Any Name’s Okay navigates the growing pains of adulthood in new EP, Leaving Home

Its focus track “Takbo” tackles themes of running away from burnout and hustle culture

Filipino alternative pop band Any Names Okay has finally dropped their much-awaited sophomore EP, Leaving Home via Sony Music Philippines. Taking a huge step forward in terms of musical and creative direction, the 6-track release digs deeper into the journey of navigating adulthood and embracing the uncertainty that comes with the process.

“As a band, we’re maturing in our songwriting and the way that we operate as creatives,” shares the five-piece outfit. “We want to grow old with our listeners—which can be scary, but very exciting. A lot of those fears and joys can be found in this collection of songs.”

Lyrically, the band’s new EP, Leaving Home expands on introspective and existential themes—sometimes rendered in emotionally blunt details, but most of the time, exhibiting some of the growing pains that one has to go through in their transitional period towards maturity. The promising newcomer explains, “We’ve all been through the wringer the last few years, and this was a much-needed emotional release for everyone. We believe that a thorough listen of the EP, however, still shows that same heart, energy, and sincerity that people have come to know of us.”

After "Dunkirk," Harry Styles Takes the Lead in "Don't Worry Darling"

When Harry Styles had his first musical fame, he could have made a smooth transition into Hollywood leading man roles. But he’s never had any interest in doing things the easy way. Instead, he made his film debut as a character actor, with a supporting role in 2017’s “Dunkirk,” the Oscar-nominated World War II drama from Christopher Nolan.

Styles treated “Dunkirk” as a learning experience, not a stepping stone to Hollywood. Five years later, he returns to acting, ready to take the lead as the ambitious husband Jack Chambers in New Line Cinema’s provocative thriller, “Don’t Worry Darling.”

At the center of Where the Crawdads Sing is Kya Clark – “the marsh girl” – about whom little is known and much is assumed. When Chase Andrews, once the town’s star quarterback and now heir apparent to a successful auto shop, is found dead in the marsh, most of the townspeople are quick to blame Kya. As local defense attorney Tom Milton tries to save Kya’s life, Kya slowly reveals her mysteries – abandoned by her family and left to make a life for herself in the marsh… the two loves that shaped her past… and the lengths that creatures of nature will go to survive.

Globe Business Introduces Omnichannel Retailing at 28th NRCE 2022

Businesses, particularly retailers, have encountered a mix of uphill battles and discovered inventive maneuvers to stay afloat despite COVID-19. To celebrate the resilience that is retail, the 28th National Retail Conference and Stores Asia Expo 2022 (NCRE) went live with a physical event to once again give retailers a platform to take advantage of new skills, learnings, and technologies as they keep pace with the ever-changing needs and demands of their consumers.

Organized by the Philippine Retailers Association (PRA), this two-day event aimed to educate retailers about the latest data-backed industry trends and developments and allowed them to touch base with a vast network and connect with new prospective partners. Many industry leaders shared nuggets of wisdom on retailing through “sponsor sessions” or talks about improvements in customer service, consumer trends in this evolving world, leveraging on consumer loyalty, and how the pandemic changed the Philippine and global markets entirely. Breakout sessions introduced the Metaverse (a shared multidimensional virtual environment where people can interact socially and professionally), how social e-commerce shapes the future of shopping, and global talent trends. These industry leaders also provided short mentorship programs to help shape the future of retail.
