With the release of her new music video and track, “15 MINUTES,” Madison Beer is extending her summertime dominance. Both are accessible right now. Madison Beer most famously teased “15 MINUTES” during her recent performance at Jimmy Kimmel Live Outdoor Stage, and she also included a brief snippet at the end of her most recent video, “Make You Mine.” Her fans were ecstatic to see the teases, which they watched on social media a few times, with over three million views. The exciting new album is currently accessible for viewing and streaming.

Madison Beer tells a romantically exciting story in “15 MINUTES” that simultaneously evokes sentiments of joy and deep interest. Directed by Madison Beer and Aerin Moreno, the cinematic video feature picks up the storytelling motif from Madison Beer’s previous video work, with Beer at the center of an intensely stressful escape room scene.

15 minutes ago I was laying in bed / Then I had a crazy thought in my head / So I took the keys and got in the car / Don’t know how I got here but baby here we are,she sings, meshing the lyrics with the unpredictable atmosphere of her new video. Viewers will need to buckle in. 

“15 MINUTES” follows Madison Beer’s immensely successful last single, “Make You Mine,” which ascended to the #1 slot on the Billboard Dance Airplay charts in May, marking her first-career chart-topper as a solo artist. Its video, a feature inspired by the cult classic film Jennifer’s Body, earned Beer critical acclaim from outlets like Uproxx and Billboard, who raved of Beer’s dedication to creativity and intentional nostalgia. 

It’s been quite a year already for Madison Beer, who received her first-career GRAMMY nomination at this year’s ceremony in February, a “Best Immersive Album” nod for her sophomore LP, Silence Between Songs. Subsequently, she released “Make You Mine,” a certified Dance hit, and just weeks later in April, she embarked on her 52-date Spinnin Tour, and released the “Make You Mine” video just before the first night of the tour’s North American leg. 

During this run, Beer sold out the legendary Radio City Music Hall and Greek Theater venues, creating viral moments to last for her highly engaged audience, evoking headlines and in-depth coverage from Teen Vogue, Miami New Times, Vegas Sun and more. Most importantly, the live trek allowed her to reach her fans in ways Beer had been yearning to. 

“I want to be honest with people. I feel like that’s why I have such a strong connection with my fans, because I am honest with them, and I want them to know that it’s not all just sunshine and rainbows.” she told Teen Vogue, which attended Beer’s performance at this year’s JBL Fest in Beer’s home state of New York.

Next up: a quick tour of Asia and Australia, which will take place between August 17 and September 2, starting on August 17 at the Tokyo Summer Sonic Festival in Japan and ending on September 2 in Melbourne, Australia, with stops in Singapore, Brisbane, and Indonesia along the way. You can get tickets here. The itinerary for the entire excursion is below:

This year, Linggo Ng Musikang Pilipino (LMP) is celebrating its much-awaited anniversary with a number of musical activities designed to promote a greater understanding and admiration of Pinoy music.

From July 5 to July 31, a variety of music venues and stages throughout Metro Manila will host the week-long celebration, which is dedicated to supporting both new and established local musicians whose work has inspired Filipinos or advanced the region’s economy and arts.

“What makes LMP 2024 different from the previous celebrations is that it has a more ‘back-to-basics’ vibe and ‘keeping-it-simple’ feel,” Organisasyon ng Pilipinong Mang-aawit (OPM) Board member and Vice President for Special Projects Christian Bautista explains. “The focus and emphasis are really on listening to and appreciating different artists sharing their music and their stories in intimate settings. Our LMP this year is not really focused on the spectacle but rather more on highlighting the artist and the song.”

This year’s LMP chronicles a decade of celebrating Linggo ng Musikang Pilipino in accordance with Proclamation No. 933, signed by late President Benigno Aquino III on December 19, 2014.

Returning on its tenth year with the goal of reintroducing its mandate to highlight Filipino singer and to showcase the richness and diversity of Filipino music, Linggo Ng Musikang Pilipino aims to be more proactive in supporting Pinoy artists and ensuring that they are given a platform to present their work and their story to a global modern audience.


Johnoy Danao performing on LMP

The commemoration of LMP is slated to take place in several areas with multiple dates and will feature more than 30 artists from OPM’s roster and network of artists.

OPM Spotlight: LMP Night, which has championed some of the biggest and brightest local artists in recent years, will host performances and shows for the rest of the month at Kubo Bar in Kalayaan, Quezon City. Some of the headliners include Johnoy Danao, Sugarcane, jikamarie, Color It Red,, Mint Magic and many more from the OPM slate.

