Set in the morally complex world of Godolkin University, Season 2 picks up as the campus reels from the fallout of Season 1’s shocking finale. With Homelander’s grip tightening across America, the students face new threats, a mysterious new Dean, and a secret program that could change everything.
Returning to her role as Marie Moreau, Jaz Sinclair shares her excitement. “We left off Season 1 having discovered a whole new level of Marie’s abilities, and I was thrilled to see where the writers were going to go from there with that. Everything felt a bit foreboding and grim, which gave me a lot to play with.”
Sinclair adds, “I like that Marie is just figuring it out as she goes, I definitely can relate to the moments of hers that are awkward and fumble-y. I like that she makes mistakes. But maybe, people also relate to feeling guilty or out of place and wanting to turn that into something good?”

Filipino pop-rock quintet NOBITA links up with Yeng Constantino in the collaborative new single “Gayuma,” out today via Sony Music Entertainment.
Caught between wanting to confess and being afraid to take the first step, the song explores a quiet kind of love that swells in secret.
“The lyrics capture the uncertainty—whether what you feel is genuine love or just something that seems magical, almost like a spell,” NOBITA shares in a press statement. “It reflects the theme of secret love because it’s about holding back, wondering if the other person feels the same way, and hoping the emotions are mutual.”
Slico’s light, clear vocals bring genuine emotion to lyrics about love. Take the line, “Init ng mga haplos mo'y nagpahiwatig na tayong dalawa ay nakabagkos, tayo’y nagkabagkos,” which highlights his ability to express deep feelings with simplicity.
The term “nagkabagkos” is a creative twist by the songwriter. Though it’s not a formal word, it feels familiar, echoing “nagkabigkis” (bound together) while also hinting at “bagkos” (but, rather). This blend captures both closeness and contradiction — the sweetness of being tied to someone and the bittersweet ache of knowing it may only exist in memory.
The Filipino alt-pop band will treat fans to a career-spanning setlist and never-before-heard songs
Filipino alternative-pop band Gracenote will be taking the center stage for their solo concert titled Walang Makakapigil, happening on September 6, 2025, at Teatrino, Promenade in Greenhills, San Juan City.
Presented by Soupstar Music, in partnership with Redlines Productions, EMI Records Philippines, and UMG Philippines, the concert will showcase some of the pop-rock quartet’s most memorable hits, along with their hidden gems and brand-new songs, all in one exciting night.
The song is an unfiltered confession, a mirror of Shanti Dope’s own battles with substance abuse, peer pressure, and his experience on the dark side of fame. What began as experimentation with an illegal substance led to a troubled path, forcing him to confront his demons and seek rehabilitation for the sake of those he loves most—his partner, his son, and his family. In a heartfelt verse, Shanti raps: Sabik na kong gawin yung halikan ka pagkagaling ng rehab. Hindi sapat sa akin na ika’y yakapin lang. Yung tamang panahon ay darating din basta kapit lang.
"Rehab" boldly challenges the shame often associated with recovering from substance abuse–Shanti presents rehabilitation as an act of strength—proof that fighting for a better life requires strength and courage. The song is for anyone who struggles with addiction and their inner demons. His reminder that you are not alone, that asking for help is not a weakness, and that change is possible. If you keep holding on, the right moment will come. As Shanti said in the song, Yung tamang panahon ay darating basta kapit lang.

