NEXTONE finds groove in heartbreak with “Nagkulang”

The fast-rising OPM outfit turns the restless cycle of overthinking into a genre-bending track fueled by funk, synths, and raw alternative rock

Fast-rising OPM band NEXTONE returns with “Nagkulang,” a new single that pairs infectious groove with the emotional weight of second-guessing one’s value once a relationship no longer works out.

Released under Sony Music Entertainment, the track mines crossover potential with a distinctly nocturnal sound, weaving punchy rhythms, city pop influences, glimmering synths, and modern pop-rock textures into a melodic, fist-pumping jam.

The song’s concept began with the word itself. From there, the band developed a narrative centered on someone who, despite believing they did nothing wrong in a relationship, comes to terms with self-doubt in the wake of an unexpected romantic fallout.

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.
