by All Day Sunday

"Sandig"
by Janine Teñoso
Janine Teñoso returns with a beautiful new song, “Sandig.” The hit singer of “Di Na Muli,” “Pelikula” and “Umibig Muli” does it again with a new original in “Sandig," which is a beautiful Tagalog word that means "to lean on" or "to depend on someone."
Janine cleverly uses the word to connote finally finding someone to spend life with and to figuratively rest one’s heart beside another.
Produced by Shadiel Chan, whom Janine met through her Cup Of Joe collaboration (“Tingin”), Janine seems to find a musical kindred spirit and flies high once again with this lilting piece, delivered beautifully by her dulcet voice.

"Hugot"
by Rusty Mandarhyme
(Original Soundtrack of the Vivamax movie, Hugot)
Hugot is the new Vivamax film that tells of a tale of a talented basketball player who uses his skills to get out of the slums. Hugot also refers to the talented ‘out-of-towners’ picked by the hometown team to beef up their lineup.
But the term also takes on a naughty connotation in this Daniel R. Palacio directed film that stars Azi Acosta. Laying a b-ball worthy rap music is Rusty Mandarhyme who performs the main track “Hugot.”
"Pinto"
by LeMon Traxx, Maro Ignacio, JY
This slow and vibin’ track by Lemon Traxx, Maro Ignacio and JY is the perfect sonic accompaniment to the Vivamax film Tayuan.
"Pinto” draws up images of what happens between lovers inside closed doors and these R&B and rap artists' lyrics definitely suggest that.
It’s sexy, slow grooving and chill as “Pinto” accompanies the sexy scenes on this Angeli Khang starrer that also features Stephanie Raz, Chester Grecia, and Rash Flores. Topel Lee directs.
"Kakaiba"
Jade Ivy
Jade Ivy is a hiphop-RnB artist who communicates a rough and assertive vibe through his music. In this track titled “Kakaiba,” he applied the influence of fellow hiphop artist Skusta Clee, making it a danceable love song.
“Kakaiba,” according to Jade Ivy, is inspired by the story of a man falling in love with a girl who, through his eyes, is “kakaiba” or unique.