A visual companion set in the haze of a late-night club, the MV follows Jewel Owusu navigating the crowded dance floor, barely keeping up with the frenetic energy and the people around her.
According to Owusu, the video evokes the sensory experience of being in a club but completely alienated from its lively, bustling vibe. “It’s one of those nights where you show up, but you’re not actually having a good time. You’re caught in your own head while everyone else around you is on a completely different wavelength. It feels as if you are moving through space in an alternate reality.
Bali, Indonesia – AXEAN Festival 2025 has officially announced its final lineup for this year’s edition.
The stage is set for the first intra-regional showcase festival in Asia, as it welcomes 43 music acts across three stages at Jimbaran Hub in Bali, Indonesia, from September 13 to 14, 2025.
Completing the final round of performers are some of the most prominent and emerging names in the Indonesian music scene, including metal/hardcore quintet AVHATH, beloved folk duo Banda Neira, rising indie act Gozal, alternative rock outfit Grizzly Cluive, genre-bending band Morbid Monke, indie rock powerhouse Sandstorm of Youth, melancholic indie group sourmilk, multi-talented musician Xandega, and a special collaboration set between Bandung-based punk rock band Dongker and acclaimed singer-songwriter Jason Ranti.
Speaking on the new track, Rowsell adds: “I was inspired by going for dinner with my friends — a couple of friends, at different times, just one-on-one. I noticed how much I was saying Oh my god yeah you’re so right! And I thought it was so nice to see how validating these conversations with my girlfriends are, how much I’m learning in these chats. I think I’ve been trying to figure out a lot of things, like getting older. I feel it’s really been a strange time of thinking about appearance. And these are things you hash out with your girlfriends and suddenly you don’t feel so shit about them again. I just felt like there deserved to be a song about that.”

Filipino-Ghanaian artist and producer Jewel Owusu dives into the complexity of desire in her new single “spark”—out on all digital music platforms worldwide this Thursday, August 21, 2025.
The suave electro-pop track dabbles between introspection and dance-floor energy, reflecting on fleeting thoughts about someone else that arrive uninvited. Rather than framing them as dangerous and destructive, Owusu examines them as symbols of freedom and excitement and of the aliveness that can sometimes feel distant in a settled routine.
The new track was helmed and co-written by multi-platinum producer Mark Feist, who’s worked with globally renowned artists like Beyonce, Celine Dion, Outkast, Mary J. Blige, Jennifer Lopez, and more
OPM icon Jay R links up with Los Angeles-based pop newcomer Shanice on their collaborative single, “Never Ever”—released on Friday, August 22, 2025 via Hitmakers Entertainment and Symphonic Asia.
Produced and co-written by Grammy-nominated Mark Feist, alongside Shanice and Jay R, the sophisticated R&B jam tackles a kind of love that stays and sticks even when the pieces don’t quite fit. With suave and soulful vocals that cut through a bed of lush strings, slow-burning grooves, and hypnotic instrumentation, “Never Ever” captures the soothing warmth of coming home to a loved one, pledging devotion even through life’s coldest seasons.

Rising Filipino artist Jolianne teams up with acclaimed Korean producer Ziv for “Kuryente,” a sticky-sweet, pop soul track that captures the feeling of infatuation in its earliest stages.
Co-written by Miguel Benjamin of the award-winning band Ben&Ben as a love letter to his wife with Jolianne and Ziv as equally involved in the songwriting process, “Kuryente” was inspired by the couple’s intimate anecdotes, where they feel tiny jolts of static electricity whenever their hands touch. This tender detail shaped the song, later brought to life through Ziv’s intricate but playful production and Jolianne’s glistening interpretation.
In the escalating battle over the West Philippine Sea (WPS), disinformation has emerged as a powerful weapon. Standing at the frontlines of this information war is the Center for Information Resilience and Integrity Studies or CIRIS, a non-profit organization committed to exposing disinformation and strengthening national resilience through credible storytelling and strategic communications.
CIRIS is led by Michel Andre P. del Rosario, its Executive Director and a former Assistant Secretary under former Presidential Communications Secretary Cheloy Velicaria-Garafil. During his tenure in government, del Rosario chaired the Information Working Group of the National Task Force for the West Philippine Sea, giving him firsthand experience in countering foreign malign influence campaigns that sought to distort public understanding of the WPS issue.

