The song comes with a music video that stars KAIA’s Angela and Charice as his love interests
Josh Cullen, a solo artist and member of the popular P-Pop group SB19, has released his follow-up single under Sony Music Entertainment called “Pakiusap Lang.” In this track, Cullen once again proves his versatility as an artist by combining trap-laden beats and hip-hop verses to create a straightforward love song. According to Cullen, the lyrics came straight from his heart, and he wanted to make sure that the arrangement and sonic vibe reflected his Filipino hip-hop side.
The song, which is based on Cullen’s personal experiences and thoughts about relationships, highlights the struggles of maintaining a relationship when work or other life struggles get in the way. It encourages the listener to hold on and trust the process. “Pakiusap Lang” is an emotional and honest romantic rap ballad that showcases Cullen’s stylistic finesse and proves that he doesn’t need gimmicks to make his point.
The release of “Pakiusap Lang” is accompanied by a music video that explores the idea of holding onto the memories of a loved one, even when it’s time to let go. Directed by Toothless, the video features KAIA members Angela and Charice, who also acted in the video. Cullen describes the video’s concept as emotional and impactful, incorporating plot twists to capture the viewer’s attention.
“Pakiusap Lang” will be part of Cullen’s debut EP, which is expected to be released later this year. Cullen’s cousin Ocho helped him with producing, conceptualizing, and refining the tracks. The upcoming record sounds like a fusion between hip-hop and pop music, reflecting Cullen’s journey as an artist and a person.
JOSH CULLEN’s “Pakiusap Lang” is out now on all digital music platforms worldwide via Sony Music Entertainment.
