A series of cryptic riddles reveals SB19’s much-anticipated comeback single and upcoming
world tour.
P-pop Kings
SB19 announces their return to the music scene with WYAT [Where You At],
a disco-pop track that highlights the urgency of disconnection to reconnection
of the times. The upcoming release marks SB19’s first new material as a group
in a year after launching their 2021 EP, Pagsibol.
“It’s
been a year, the word 'hiatus' may sound negative but we took it from a
different perspective. We maximized the opportunity to think more as to what we
can improve on, how we can prepare for our comeback,” says SB19 Stell.
SB19 Ken
mentions “We are thrilled to be releasing a new song for
our fans. Bigger, better. I hope that A'TIN will appreciate at best the work
we've done for our upcoming tour.” WYAT drops on all streaming
platforms on September 2, 2022, with the official music video to be released on
the same day.
The
award-winning and Billboard nominee Philippine Pop phenom is also set to stage
their biggest local and international tour to date. WYAT [Where You At] Tour
kicks off on September 17, 2022 at Araneta Coliseum, to be followed by a series
of shows in Clark, Cebu, Davao and more.
In the
following months, the tour extends globally as SB19 heads to multiple countries
- US, UAE, and Singapore to name a few. International A’TIN can expect SB19 to
drop by their city starting October 2022.
“This
will be the first time for us to be going out of the country for our own
concert,” reveals SB19 Josh. “We’re excited to meet our international
fans. If I may put it: we were caterpillars inside cocoons when we
were just starting and now, we've turned into butterflies ready to spread our
wings!”
According to
SB19 Justin, the five-piece group is very much involved in the creative process
behind the upcoming tour, from conceptualization to choreography, from
promotion strategy to visual ideation.
He explains,
“When SB19 Pablo told us the meaning of WYAT, the song that he and his brother
Josue created, I was able to conceptualize WYAT. From there, our team was
able to brainstorm on how to improve my initial concept. We made options and
showed the other members of SB19, so they could also give their insights. One
idea led to another. We started plotting everything: from teasers to the actual
music video, every post, down to the last detail.”
SB19 Justin
adds, “Josh tweaks a bit of everything, from choreography to the
direction of our shoots. He and Pablo has a big role in decision-making. Ken helps with
the creative process, from how the dances should look to the set design. Aside from
being the main choreographer, Stell also shares ideas on how to promote our
comeback. He’s been mentioning if we could play the videos after our recent
performances before the tour starts, So we did. Last August 7, 2022 at Mall of Asia
Arena was when we first dropped our video teaser in front of thousands of live
audience. I highly consider what the other members, management, staff and other
people around me think. It really takes a village and is a healthy
collaboration.”
More details
about the local and international tour will be announced soon.