“It is always our dream to be heard around Asia so to be invited and to play once again outside our usual turf is such an exciting opportunity,” shares Ahmad Tanji, the lead vocalist and guitarist of We Are Imaginary. “Our last international gig was for the Archipelago Festival (Jakarta, Indonesia) last 2017. It has been a while indeed.”
Deep/lofi house producer returns with jazz-infused meditation on modern life
Singapore-based producer mermaids announces the release of "Thought Shuffle," a mesmerizing deep lofi house track that marks the project's triumphant return for 2025. The single, set for release on August 15th under SEAlectors, features the evocative saxophone work of Roxy Modesto, a staple of both jazz and rock landscapes in The Philippines and Indonesia.
"Thought Shuffle" serves as a bookend to mermaids' pandemic-era "Flat Curver" series, continuing the project's exploration of intimate, home-listening experiences while maintaining dancefloor sensibilities. The track represents a natural evolution in the mermaids sound, weaving together tinges of improvised jazz elements with the project's signature blend of warm chords and subtly energetic percussion.

The album and its singles “Sue me,” “Bowling alley,” and “Wet Hair” are already receiving enthusiastic critical acclaim:
“With ‘Sue me,’ Hobert hits a home run right out the gate, a fearless, capital-P pop song that will be stuck in your head all summer. And she’s just getting started…It’s not Audrey Hobert Summer. It’s Audrey Hobert’s World…she, even one song in, has already established what will soon become known as the Audrey Hobert touch: straightforward, arresting lyrics (a throwback to her anti-poetry days) that don’t take themselves too seriously.”—NYLON

Earthly Delights Track List
1. Give You The World
2. Crème Brûlée
3. Can I Call You
4. Lucky
5. Home
6. Dulce Amor
On more about Earthly Delights, David shares, “I’m in my indulgence mode when it comes to giving into my sensuality. Something I always villainized before. There’s something sweet about being naughty. And it’s actually helped me to get in touch with more tender vulnerable parts of myself. So Earthly Delights is taking in the pleasures of what I always thought would keep me out of heaven. For the belief I always had of the hell and unhappiness I would experience for giving into my “carnal nature” of sexuality, which is the natural instinct of humans and even what leads to the source of life itself, here’s to a big F you to my old fears and embracing the sensual side and “earthly delights” of how good and rich it feels. It really is the source to life.”

“HOTNCOLD” is a chill, pop, soul, and RnB track that talks about the struggles of an unfair relationship. The song addresses the feelings of giving your all to a partner who does not reciprocate, and XYVRL's lyrics convey this sentiment clearly: “You don’t deserve me. Binigay ko sa’yo ang lahat when you were thirsty. I was there for you pero baby wala ka for me. So tell me sino ba ang totoo sa atin?"
The title “HOTNCOLD” effectively captures the conflicting emotions of warmth and closeness with your partner, while still having a cold, distant divide in the relationship. While the song has a laidback and easy-to-listen-to vibe, the lyrics carry a heavier message that encourages listeners to immerse themselves in the deeper meaning behind the music. "Mainit, mainit, mainit, mainit, pag kay katabi. Pero kahit magkadikit ay laging malamig ang ating gabi."
In a surprise appearance, XYVRL performed “HOTNCOLD” at the “Find Your Kislap” single launch event of fellow Universal Records artist last June 26 at 225 Bar in Quezon City. Fans who witnessed XYVRL’s performance of the song didn’t have to wait too long to hear the official track since since it was released the next day. “HOTNCOLD” is now available on all major streaming platforms, with an interesting lyric video on the YouTube account of Universal Records.

As a global pop figure with an incredible sense of sonic adventurism, ena mori continues to forge a path that defies industry expectations. Her unapologetic individuality and fearless experimentation have set her apart from her contemporaries, especially in a landscape often defined by formula.
On her latest EP, rOe, the acclaimed singer-songwriter/producer steps away from the explosive energy of her full-length debut album, DON’T BLAME THE WILD ONE!, and instead offers a body of work that is as introspective as it is sophisticated. A coming-of-age project but not in a traditional sense, the 6-track release navigates the emotional whiplash of entering your twenties with one foot still planted in childhood. To sum it up, it’s about the paradox of forward motion while feeling stuck.

