Gloc-9 Unveils Heart-Wrenching Tale of Cherished Memories in New Single “Ala”

Published on July 15, 2024

The ever-prolific songwriter Gloc-9 has a new song out and it’s called “Ala.” The fresh single is something deeply emotional and it masterfully weaves together themes of love, family, and the fragility of memory.

The title “Ala” is a playful yet effective wordplay of the Filipino word “alaala,” meaning memories, which serves as the heart of this storytelling narrative.

In “Ala,” Gloc-9 takes listeners on a journey through the life of a man who reflects on the cherished memories of his love story, from meeting his partner, building a family, to growing old together. The song begins with a celebration of life’s milestones, capturing the joy of marriage and the blessing of children. As the years pass, the couple’s bond remains strong, even as their children move away, leaving them with only each other.

The narrative takes a heart-wrenching turn as the man begins to experience symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease, a condition that slowly erodes his memories. Gloc-9’s lyrics vividly depict the fear and confusion that come with the diagnosis, as well as the heartbreak of forgetting the very people and moments that once defined his life. The verses are filled with raw emotion, portraying the man’s struggle to hold onto the memories that are slipping away, and the pain of his family as they watch him fade.

The rap song effectively depicts the inevitability of time and the importance of treasuring every moment with loved ones. The track serves as a reminder of the beauty and sorrow that memories hold, making “Ala” a standout piece in Gloc-9’s growing discography.

The song is part of the latest New Music Friday Philippines and Bago sa Kalye playlists on Spotify.

Gloc-9 Proves He’s A Master Storyteller Through Music In 10-track “Sari-Sari Story” Album Produced By Raymund Marasigan

Published on June 23, 2024

Filipino rap icon Gloc-9 is back with a brand new album, “Sari-Sari Story,” produced by the illustrious pillar of OPM, Raymund Marasigan. This remarkable album, recorded in just over six weeks before Gloc-9 embarked on an Australia concert tour, is proof of the rapper’s unparalleled talent and dedication to his craft of creating songs that will touch lives.

“Sari-Sari Story” is a collection of ten tracks, each one a narrative gem that showcases Gloc-9’s masterful storytelling. The album’s release strategy was as dynamic as its content, with three tracks dropping during the first week of June and another three following in the subsequent week. This staggered release allowed fans to savor each story, building anticipation and excitement for the full album which dropped this June 21st on all digital streaming platforms.

Gloc-9, whose real name is Aristotle Pollisco, shared that the inspiration for “Sari-Sari Story” came from the multitude of stories he has heard over the years and his own playful imagination. He was able to write so many songs in the past, but this album felt special. It’s like a patchwork of different tales and characters that he came across or imagined.

Working with Raymund Marasigan, a legend in his own right with numerous OPM groups and production credits, was a dream come true for Gloc-9. He admitted that he always looked up to his “Sir Rayms”. His influence pushed him to refine my songwriting even further. The collaboration proved fruitful, with Marasigan’s guidance helping Gloc-9 craft ten hauntingly beautiful songs that only he could deliver.

The focus track of the album, “Tinda Ni Linda,” is a standout piece that encapsulates Gloc-9’s storytelling prowess. The song narrates the tale of a man admiring Linda, a girl who runs an eatery. As the story unfolds, the narrator uncovers a dark secret about Linda’s true motives, intricately linked to the dishes she serves. This track has already made waves, featuring on Spotify’s New Music Friday Philippines playlist and being highlighted in Apple Music’s new OPM releases.

To celebrate the release of this new “obra,” an exclusive advanced listening party was held, attended by a star-studded lineup of OPM hip-hop acts and artists. Luminaries such as Flow G, Omar Baliw, Hellmerry, Klumcee, Boss Toyo, Smugglaz, Yuridope, Chocolate Factory, Reg Rubio of Greyhoundz, Hero, Ramdiss, Badjao De Castro, Blaster Silonga, and of course, producer Raymund Marasigan, came together to honor Gloc-9’s latest work.

The event featured a unique track-by-track listening experience inside a studio equipped with a 180-degree LED wall and impeccable sound system, creating an immersive environment that left attendees in awe.

The reception was overwhelmingly positive, with fellow artists and fans alike praising the album’s innovative storytelling and production quality. Gloc-9’s ability to weave intricate narratives into his music has once again set him apart as a master storyteller.

“Sari-Sari Story” by Gloc-9 is now available on all streaming platforms. Dive into the stories, and let Gloc-9’s lyrical genius take you on a journey through the vibrant tapestry of Filipino life and imagination.

KYLIX’s New Single “Another Life” Is Here And It’s About Forbidden Love

Published on June 21, 2024

Singer-songwriter KYLIX is set to captivate audiences once again with the release of his latest single, “Another Life.” Drawing deeply from personal experiences and the poignant inspiration of Erik Matti’s 2001 film Sa Huling Paghihintay, this new track delves into the complex emotions of loving someone you cannot be with in this lifetime.

“Another Life” is a touching narrative about the promise to pursue a beloved soul across lifetimes, driven by the hope that one day, circumstances will allow for their union. The song beautifully captures the essence of yearning for a love that remains just out of reach, with lyrics that echo the unspoken vows of finding each other again and again, until the stars align.

At the heart of the song is its evocative chorus, which KYLIX delivers with emotional intensity: “There’s no goodbye / If there was no you and I / I’ll find you in another life / And I won’t say goodbye.”

The chorus is an impactful narration to the enduring nature of true love, underscoring an incomparable commitment. It’s a raw and unfiltered declaration of a promise to wait for that special person, even if it takes another lifetime.

In a statement, KYLIX elaborates on the inspiration behind the song: “Para ito sa taong mahal na mahal mo na mahal ka rin naman niya pero for some reason kayong dalawa lang ang nakakaalam nun. Hindi talaga pwede maging kaya in this life.”

He adds, “Hahanapin mo siya kahit makailang buhay ka pa, hanggang umabot ka sa buhay na sana pwede na maging kayong dalawa.”

KYLIX’s “Another Life” proves his impressive songwriting skills with its deep emotional resonance.

Furthermore, lately his 2023 single “Liham Sa Ulap,” which marked his first release under Universal Records garnered significant attention, recently being playlisted on Spotify PH’s Viral Hits Philippines playlist and amassing over 700,000 streams.

“Another Life” is set to become a new favorite for fans, offering a soul-stirring blend of longing and hope about a love that’s forbidden. Stream it now!
