After reaching the number one spot in one of the most prominent FM radio charts in the Philippines and peaking at number two on Spotify Philippines Viral 50 with “Selos,” The Vowels they orbit returns with a brand new single under Sony Music Philippines.
An easy listening number that showcases the band’s more relaxed and technically adept side, their second single “Kiliti” is a song about finding the perfect someone in an imperfect situation. It tackles a kind of love capable of surmounting the greatest odds under any circumstances.
“The song’s written by Nikka back in college a few years ago with just her guitar,” says Darwin Hernandez, the band’s manager, and Soupstar Entertainment’s head honcho.
Deceptively simple sound
Certainly, at peace with their simple but lush sound, The Vowels they orbit takes pride with their collaborative effort in recording a worthy follow-up to their hit single. “At first, we can’t help but feel nervous about the release of Kiliti given the success of Selos,” bassist Patch Javier points out. “It’s always also a great feeling when listeners interpret the song in their own ways and find a connection to the song somehow,” vocalist and guitarist Nikka Melchor shares the same sentiment.
What’s next for the vowels they orbit
Now signed to Sony Music Philippines, The Vowels set them to release an EP soon. The band, composed of Nikka Melchor (Vocals), Jeremy Sayas (Drums), Hannah Dela Cruz (Keyboard), Gene Santiago (Guitars) and Patch Javier (Bass), managed by Soupstar Entertainment, which takes pride of its star-studded roster such as Sandwich, Pedicab, Moonstar88, 6cyclemind, Gracenote, Imago and more.
