Jarlo Bâse Release Debut Single “Kalapati”
Filipino singer-songwriter Jarlo
Bâse is ready to carve his own lane in the music industry with the release
of “Kalapati,” his first
official single under Sony Music Philippines.
Recorded at Sonic State
Audio, “Kalapati” doesn’t sound like a total diversion from his previous
releases, but it has a more pristine quality to it as far as production is
concerned. The laid-back tune finds the promising newcomer embracing a lighthearted
but soulful direction while remaining adept in making accessible R&B/pop
music that yields ecstatic returns.
Lyrically, the song deals
about “loving someone for reasons that actually matter,” and as Jarlo Bâse puts
it, “accepting them for who they are now, not for who they were, and definitely
not for who we want them to be someday.” With Jarlo Bâse’s signature smoothness
adding an element of a much-needed chill, “Kalapati” makes for an exhilarating
listening experience: a bop that is ready to redefine romance in an exciting,
youthful way.
While the song was initially
conceived four years ago, it was only in 2021 when Jarlo Bâse was able to
record the track in a professional studio. “I had to be patient,” the
multi-talented artist reveals. “Waiting for the availability of studio was the
most challenging part for me. It was all about timing, and making sure I was
ready when an opportunity would arise. If my memory serves me right, I finished
the song around four years ago. Most of what we did was re-record the different
stems of the track, and polish what needed polishing.”
Underlining his reputation
as a skillful singer-songwriter who is open to possibilities and sonic ideas, Jarlo
Bâse wrote and produced “Kalapati,” with Brian Lotho overseeing the recording
and production process, and Munimuni’s Jolo Ferrer on bass duties.
“My good friend Jolo Ferrer
played bass for this, which gave the track more color and movement. I also got
to work with Brian Lotho of Sonic State Audio. Brian definitely knows how to
work very well with artists and their songs. I thoroughly enjoyed the studio
sessions with him.”
Jarlo Bâse is currently
managed by Crown Artist Management—home to artists such as Maja Salvador (also
its CEO), John Lloyd Cruz, Jasmine Curtis-Smith, and more.
His latest single “Kalapati” is out now on all digital music platforms
worldwide via Sony Music Philippines.
