The Ransom Collective breaks silence with “Tongue Tied”

Written in 2020 and finished across multiple cities and studios, the track marks the band’s first official release in four years

The Ransom Collective returns with a new single, “Tongue Tied,” their first official release after a four-year hiatus. The bossa-infused, indie pop track feels like a gentle reopening of a well-worn photo album: familiar, warm, and unexpectedly alive.

The band hasn’t been together in the way they used to, but this release is a choice to look back with gratitude and to move forward with intention: a snapshot of who they were and a reminder of what still connects them.

“Tongue Tied actually lived in the studio for more than three years,” the eclectic six-piece collective shares in a press statement. “We recorded parts of it even before the pandemic. We had to shelve it as the band slowed down and some of us moved out of town. We started picking production back up remotely, recording from different studios and spaces, then eventually finished it in Manila in late 2025.”

Lags Returns With Emotional New Single “Pansamantala”

After taking a year-long hiatus from releasing music, singer-songwriter Lags officially marks his return with the heartfelt new single “Pansamantala,” released on February 20, 2026. The artist is currently managed by GLXY Talent Management and signed under Universal Records.

“Pansamantala” is a deeply emotional acoustic ballad that explores the painful reality of loving someone who ultimately chooses their past over the present. The song was born from an intimate late-night talk with a close friend searching for closure, only to confront the painful realization that he was never truly the one chosen. That heavy, honest moment lingered — and Lags transformed it into a song that captures the quiet devastation of being left behind.

Built around raw Tagalog lyricism and a sincere, stripped-down arrangement, the track follows the confusion and heartbreak of someone asking the question many fear to say out loud: “Paano na ako?” From the opening plea “Tumingin ka sa’king mga mata, di mo ba ko nakikita” to the crushing realization of being “pinagpalit sa nakaraan,” the song unfolds like an intimate conversation, mirroring the emotional journeys of many listeners.
