Young Cocoa releases new single
FILIPINO singer-songwriter/producer Young Cocoa returns with “Nova,” his new single under pan-regional label, OFFMUTE. Incorporating a bossa nova sample, the singer raps about young love. “We wanted to create a song that was an easy listen, had a lot of bounce, and felt ‘bubbly’ in the same way the lyrics were written,” the artist said in a statement. “[The song’s] creation just started off of the exploration of a different sound and progressed into a song that I wrote about having an innocent crush, or puppy love. The title is directly inspired by my favorite snack, Nova, and the use of Bossa Nova elements in the production.” “Nova” is available to stream on all digital music platforms.
Gloc-9 and Skusta Clee collaborate
RAPPER AND songwriter Gloc-9 releases a new single titled “Kumpisal,” his third release from his Pilak album which celebrates his 25th year in the Philippine music industry. Joining him in this string-fueled and vibrant collaboration is Skusta Clee. Written and composed by Gloc-9 with musical arrangement, mixed, and mastered by Thyro Alfaro, “Kumpisal” looks into the dynamics of the Catholic sacrament of confession from the perspective of a confessor. An official music video is released alongside the single. “Kumpisal” is available to stream on all digital platforms.