Other remote celebrations include OPM Spotlight: Rockwell LMP Series on July 24, 25, 26, and 28 at the Power Plant Mall in Makati City, and LMP24: PhilPop Night on July 31, 2024 at Kubo Bar. The latter puts a spotlight on select winners and participants from the prestigious annual songwriting competition, including Noah Alejandre, PhilPop 2020 Grand Champion; Davey Langit, PhilPop 2015 Top 3 Finalist and PhilPop 2013 Finalist; Kulas Basilonia, PhilPop 2020 Finalist; Hazel Faith, PhilPop North Luzon Boot Camp 2019 Fellow; and dwta, PhilPop 2021 DigiCamp Fellow. Ayala Land and Make It Makati will also be having a series of acoustic shows in partnership with OPM along with other activities related to the Linggo ng Musikang Pilipino celebration from July 21 to 28.

“Expect beautiful music and heartfelt performances from the artists,” Organisasyon ng Pilipinong Mang-aawit (OPM) President Ogie Alcasid shares. “We hope that through this humble series of shows that we’re doing, the Filipino audience will continue to love and support Filipino artists and Filipino music even after LMP.”

OPM Officer in Charge Gab Cabangon emphasizes that the goal of this year’s LMP has never changed. “It’s always been about the celebration and promotion of Filipino artists and Filipino music. That has always been our advocacy, to which we are fully committed as an organization. I guess what we could add to that is that this LMP celebration is also OPM’s way to reintroduce itself to the general public and grow its community.”

The Linggo Ng Musikang Pilipino was established under Proclamation No. 933, signed in 2014, with the initiative to celebrate Filipino music during the last week of July every year.

Here’s the schedule this year:

The Organisasyon ng mga Pilipinong Mang-aawit, in collaboration with the National Commission for Culture and the Arts, Rockwell Land, PhilPop Musicfest Foundation, Inc., Ayala Land, Make It Makati, Ayala Malls, and Ayala Museum, is pleased to offer the Linggo ng Musikang Pilipino, also known as LMP24.

Additionally, a special thanks to our partner establishments, Beach House Bar & Grill Marikina and Kubo Bar Kalayaan.

The five-member Filipino boy band SB19 makes a triumphant comeback on “THE FIRST TAKE” with a moving rendition of “MAPA”

SB19, who made waves a while back when their official lyric video for “MAPA,” surpassed 100 million views, is returning to “THE FIRST TAKE” with a brand-new rendition of another popular song.

On July 15, Monday, at 9:00 p.m. Manila time, their second performance video for “MAPA” debuted, after their viral smash “GENTO,” which they played during their launch on YouTube channel “THE FIRST TAKE” on July 1.

SB19’s second performance on THE FIRST TAKE will feature the poignant song “MAPA,” which stands in stark contrast to the explosive “GENTO.” While watching this performance, fans should also pay close attention to the touching lyrics, which are dedicated to their parents and other important individuals in their lives.

“We’re excited to share a different version of MAPA to the local and international audience through THE FIRST TAKE,” shares SB19 in a press statement. “We’re honored to showcase Filipino music on a music platform with a reputable track record of elevating the global presence of the artists performing. Mad props to THE FIRST TAKE for giving us a chance to impart a piece of our cultural and music sensibilities in ways that could be challenging but exciting.”

“THE FIRST TAKE” is a Japanese YouTube channel that invites top singers and artists from all over the world to perform a song recorded in one take. Videos on “The First Take” are filmed in a studio, with shots of the performing artist and a microphone, set to a background that is usually white.

SB19 on the other hand, is the first Southeast Asian group and the first Filipino to be invited in the influential music media outlet. They recently trended on X after the announcement of their return to “THE FIRST TAKE.”

SB19 is still expanding their fan base both locally and abroad. They had a wonderful success at their debut concert in Japan on April 29 at Tokorozawa Sakura Town. As the first Filipino musicians to be featured, they performed “GENTO ” on “THE FIRST TAKE,” and the video has received over two million views since then. Before making their comeback, the members attracted even more attention by releasing a thank-you video to their worldwide fan base, stating, “We were able to come this far thanks to the support of all the A’TIN.”

Paolo Sandejas releases “sirens,” his first official track, after signing with Sony Music Entertainment

The moody guitar-pop track showcases layers of maturity and earnestness to his musical craft

The newest artist to join the expanding roster of Sony Music Entertainment is rising OPM singer Paolo Sandejas!

