To trace the origins of the pop work from the Philippines that would solidify as Buzz, one must start not with a finalized master or a studio session’s first technical check, but with that urgent, unignorable quake that rose from the innermost core of its creator, the singer-songwriter whose third studio album would carry that name to frame every quiet triumph and unguarded misstep woven into its fabric. Her songwriting remains as intimate as ever across every layer of the project, and Buzz as a whole reverberates with the hard-earned wisdom of a young woman who charges dauntlessly towards her dreams, but can still spare a warm, unselfconscious laugh if she stumbles along the way, turning every misstep not into a source of shame, but into a small, human detail that grounds the large, sweeping ambition that powers her work.
