Fern. Drops his first Tagalog song “Kagandahan”
Filipino singer-songwriter and producer Fern.
has finally dropped his new single “Kagandahan,” a minimalist pop tune
that tackles the overwhelming feeling of being surrounded by beauty, and how
people are afraid of it going away.
Released under Island Records
Philippines, Fern.’s latest jam is essentially stripped-down to the core, with
its message offering a quiet, meditative space that doesn’t lose sight of what
truly matters - even in the age of fast-paced modernity and fleeting romanticism.
“Kagandahan is about the beauty
of anything in this world,” the prolific young artist explains its meaning. “It
talks about how we're often scared of losing beauty that we believe is in our
possession and how this fear often robs us of enjoying the beauty while its right
in front of us.”
Originally penned by his dad, and
rewritten and produced by fern. himself, “Kagandahan” reflects on these valid
feelings about the ephemeral qualities of beauty, but also gives listeners a
refreshing perspective on why it’s important to cherish every bit of it while
it counts.
Eloquently produced with restrained
instrumentation and a lighter sound, fern. slips amusingly into laid-back
guitar-pop territory, veering toward intimacy. “I recorded all my vocals in my
bedroom, and I think it’s because singing just hits differently when you’re
alone—in my opinion, at least.” Sonny Zero mixed “Kagandahan,” and was careful
enough to let the emotions flow through the music - “nothing more than that,” as fern.
puts it. “It's always an experience to be working with people that you truly
connect with.
Fern.’s “Kagandahan” is out now on all
streaming platforms worldwide via Island Records Philippines.
