Filipino indie singer-songwriter Keiko
Necesario finds renewed strength in love and spirituality amidst unjust
social conditions on her new single “Kahit Pa Anong
Mangyari,” out on all digital streaming platforms worldwide this
Friday, May 31, 2024.
The irresistible pop-rock confessional
shows Keiko’s resilience and vulnerability in disarmingly bold ways as she
chronicles her story of overcoming a challenging season in her married
life—thanks to God and her husband, who never left her side during a tumultuous
ordeal. According to Keiko, she penned the track at
a time when she and her partner struggled to make ends meet while reflecting on
what truly matters for her and between them. “Last year, it came to a point when we only
had 700 pesos in our bank account, and we had to figure out what to do because
there were bills to pay and other things to think about,” shares the
multi-talented solo artist. “During that difficult time, we chose to have faith
because we knew and believed that seasons come and go. God was, and is our
provider, so because of that whole experience, I got to write and finish the
song.” Keiko Necessario wrote and co-produced the
song, with her bassist Charles Bautista assisting with the overall production. Capturing
a pivotal change in both her sound and sonic perspective, Keiko delivers a
sterling earworm that isn’t afraid to share a piece of her with the public, no
matter how imperfect and devoid it is of rosy disposition. This time around,
she wants to celebrate her newfound courage through a track that sees optimism
and joy even in the darkest of situations. With its pulsating guitar riffs, melodic
arrangements, and charismatic songwriting, “Kahit Pa Anong Mangyari” brings
music fans to the glory days of late ‘90s and early 2000s OPM alternative rock
where female-fronted bands ruled the airwaves. Made more exciting with her
newfound chops and contemporary acoustic leanings, Keiko turns nostalgic pieces
into fodder for inspiration and finds new ways to make them her own. The indie folk/pop recording artist
reveals, “The process was just so much fun because I honestly love spending
time in the studio and getting lost in choosing the right elements for a new
song. Working with Charles as a co-producer is a refreshing kind of experience
because he’s so excellent, and what I love about working with him is that he’s
always present and focused. I already told him this and even mentioned it to my
husband: that I appreciate Charles’ work ethic because, as busy as he is with
other musicians and other things in his life, when you work with him, it’s as
if he’s not doing anything else.”
Keiko will be launching her new song live
at the Brewing Point Music Lounge in Fisher Parkway, Quezon City on
Saturday, June 1, 2024 from 7:00pm onwards. Tickets are available here. The event will
include performances by Keiko Necesario, and special guests: Barbie Almalbis,
Janine Tenoso, Clara Benin, and Cheenee Gonzalez. “Kahit Pa Anong
Mangyari” is out now on all DSPs.
