Acclaimed producer Wovensound, rapper Ihasamic!, and alt-pop songstress Jeena navigate emotional uncertainty on new single “Lonely Shores”
Acclaimed producer Wovensound, rapper Ihasamic!, and alt-pop songstress Jeena have recently teamed up for a song about two lost souls crying for help as they struggle to find their place in a world that invalidates their feelings and actions.
Released under Umami Records, “Lonely Shores” comes from a place of emotional pain and confusion—a track written by Ihasamic! in his attempt to “reflect on times where we sometimes like to hold on to things that hurt us.”
Framed with cinematic production and ethereal calm, the collaborative effort from Singapore’s finest musicians tackles mental and emotional health with a level of sensitivity that is often unheard of in contemporary hip-hop/R&B releases—for most of its existence.

Rapper/producer Zelijah dives deep into teenage nostalgia on “17”
Zelijah takes a trip down memory lane on his new song “17,” out today via Sony Music Philippines.
Trading verses with fellow hip-hop artist Ellis G on bossa-infused, lo-fi beats and stripped-down guitars, the Filipino rapper/producer strikes a balance between honing a music palette that distills the algorithm-driven sounds of today and approaching the intersection of various music styles with a pop flair.
According to Zelijah, “17” was supposed to be a sad little tune about cherishing the best years of our lives in a bubble, tucked away from the hassles of adult responsibilities. “But the vibe it gave us when we were working on the song was just purely nostalgic so we thought of writing the lyrics about the 2012 and 2017 era where both of us were 17 years old,” the multi-talented artist admits in a statement. “Personally, this age bracket is where we worry less about the world and only think about ourselves and all the mundane things— free from our life problems.”
“Huwag Kang Mangamba”: A reminder to hope in the time of uncertainty
It is easy to lose hope when a series of untoward things happen in our lives. Especially when the Covid-19 pandemic struck, a lot of people had lost a loved one, their jobs, and had been challenged in different ways possible. Thus, the airing of ABS-CBN’s latest series “Huwag Kang Mangamba”on TFC, TFC IPTV, and iWantTFC is a timely reminder that there is always light at the end of the tunnel.
“Huwag Kang Mangamba” is a series that stars Andrea Brillantes and Francine Diaz who give life to the characters of Mira and Joy, respectively. Mira may be blind, but she sees that there is hope despite everything that is happening in her life. On the other hand, Joy was blinded by the pains and hardships that are going on in her life.
