Upon its release, “chaotic” garnered positive acclaim from music critics, with pop culture magazine UPROXX praising the track for sitting “comfortably within the sad-streaked palette Tate has already established for getting her emotions out in song form.” ET Canada called it a “heartbreaking new track” with lyrics that navigate confessional fearlessness and depth.

The award-winning Filipino girl group joins SB19 and KAIA as part of Sony Music and ShowBT family
It’s official: 4th Impact is the newest addition to Sony Music Philippines and ShowBT Philippines’ roster of music talents, which include P-Pop kings SB19 and five-member girl group KAIA.
No stranger to conquering the international music scene, 4th Impact made waves in the UK after finishing fifth on the British singing contest, The X Factor and peaking at No. 10 on iTunes Brazil with their 2020 single “K(NO)W MORE.” Late last year, the award-winning girl group co-headlined the crossover orchestra concert, Forte with SB19, which received glowing reviews for its exemplary fusion of classical and Pinoy pop music on a live stage format.
Heavily inspired by Michel Gondry’s romantic sci-fi film, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, the music video finds the folk-pop phenom waking up in bed on a distant shoreline of a beach, while navigating her journey towards healing and self-preservation.
The ethereal clip is directed by Josh Elefan, a close friend and frequent collaborator of Benin. “We actually came up with the concept together,” said the 28-year-old multi-talented artist. “This video is so personal to the both of us.”

When the first Superorganism music surfaced in 2017, the group’s in-your-face aesthetic — a post-everything mishmash of psychedelic indie pop and fizzy, funky electronica — quickly began to resonate with the likes of Frank Ocean, Vampire Weekend, Jehnny Beth and Gorillaz as well as finding them legions of fans across the world.
Superorganism are pleased to announce their eagerly awaited return with news of their second album; entitled World Wide Pop and due for release on July 15th, it is their first new music since 2018’s self-titled debut.
Superorganism have mutated and are now based around the core of Orono, Harry, Tucan, B and Soul but World Wide Pop also brings in an international set of collaborators including Stephen Malkmus, CHAI, Pi Ja Ma, Dylan Cartlidge as well as legendary musician and actor Gen Hoshino.
ABS-CBN International and TFC Events’ return to live shows proved to be auspicious as the Los Angeles leg of Revelation: The Concert Tour in the U.S. was well-attended. Stellar artists Dingdong Avanzado, his wife Jessa Zaragoza, and their daughter Jayda had the Alex Theater chockfull of fans from various parts of California, some coming as far as Arizona.
It was clear that the audience has been looking forward to in-person events after staying home these past two years since the pandemic began. Annabel De Leon of Rancho Cucamonga happily declared, “Finally we had the chance to get together and connect.”
A 13-episode romantic comedy series conceptualized with Puregold, produced by award-winning filmmaker Chris Cahilig, and directed by critically-acclaimed Victor Villanueva, “Ang Babae sa Likod ng Face Mask” marks the introduction of social media personality and comedienne Herlene Budol in her very first starring role.

Milky Chance — the eclectic German pop duo whose freewheeling, adventurous songs have attracted over 5+ billion streams and multiple Platinum certifications the world over — share their new single “Synchronize” out now. It begins with a strummy, sunny chorus inspired by The Mamas & the Papas before the bottom gives out and it transports listeners to a packed dancefloor, pulsating synths and an insistent backbeat snapping you out of a Californian daydream. It’s the type of idiosyncratic, collagist track that has catapulted Milky Chance to global fame — a sudden left turn that takes you to exactly where you need to be.

Click HERE to listen to "Another Man's Jeans" now.
“Another Man’s Jeans” cuts right to the chase in conversation with an ex. Wild guitar licks wrap around handclaps as horns pipe up in the background before Ashe declares, “I don’t want to talk about the fights in your mustang, let’s just think about the nights drinking rosé-colored champagne.”
On the inspiration for the track, Ashe proclaimed:
“‘Another Man’s Jeans’ is about unashamed and uninhibited confidence, loosening up and having a good time. It sounds like what carefree feels like. It’s sexy! And loud! And fun! It’s a reminder to not take life too seriously.”
The radio-friendly pop ballad is a culmination of collaborations on multiple fronts. For the writing, Kheng teamed up with fellow Singaporean singer-songwriter, Linying, best known for penning and performing the theme song for 2021’s National Day Parade, ‘The Road Ahead’.
"Writing Good For A Time was as much fun as it was bittersweet. Linying was the perfect co-writer for this — breaking down heartbreak and joy is what she does best and it felt like we left little pieces of ourselves in this tune."
Together, they penned lyrics that captured the desire to stretch time for as long as possible to savour the last moments before the unavoidable end of a meaningful relationship.
Good For A Time is more than just a breakup song, it's about a couple presently breaking up and going through the painful process of untethering while looking back fondly and appreciating the love that was."
Kheng leaned on the expertise of Snakeweed Studios' Josh Wei (CL, Gentlebones) to oversee production on the track.
"Josh was a godsend. Not one stone was left unturned. We experimented with many arrangements on different instruments, and I'm glad we landed on this one."

With the release of Wet Leg’s self-titled debut album just over a month away (due April 8th), the Isle of Wight duo (Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers) are pleased to unveil their new single “Angelica”.
Named after Rhian's oldest friend, “Angelica” was recorded in Hester's living room, by bandmate Joshua Mobaraki. A mixture of the absurd (“She brought lasagne to the party”), the sardonic (“I don’t wanna listen to your band”) and social angst (“I look at my feet then I look for the door”), it's a trippy, synth-kissed journey through parties and regrets. "It's laced with disenchantment," Rhian says. "Even though the chorus is 'good times, all the time'. That's just impossible, isn't it?”
