About this Song
The stream of R&B that emerges from the Philippines carries a layered set of cultural resonances that shape every work attributed to that scene, and How Am I Gonna Tell anchors itself firmly within that longstanding, evolving body of creative output that ties local creative sensibilities to the core structural and expressive traditions that define R&B as a global genre. Within the catalogue’s framework, every sound tagged to the Philippines and the R&B genre is situated within a network of works that draw from shared cultural touchstones, creative lineages that stretch back decades of creators based in the region engaging with and reinterpreting R&B to speak to their own specific experiences, and contemporary movements that continue to push the genre into new territory while honoring its foundational roots.
