The track sets the tone for his new era in music
Ace Banzuelo’s latest single, “Kilala,” which was published under Sony Music Entertainment, explores the beauty of brief yet meaningful interactions.
“Kilala,” a mournful pop song, revels in love longing—those heart-fluttering moments that are difficult to put into words. In Ace’s world, love doesn’t always necessitate extravagant confessions or shout-from-the-rooftops admissions. It can occasionally remain in the silent, spontaneous moments that leave a lasting impression.
“You may not realize it, but it could be love,” he adds. “This song is about not wanting to lose someone you know you have a great connection with. A lot of people can relate to this.”
Set against a backdrop of minimal guitars, gentle synths, and electronic flourishes, “Kilala” delivers a vocal performance that is bright and hopeful, yet punctuated with emotionally incisive tone. The song proves that Ace thrives in the contemporary pop music realm, exercising his potential as a future visionary.
The Muli act speaks fondly about the creative process behind his new song, emphasizing his hands-on approach to songwriting and production. “I mixed real and digital percussive elements on this track and recorded with a new guitar. It’s my new baby, I love it so much. Kilala is one of the new songs I wrote and recorded in my new place/studio as well. I’ve been enjoying the view and making songs in that room.”
Ace is prepared to adopt a new musical style that explores the complexities of love and emotional awakening after previously focusing on themes of loss and lost connections. “Kilala” is a forerunner to a new phase of his release cycle, in which he hopes to express these feelings using his distinctive alt-pop narrative style. Additionally, it is his first release of 2025, the year when his “love song” phase begins.
“I’ve been coming out with a lot of heartbreak songs since my Red era,” admits Ace. “This time, I want to release songs that explore the softer, more optimistic side of love.”
“Kilala” by Ace Banzuelo is currently available on all digital music platforms across the globe through Sony Music Entertainment. At 7:00 p.m. today, the visualizer for the track will be released.
