A week after announcing the highly
anticipated kickoff of their world tour at the prestigious Philippine Arena, Filipino supergroup SB19 continues to cement their place as a true P-Pop trailblazer
with the release of “DAM,” the first official single off their upcoming EP, Simula at Wakas.
Fueled by their deep appreciation for
medieval fantasy and innovative approach to sound, “DAM” marks a fresh chapter
in SB19’s genre-defying journey. The track seamlessly fuses elements of
hip-hop, Celtic and Filipino folk, EDM, industrial, and prog-rock, while
retaining the signature martial energy that defined their previous hits “What” and “GENTO.” What sets “DAM” apart, however, is not only its
grandiosity, but also its willingness to
push the envelope both lyrically and sonically—an experimental exploration of
new musical frontiers, if you would describe it. “We’ve always pushed boundaries in terms of
music,” shares the P-Pop kings in a collective statement. “For this particular
track, we’ve built on the elements that made ‘What and ‘GENTO’
resonate so strongly with the general public, but we’ve also uncharted sonic
territories that gave us the creative freedom to truly express ourselves.” “DAM,” a play on the Filipino word “Pakiramdam”
or “feeling” in English, encapsulates the pop quintet’s unrelenting drive for
purpose, ambition, and legacy. The anthemic track explores themes of staying
true to one’s values and principles amidst the sacrifice required to achieve
greater dreams in career and life. For SB19, “DAM” is a testament to the price
of success in a world that often demands more than one is willing to give. The release of “DAM” will be accompanied by
a music
video, set in a dark, medieval fantasy world inspired by the brutal and
tragic tales of knights, sorcerers, ravens, and looming castles. The video marks the latest collaboration
between SB19 and 1032 LAB, a creative team known for bringing complex,
fantastical worlds to life. Their team-up promises a journey into a brooding
and imaginative realm, further enhancing the song’s emotive power. “The music video has a lot of hidden
symbolisms and eastern eggs for fans to uncover so they should look out for
that,” says SB19. “Also, what makes this visual project so fulfilling is how
committed everyone involved is to bringing the vision to life. We’re aligned in
making the unbelievable come true, and there’s a deep respect for the art of
world-building that makes this more than just a one-off project. We can’t wait
for everyone to experience the music video.” SB19’s
“DAM” is out now on all digital music platforms worldwide via Sony Music
Entertainment. Watch the official music video here. Stay
tuned as SB19 continues to break new ground with their upcoming EP, Simula at
Wakas, and their upcoming global tour.
