SunKissed Lola Returns with Honest New Single “Edi Magalit Ka”

After more than a year since their last EP release, SunKissed Lola returns with “Edi Magalit Ka,” a warm, playful, and honest new single that builds on the heartfelt storytelling behind previous fan favorites such as “Pasilyo,” “Paki Sabi,” and “Makalimutan Ka.” Turning a familiar Filipino phrase into a song about love, patience, and choosing the relationship over the argument, the track marks a fresh yet familiar chapter for the band.

Known for heartfelt songs about love, longing, and the emotions people carry through relationships, SunKissed Lola enters a new chapter with a track that feels both familiar and refreshing. “Edi Magalit Ka” takes its title from a phrase often heard in everyday conversations, especially between couples and friends, but the band gives it a softer meaning. Instead of sounding dismissive or prideful, the song becomes an affectionate way of saying that even when things get difficult, love is still there.

Possible re-press in the works ahead of the reunion tour

Tickets to Year 33: TEETH The Reunion – Legacy Tour (Manila leg), now officially on sale via SM Tickets

The limited-edition vinyl pressing of TEETH’s self-titled debut album has officially sold out within a day of its release, as reported by Backspacer Records, the independent label and record store responsible for the album’s pressing and distribution.

The overwhelming response serves as proof of the record’s enduring impact in Filipino alternative rock more than three decades after its original release.

“Aside from being fans ourselves of so many OPM artists like Teeth, we have always looked forward to expanding the range of titles we produce and have on our shelves,” shared Robert Tuazon, founder of Backspacer Records. “Teeth’s debut album is the longest-standing (1995) album we have had the honor of bringing to life. While we did expect a strong response from the fans for this iconic album, the demand speaks to both the generational impact of this album, and the recognition of physical media as touchstones to the culture then and now.”
