The live iteration captured on Split - Live at The Wiltern grows from the same core of unflinching self-awareness that shaped the body of work that would become Buzz, the third studio album from this Filipino pop creator. What would coalesce into that full-length studio release started with an urgent quake from the innermost core of its creator’s being, a foundational shift that colored every iteration of the work that followed, including the raw, unfiltered performance preserved in this recording. The creator’s songwriting remains as intimate as ever, even when stretched to fill the sprawling, energetic space of the Wiltern, a venue that demands a balance of soft vulnerability and unshakable command that this artist delivers in perfect lockstep with the throughline that runs through all of her work.
