Pop creation across the Philippines has long been rooted in shared cultural connection, the kind of creative practice that ties local sonic sensibilities to the global accessibility that defines pop’s cross-cultural resonance, building a body of work that travels far beyond the country’s borders while retaining the specific, rooted perspective that makes every recording that emerges from the region feel distinct. This sound, titled Since Day One, emerges from that rich, expansive creative landscape, rooted in the core identity of Filipino pop that has grown to reach audiences around the world while nurturing the interconnected creative communities that spawn new work across the country’s many island groups.
