R&B has carved out a persistent, deeply resonant space within the Philippines’ sprawling creative music ecosystem, a space that holds space for the range of expression that defines the genre globally while anchoring that work to the specific cultural currents that shape creative output from the archipelago. Among the works that emerge from this thriving community of creators is the sound titled Everytime I Close My Eyes, a piece that fits firmly within the lineage of R&B that has grown and evolved across the Philippines over decades, tying into a long tradition of creators centering the core values that have made R&B one of the most enduring genres not just within the country, but across the world.
