  MANILA, PHILIPPINES — After 11 years away from releasing new music, Bamboo returns with “Alon,” a haunting new single that marks a fresh chapter in the career of one of Philippine music’s most enduring voices.

Following the band’s success, Bamboo pursued a solo career, releasing No Water, No Moon (2011) and Bless This Mess (2015) under PolyEast Records, formerly EMI Philippines. Both albums showcased his evolving musical sensibilities and versatility as a recording artist and songwriter. More than two decades after their partnership began, Bamboo reunites with the label for a new chapter in his musical journey. The renewed partnership was formaliz...

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 eclectic quartet explains, “We really wanted the word ‘Nagkulang’ to feel like it was stuck in the listener’s ...