Filipino indie pop/soul artist Muri and Japanese electronic producer Shigge have finally released their first joint EP, SETSUNA.
In an intriguing fusion of cultures and genres, the 4-track release reflects on the fleeting, ephemeral nature of moments in an increasingly fast-paced world. Taking its name from the Japanese word “setsuna” which means “instant,” the EP explores impermanence, both emotionally and sonically.
No one can deny that Kim Ji Soo turned heads in his sleek black suit, making a striking impression at the black-tie event. His presence was highly anticipated, especially following his remarkable performances and projects in the local entertainment industry.
Ji Soo surprised everyone by making a cameo in the GMA action series Black Rider in 2024. After that he continued to be involved in several notable TV projects such as Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition, where he was a Houseguest, and the recent travel show Be Cool, where he was one of the hosts.
A song spanning many years to complete, finally makes its moment
Following the renewed success of his solo catalog—particularly “Your Universe,” which recently broke into Spotify Philippines’ Top 10—Rico Blanco returns with “Paalam,” a hauntingly spare but exquisitely crafted ballad that captures the enduring imprint of goodbyes in all its bittersweet and hopeful glory.
Equal parts love song and meditation on loss, “Paalam” contemplates the emotional weight of parting, whether from a person, a chapter, a place, or a former self. In Blanco’s hands, goodbye becomes not only an act of release and reawakening, but also a gift that offers clarity, grounding, and ultimately, healing.
“Out of all the songs I’ve released, Paalam is the song that took me the longest to finish,” the multi-awarded music hyphenate admits. “Some songs I finish in minutes, days, or weeks, but this one has been a work in progress for many, many years.”

Grammy ®-winning global multi-platinum singer songwriter TYLA has reemerged with her first new project since her historic debut album.

MEDIA,” songs that invite the listener to the dance floor without sacrificing any of TYLA’s vocal valor.

Tame Impala (Kevin Parker) returns with the release of “End of Summer,” his first recording for new label Columbia Records. The song marks a new dawn for Tame Impala, as Parker once again expands the parameters of the project further into realms unexplored. Drawing from the deep, rich history of dance music, “End Of Summer” recasts Tame Impala as a kind of future primitive rave act. The track harkens back to the acid house summer of ’89, to free parties of the mid-90s, to bush doofs in outback paddocks - to an imagined history, transmuted into something simultaneously present and eternal, still unmistakably Tame Impala. The thrill of spontaneous studio experimentation that has marked Tame Impala recordings since the beginning is more evident than ever, Parker’s mastery of his craft imprinting the track with an array of brain-bending, subtly manipulative sparkle.

Rising Filipino artists Young Cocoa and DEMI have teamed up on their latest single, “Cheap Thrills,” a delightful track that captures the lighthearted rush of young romance.
Released today via Sony Music Entertainment, the smooth jam shines with its captivating sense of ease and simplicity, going for subtlety instead of flashy distractions. What started as a solo demo quickly evolved into a ‘joint’ earworm that invites listeners to let go, lean in, and find joy in life’s simpler pleasures: no frills, just feels.
Filipino indie rock outfit We Are Imaginary are back with “Stockholm,” the latest single from their forthcoming self-titled album, set to be released on vinyl under Eikon Records in mid-2025.
Exploring themes of emotional entanglement and vulnerability, “Stockholm” is a gripping meditation on toxic attachment disguised as love. The track marks a pivotal moment for frontman and guitarist Ahmad Tanji, who channels years of disquietude into one of the band’s most sonically and lyrically captivating releases to date.
The song opens with the Nietzsche-inspired line, “Staring at the abyss / staring back at me,” which immediately sets the tone for introspection. As the track unfolds, lyrics like “So used with bad directions / I’m following no leads” imply how the protagonist continues to spiral out of existential dread, losing the will to continue fighting—only to be pulled back by the subtle, grounding sound.
