Blending hip-hop with rock music influences, the prolific songwriter/producer teams up with his brother Josue on this astounding new jam
PABLO from SB19 is back with another hit!
The new song “DETERMINADO,” the Filipino singer-songwriter/producer’s first release under Sony Music Entertainment this year, breaks the Sboundaries between hip-hop and rock.
The genre-bending single, which was produced by his brother Josue, maintains the distinctive characteristics of the La Luna act as an artist who is at ease with his own identity and sonic direction while pushing experimentation to the limit.
Speaking highly of his favorite partner, PABLO lauded Josue for bringing innovative ideas to the track during its incubation phase and letting him shine with a strong producing style that isn’t limited by trends.
“We’re a team, we always work hand in hand, always learning from each other, and drawing inspiration back and forth,” said the multi-talented soloist. “We grew up in the same environment so we just vibe and connect easily.”
Integrating dense instrumentation with gloomy synths and booming, confrontational beats, “DETERMINADO” not only impresses listeners with its scale and ambition but also reveals a different side of the SB19 vocalist and main rapper: someone who finds moments of vulnerability and strength in the face of chaos. In the words of PABLO himself, “It’s a realization when we find the courage to actually do what we want, and what kind of artist we aspire to be. We are confronting our fears and roadblocks, but still moving forward.”
Determined to jumpstart a new phase in his career, PABLO is more confident in his undertaking as a musician, going to a sonic space that remains untouched even by his contemporaries and peers.
He adds, “Our music is not just the output; it’s a collective of all the micro-things that happen behind the scenes and all throughout the process. We are more assertive now. Also, this song marks a departure from our previous releases; it’s a blend of hip-hop and rock genres.”
Aside from “DETERMINADO,” PABLO is also gearing up for a more exciting 2024. He’s looking into dropping more solo releases apart from his work with SB19, and possibly a debut album to be released soon.
As the prolific artist puts it, “Again, going back to the song title, we are indeed on this journey. I have so many things planned to do in 2024, and definitely one of those is to release my own album.”
“DETERMINADO” by PABLO is currently available via Sony Music Entertainment on all digital music platforms worldwide.
