Filipino-Japanese artist ena mori hardens the edges on her 2026 EP, Ore

Sharper in tone and stronger in stance, Ore transforms cultural memory and adulthood into abrasive pop anthems

In 2025, ena mori reaffirmed her position as one of the most compelling creative forces in Asian pop music. The avant-pop shapeshifter greeted the year with high-profile festival appearances, brand deals, and a growing international listenership, culminating in the release of her six-track EP rOe. Informed by restraint and emotional fragility, rOe showcased ena mori’s ability to translate vulnerability into a riveting pop fantasia. As expected, the EP earned universal praise from critics and fans, landing on several year-end lists across the globe.

Today, February 27, 2026, ena mori completes that orbit with Ore, a six-track companion piece that both mirrors and resists its predecessor. Originally conceived alongside rOe as part of a single body of work before unraveling themselves as fraternal counterparts, the two projects diverge in tone and intent, with the latter retaining emotional nuance while foregrounding sharper textures and stronger assertions.

Everyone thinks they know Sherlock Holmes. He is the brilliant detective of Baker Street, the master of deduction, the man who can read a stranger’s life story from a scuffed shoe or a fleck of ash. For more than a century, he has stood as literature’s enduring icon of logic, intellect, and razor-sharp wit.

But what if the world’s greatest detective was not always so certain? What if, before the legend, there was a restless young man still discovering who he was and who he might become?

Skye Newman continues her ascent with bold new single ‘Walk’

Today, South London singer-songwriter Skye Newman returns with her new single ‘Walk’, a sharp and defiant release that captures her at her most direct and unfiltered.

The track unfolds as a lyrical confrontation as it documents a moment every listener can relate to - where patience runs out and self-preservation takes over. Skye’s delivery is typically controlled but cutting - pairing emotional clarity with dark humour. It is a song about recognising emotional damage for what it is and choosing to step away rather than absorb it.

Written by Skye Newman alongside long-time collaborators Boo and Luis Navidad, and marking her first collaboration with Chrissi, ‘Walk’ continues Skye’s reputation for turning lived experience into sharply observed songwriting. The production remains restrained, allowing the lyrics to carry the weight and leaving nowhere for the narrative to soften.

Lyrically, ‘Walk’ traces the imbalance of a relationship in vivid detail. Skye captures frustration, humiliation and emotional exhaustion with a bluntness that feels conversational and typically honest. Lines are delivered without embellishment as she documents defending someone at her own expense, chasing loyalty that is never returned and finally drawing a clear boundary. The repeated image of walking becomes both literal and symbolic - a final act of reclaiming control.

From pop-rock icons to drag performers and industry trailblazers, the event champions women onstage and behind the scenes

Despite women’s significant contributions to the entertainment industry, they continue to face significant challenges throughout history, from being at the receiving end of discrimination and harmful stereotypes to being overlooked for production roles or leadership positions. Apart from the lack of opportunities, they often experience pay inequity, harassment, and underrepresentation in major industry spaces, overlooking the power they hold as creative forces and culture shifters.

For the upcoming Women’s History Month, GNN celebrates women who have been at the forefront of community building and creative expression, opening new spaces, building opportunities for others, and using their platform to rally for meaningful changes within and outside the system.

“The number of women behind the scenes remains relatively low,” shares Marie Lara Pauline Bobier, GNN’s events director. “While the music community is generally welcoming and respectful toward women, there are still instances in which they are made to feel that they must continually prove their credibility and competence in the field. This celebration is not only about championing female practitioners in music and entertainment, but also about recognizing the female fans and pro-women advocates who actively support the local music scene.”

Delinquent Society’s “Certified” Is a Statement of Pride, Origins, and Success

They came from the streets of Davao. They carried the weight of "8000" , their postal code, their identity, their proof of origin. And now, Delinquent Society is back to remind the world why they don't need to ask for permission to be recognized. Introducing "Certified,” the follow-up to their chart-climbing hit "8000WABAD."

Written in a seamless mix of Bisaya, Tagalog, and English, "Certified" doesn't try to fit into any box. It reflects the reality of the streets, multilingual, raw, and unfiltered. This isn't manufactured for international appeal. This is how they talk, how they feel, how they live.