The breakout act has captured the attention of fans worldwide in a short amount of time with “Sorry,” a song that BTS’s V co-signed and performed in one of his vlogs. In addition, Sandejas performed at the recently concluded Wanderland Music and Arts Festival 2024, sharing the bill with some of the world’s biggest names in live music, such as Jack Johnson, Parcels, and Thundercat. In 2023, he releasedBloom, a 6-track EP that includes the hit single “Different Shade of Blue.”

As part of his debut offering with his new label, Paolo Sandejas has finally released “sirens,” the first single off his upcoming solo album to be released sometime soon. Penned by Sandejas, the moody alt-pop track reveals a more mature approach to his musicality and songwriting.

The song also serves as a reunion project with Xergio Ramos, who was responsible for producing “Someone New,” his collab track with fellow singer-songwriter Martti Franca.

“The final track sounds so much fuller and more polished compared to what I initially brought to him, and I’m really grateful that he took the time and effort to help bring the song to life,” said the Sway artist. “You’ll definitely be hearing more of him working on my songs in the future.”

Lyrically, “sirens” is about a person discovering their place in the world. According to Sandejas, the new song expresses what it feels like to be carefree and impulsive in life, believing that everything will work out as long as you get to spend valuable time with the person you call home.

“I wanted to tell the story in a subtle way, so I kept the lyrics really simple with slight variations between verses,” he says. Usually, as songwriters, we strive to cram as much as possible into a song, but for this one, I wanted to be as effective as possible without sacrificing the track’s narrative.

sirens by Paolo Sandejas is currently available via Sony Music Entertainment on all digital music platforms worldwide.

Watch SB19 and Apl.de.Ap carry out an amazing house party in the “Ready” music video

SB19 and Apl.de.Ap are having a large house party in the music video for “Ready,” a dance-pop hit published by Sony Music Entertainment.

“The concept of the music video revolves around the guys being away for a while and returning home to mount a party of a lifetime,” Apl.de.Ap explains. “While shot in Manila, it’s designed to be purposely ambiguous in location, and the maximalist design is intentional. It represents the arrival of SB19 as an international act. It’s an honor to be celebrating with the next pride of the Philippines.”

Working with Ben Mor

Ben Mor, an American director who has directed visuals for some of the biggest worldwide pop icons in recent memory, including Katy Perry, Britney Spears, John Legend, NAS, and the Black Eyed Peas, directed the music video. Mor, a close friend and frequent collaborator of Apl.de.Ap, has long been interested in this country’s design language, which he has displayed in numerous videos.

Apl.de.Ap revealed, “We have worked together for years as he has shot many Black Eyed Peas’ videos. The shoot was a bit of logistical madness because immediately after this, he was off to Athens to shoot another cool music video.”

Despite some logistical challenges, the 2 Proud act expressed satisfaction with the final outcome. The Filipino-American rapper also revealed that he wanted to showcase a visually cool part of the Philippines that was different from what people usually see on postcards and in films.

“I believe the house has a real aesthetic and character. But I let the professionals take it from there.”

A fun shoot

SB19’s Pablo admitted that the creative process for the MV was different from anything they’ve done as a group. This time around, they’ve worked with a more Westernized approach, not completely relying on a storyboard.

“Apl.de.Ap was fun to work with and very chill,” he said. “His energy was infectious! Even the dancers and the talents gave their all. There’s never a dull moment in the shoot.”

Justin also raved about the experience of collaborating with Apl.de.Ap’s team. While they’re used to embracing story-driven concepts for an MV, the youngest member of the group shared in a statement that it felt great having fun on the shoot, as if it didn’t feel like work at all.

“Somehow it offered a refreshing reprieve,” he said.

“Ready” is a monumental collaboration between P-Pop royalty SB19 and international hip-hop sensation Apl.de.Ap. The joint song, written by the Black Eyed Peas resident rapper, Jean-Baptiste, Vince Nantes, and Denzel, is a sparkling club hit that effortlessly captures the sound of summer regardless of the season. SB19’s Pablo and Josue (Radkidz), on the other hand, helped produce the tune, providing finishing touches and minor sonic aspects.

SB19 and Apl.de.Ap’s Ready is now available on all digital music platforms worldwide through Sony Music Entertainment. Watch the music video here.

Hepmil Philippines builds new production hub to increase content creation skills, revealing the latest ‘We The Future’ show


From L to R: WTF Content Creators Sheanner Navarro, Josef Spartacus Farnacio, Jestoni Rubantes, Jan Ryan Azurin, and  Rian Simon Magtaan
 

Hepmil Philippines, a technology-driven media firm that operates the popular digital entertainment platform PGAG, which engages and entertains over 24 million Millennials and Generation Z’s weekly, has inaugurated its latest production base in Makati City.

