About this Song
The catalogue’s commitment to centering the full scope of creative output emerging from Philippine popular music communities ensures that every work tagged as pop from the country receives the same level of care and intentional placement, regardless of the assumptions that casual audiences might bring to any sound they encounter. Titled brutal, this pop sound joins a growing archive of works that push back against reductive narratives about what Philippine pop can be, rejecting narrow ideas that would box the form into a small set of expected themes, tones, or approaches, and instead claiming space for bold, unapologetic expression that is reflected first in its unflinching title.
