November 2025

Forged in friendship and fueled by freedom, the album reflects their evolution from breakout stars to generational rock icons

With the release of their sophomore album, Andalucia, on November 5, 2025, on all digital music platforms worldwide through Sony Music Entertainment, Filipino pop-rock juggernaut IV OF SPADES makes their much anticipated homecoming.

Their last full-length album, CLAPCLAPCLAP, was released seven years ago after a six-year break! (2019), the legendary band comes back together with a record that embodies friendship, artistic development, and newfound unity. By revealing the tenderness that exists in codes and expressing situations and events in cryptic yet poetic exquisiteness, Andalucia solidifies their status as one of the defining acts of contemporary OPM without ever feeling the need to clarify or expound.

Following a surprise reunion last July through the double release of “Aura” and “Nanaman,” IV OF SPADES presents Andalucia as the full realization of their creative rebirth. “We needed to prioritize ourselves and our relationship first before working on a new project while we weren’t okay,” the multi-awarded band shares in a press statement. “It would’ve felt meaningless if we hadn’t fixed our bond before returning to making music.”

Co-produced by the Aura act with Brian Lotho and Emil Dela Rosa, Andalucia features twelve tracks that traverse genres and emotions while maintaining the band’s penchant for introspective songwriting and subtle sonic experiments. Leading the record is the explosive focus track “Monster,” a vibrant yet gritty rock anthem that fuses retro influences with modern edge. Other highlights include “Aura,” the first song the band wrote together after reuniting; “Nanaman,” featuring Blaster Silonga on vocals; “Suliranin,” an escapist anthem that invites listeners to leave their worries behind and eventually lose themselves; and “Konsensya,” a crossover tune with ‘90s alt, indie, and Britpop influences.

The chart-topping band explains, “Thematically speaking, we talk about things in life: flaws, people, and topics that often aren’t discussed openly. It’s more fun now because we have more songs. The direction is clearer, and the process is more collaborative.”

In making Andalucia, IV OF SPADES approached production with spectacle grounded in authenticity. “We wanted a sound that we could play live,” they share. “The production is ambitious, so we started by jamming the songs before recording them.”

After years apart, the band found their chemistry intact, perhaps stronger than ever. Their creative process was guided not by ego, but by intuition and respect.

Behind the music, moments of simplicity reminded them why they started making music together in the first place. “What truly matters are the small things. Eating together. Whoever’s late buys the coffee. Sometimes we’d turn off the aircon, so we’d all be sweating while recording.”

The band’s sold-out performance at the Mall of Asia Arena on December 12, 2025, corresponds with the release of Andalucia; owing to excessive demand, December 13 was just added. These performances, which will be presented by Karpos Multimedia, will celebrate IV OF SPADES’ path and future by showcasing both reinvented classics and new material for the first time

The two beloved artists turn quiet moments into symbols of joy and connection in a heartfelt visual narrative

If we take the time to observe them, even the most basic events in life can have the greatest significance.

The current single, “Rainbow,” which features Indonesian pop icon Raisa and Asia’s Romantic Balladeer Christian Bautista, is centered around this understanding. The music video, which was just released, tenderly depicts hope, connection, and the beauty of the commonplace.

The visual story takes place at a picturesque café in Jakarta, where both artists are enjoying a peaceful escape from the busy craziness of contemporary city life.

“The video is about how the simplest, most ordinary moments in our day can actually become the ‘rainbows’ we need — small sparks of hope that make a big difference,” shares Christian Bautista. “The music video was directed by Jonathan Tal Placido of Toothless Productions. He and his team flew to Jakarta to make this vision come alive, and they captured that message beautifully.”

Delicately crafted, the music video mirrors the song’s lyrical warmth with cinematic grace. Every frame invites viewers to rediscover fulfillment hidden within everyday experiences: coffee shared between friends, laughter exchanged across a table, and the peace found in simply being present.

Beyond its narrative, “Rainbow” also celebrates harmony between cultures. The collaboration between Christian Bautista and Raisa bridges Filipino and Indonesian artistry, and the choice to film in Jakarta infuses the visuals with an authentic sense of place and emotional truth.

“The city added warmth, texture, and authenticity to the visuals and helped us reflect the connection the song celebrates,” he explains.

“It was so exciting,” Bautista adds of working with Raisa once more. “Our biggest challenge was really scheduling — but once it finally happened, we were both thrilled to bring this project to life. Seeing it all come together after months of planning was such a rewarding moment.”

The music video for “Rainbow” honors common beauty and the unspoken ties that bind people together across national boundaries. Christian Bautista and Raisa’s collaboration serves as a reminder to listeners that happiness frequently comes from the little things in life rather than the big or spectacular.

Christian Bautista and Raisa’s song “Rainbow” is currently accessible on all major streaming services across the globe thanks to Sony Music Entertainment. Click here to view Christian Bautista’s song video.
