NOBITA Embraces Vulnerable Side on New Single “Kalangitan”
After outranking international hits with
“Ikaw Lang,” Spotify Philippines’ most streamed track of 2022, NOBITA
hits another career high with the release of “Kalangitan,” their new
single under Sony Music Entertainment.
The pop-rock ballad showcases the
vulnerable side of the band, while delivering a catchy sing-along in
captivatingly familiar form.
Written by Jaeson, Mark and Richmond,
and co-produced with their frequent collaborator Isagani Palabyab, “Kalangitan”
is an inspirational tune about companionship through thick and thin.
"Just when you think that you have reached rock
bottom, remember that there is always someone with you who will help you reach
for the heavens," the band shares in a collective statement. "With an
arrangement that stays true to our sound and a melody that transcends emotions,
this is the type of material that we’d love to explore over and over. Dredging
up emotions to the surface and turning them into a song that everyone loves are
both gifts that we’re honored to share with our fans."
NOBITA never fails to miss the beat when it comes to perfecting
the craft of writing emotional pop songs. This is evident in “Kalangitan,” a
soaring anthem that takes ‘hugot’ in a strikingly familiar direction.
“We’re just trying to keep it simple and straightforward, hence,
palatable to the general audience,” the chart-topping quintet adds.
The release of the track is accompanied by a music video
directed by John Selirio. Doubling as a commentary on high school clique system
and bullying, the MV also stars rising actors and content creators Joao
Constancia and Queenay Mercado.
NOBITA’s “Kalangitan”
is out now on all digital music platforms worldwide via Sony Music
Entertainment.
