About this Song
R&B creators based in the Philippines work within a decades-long ecosystem that has cultivated some of the most innovative iterations of the genre anywhere in the world, a landscape that prioritizes sustained engagement with the form’s foundational roots while pushing against its perceived boundaries to create work that feels both rooted in global R&B tradition and distinctly shaped by the cultural context of their home country. The creator of I Don't Want You to Go emerges from this landscape, their practice shaped by the generations of artists who have built and expanded the Philippine R&B scene, contributing to a continuum of work that continues to redefine what the genre can be, both for audiences within the country and for global audiences engaging with R&B from the Philippines.