The 400-square-meter production hub offers a variety of creative zones, such as huge studios, different workstations, lounges, and a wardrobe department. The areas can be tailored to fulfill a variety of content production requirements, encouraging flexibility and agility in creative processes.

This new production hub addresses the increased demand for virtual production services. According to the 2024 Global Digital Report, 64.5% of consumers do online brand research and are becoming more selective about online content. With its enhanced capabilities, Hepmil Philippines intends to be a leader in innovative content development, guaranteeing that companies can effectively engage their consumers with fascinating and relevant content.

Hepmil Philippines also announced plans to integrate livestreaming capabilities into its new studio setup to enhance audience engagement and broaden the reach of its diverse content offerings.

New Content Lineup


Left to Right – Erwin Razon (General Manager of Hepmil Philippines), Karl Mak (Co Founder & Chief Executive Officer of HEPMIL Media Group), and Jel Directo (Country Manager of Hepmil Creators’ Network)

This hub expansion not only boosts the company’s ability to produce relatable and compelling content for brands but also empowers hundreds of creators within its network.

Adding to the PGAG, Hepmil Philippines launched ‘We The Future,’ a comedic documentary series that delves into the authentic stories and voices of various Filipino communities. The show also highlights the unique experiences and perspectives of its cast, which includes Jan Ryan “Zarckaroo” Azurin, Josef Spartacus “Spart” Farnacio, Jestoni “Guhit Jes” Rubantes, Sheanner Navarro, and Rian Simon “Rianismo” Magtaan.

“What’s unique about ‘We The Future’ is our hands-on approach. We go directly to the grassroots, engaging with real people and sharing authentic stories. We connect with communities and amplify the voices of those who might otherwise go unheard. Through ‘We The Future,’ we bring these stories to light,”  said Erwin Razon, General Manager of Hepmil Philippines.

Razon also gave a sneak peek into their new content pieces, including  ‘Si OA,’ which features a passive-aggressive individual who seeks validation from others who share her controversial views, often disrespecting others with her exaggerated reactions and opinions; ‘Pork Soju,’ follows a character in situations reminiscent of dramatic and twist-filled Korean dramas; and ‘Astrolo-tea,’ offers unserious horoscope readings that provide “tea” for each zodiac sign, meant to give reality checks based on zodiac sign personalities and traits.

These new shows, scheduled for release in the next half of 2024, will further solidify Hepmil Philippines’ commitment to innovative and diverse content, introducing fresh ideas that provide more opportunities for creators to showcase their talents and for audiences to connect with genuine, relatable stories.

“We are going to do reality-based shows where we showcase the characters and the cast and crews based on their personalities. So they actually will be a part of content pieces where they get to showcase their true selves,” said Razon.

Given its growing popularity and monetization prospects, Hepmil launched an incubation program in December to empower its talent and creator network with social commerce capabilities. Hepmil’s network now includes 500 content creators, solidifying the company’s position as a digital media and content development powerhouse in Southeast Asia.

Henry Moodie, a future worldwide pop sensation, has released his new single ‘bad emotions’ through Robots & Humans (UK), Columbia Records (US), and Sony Music Entertainment. The single is supported by a music video, which is currently online. Henry’s latest single, ‘Bad Emotions’, is taken from his upcoming EP, good old days.

It is both lovely and engaging, with a strong relatability that fans and new listeners will undoubtedly find appealing. The track is backed by a stunning video created by Joel Barney, and it demonstrates once more why Henry Moodie is regarded as one of the most exciting young UK pop stars on the scene today.

Speaking about ‘bad emotions’, Henry said: “‘bad emotions’ is a song about my journey with my mental health. I remember the day I went to the studio and I was planning to write a different song about my friend, but on the train journey up there I had a panic attack. Songwriting has always been a form of therapy for me and I knew that if I went into the studio that day talking about my mental health, I would feel better when I left. I hope this song helps anyone going through a hard time!”

Announced last week was Henry Moodie’s European and UK tour, coming October and November 2024 and includes a London show at the iconic Roundhouse on Monday 28th October. Full tour dates below and tickets can be purchased HERE

After completing a songwriting certification at music school BIMM, Henry discovered his voice as a solo musician and songwriter, oozing emotional sensitivity and sweeping, timeless lyricism. In the winter of 2023, Henry published his debut EP, ‘in all of my lonely evenings’. With a total of 450 million plays across tracks like the self-penned and produced ‘you were there for me’, global top 100 smash ‘drunk text’, and the poignant ‘pick up the phone’, which earned 350k streams on its first day alone.
