Across different chapters of Ben&Ben’s Spotify journey, iconic songs continue to resonate with  listeners and find new meaning across generations. In 2017, while still a duo, they became one of six Philippine artists featured in Spotify’s Early Noise program, introducing their music to listeners looking for emerging local acts. A year later, “Kathang Isip” marked another milestone in their discovery, reaching 10 million streams and landing on the cover of Pinoy Chart-Toppers, bringing the band to a wider OPM audience. By 2020, Ben&Ben had become Spotify Philippines’ Most Streamed Artist, reflecting how early discovery had translated into a deeper fan base and wider reach.

Global pop sensation Tate McRae returns with “Housewife”

GRAMMY-nominated and multi-platinum selling artist Tate McRae releases her new single “Housewife” alongside the music video via RCA Records. The pop anthem is about a woman who can’t be contained and explores themes of love, fame, and independence. 

The cinematic and playful music video, directed by Pierre-Ange Carlotti, was shot in the south of France and choreographed by Sergio Reis (Madonna, Miley Cyrus, Troye Sivan & Charli XCX). It showcases a glamorous illusion that slowly fades into a quiet ache and the empowering but bittersweet truth that claiming your absolute freedom can sometimes mean sacrificing true love. 

This is the first music release since Tate’s critically acclaimed #1 album So Close To What. This Sunday, Tate is set to perform at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show live in Los Angeles.
