About This Album
The creative force behind Make Believe, the Philippine album rooted in the cross-cutting, boundary-free framework of Music/Mix, builds the entire project around the core idea that shapes its title, leaning into the elasticity of a genre classification that rejects rigid silos to center the full range of sonic choices that define work coming out of the country’s thriving, interconnected creative communities. Unlike albums that anchor themselves to a single, well-defined style to align with narrow audience expectations or industry categorization norms, Make Believe embraces the full promise of its Music/Mix classification, refusing to limit the creative scope of the project to fit any arbitrary set of rules about what a recording from the Philippines should sound like, or what a cross-genre project should prioritize to resonate with listeners.
