wait quietly to be picked.

"This is something I have personally learned throughout my life," Iman shares. "While the song's message is rooted in confidence and self-possession, it also carries a playful nod to the people who always ask, 'Is this song about me?' The answer is part mystery, part mischief: if you think it is about you, maybe it is."

Longtime fans, old souls savor the magic of Bread at Smart Araneta Coliseum

How ‘Toast: The Best of Bread’ echoes Araneta City's timeless charm

Bread's recent stop at Smart Araneta Coliseum gave fans a reason to celebrate the kind of music that never really leaves. Held last August 12, Toast: The Best of Bread drew a strong crowd to the Big Dome, where longtime listeners and younger fans sang along to familiar favorites such as Make It With You and Everything I Own.

For some, the evening brought back memories tied to songs they had loved for decades. For others, it was a chance to hear live the music they first encountered through their parents, family playlists, or karaoke nights. What connected everyone was the ease with which the songs still filled the room, sounding as familiar as ever while finding a place with a new generation. That feeling of continuity made Smart Araneta Coliseum an especially fitting setting for the night.
