Barbie Almalbis continues to confront her inner struggles by releasing another song that openly addresses them in a musical way, following the release of her previous songs "Desperate Hours" and "Homeostasis."

Her new song, "Happy Sad," reflects on her own mental health and the stigma behind it, while helping her process her feelings through writing songs.

The alt-pop figure explains, “Sometimes we have to let go of things, and there are just things beyond our control, and we just got to continue, walk in and through the ‘wilderness,’ but I’ve always found hope in God that even through the hard times, He is still doing something good.”

dwta’s ‘Di Naman is a confessional ode to unrequited love

The new track marks a subtle shift towards a more pop-oriented sound

Continuing her rise to mainstream acclaim, dwta releases her new single “'Di Naman” via Sony Music Entertainment. 

On her lushly arranged alt-pop track, the Albay native expresses her frustrations with someone who may not reciprocate the same infatuated feelings as hers.

As dwta describes it, “’Di Naman is a song about the playful but frustrating side of unrequited love. Back when I first started writing it, it felt like I was just venting about my crushes and my fear of rejection. But as time passed and I experienced more, I realized the song wasn't just about being scared to make the first move but also about accepting that sometimes things don’t go your way in love.”
