Reconnection is the theme of the song “Kwentuhan” by Autotelic. It is very relevant because it will help us to commemorate with our love ones and help us to cherish one another most especially on what’s happening today and also out on all digital streaming platforms.
Despite the fact that the song was written in early 2019, its message has never been more important. “With the past year being a time when people have been unwittingly disconnected from one another, ‘Kwentuhan’ reminds us of the value of the human bond and is just what we need for a brand-new start,” says Kai Honasan-Del Rio, keyboardist/backup vocalist.
The songwriter/vocalist, Josh Villena said “Kwentuhan’ is about the importance of communication. Maraming tao ang hirap ibahagi ang mga naiisip at nararamdaman nila. Minsan, ang kailangan lang nila ay tenga na handang makinig.
A quick catch-up with a friend or a family member can not only make a difference in their lives, but in your own as well. Josh explains, “‘Kwentuhan’ is a conversation I wish I could still have with a friend that had passed away.” Nowadays, people are more caught up in their own business that they tend to forget about connecting with those who matter. What the song reminds us is that we have to cherish the relationships and friendships that we have, while we still have the chance.
Following through with their new direction, Autotelic again deviates from their usual synth-heavy dance pop-rock sound that they are known for and takes a slight turn to guitar-driven alternative rock, giving the track that 90s to early 2000s feel. Rather than a “change of sound”, the band considers this shift as an expansion of their music, instead. Josh mentions, “Our genre is very broad. We have two guitar players and two synth players. Ang damingpwedeng sound nailabas especially with those instruments at maramingpwedengi-bidanatunog.” But what has stayed the constant is their distinct songwriting which continues to hold true in every meaningful line that ‘Kwentuhan’ is packed with emoti, just like always.
