MC Einstein and Queen of RnB KYLA Releases "LAMBALAK" Single

MC Einstein and Queen of RnB KYLA

Looks like RnB songs are making a huge comeback as top hits list them all again in the Philippines. Recently, we had the chance to chat with MC Einstein (artist-songwriter, Ex-Batallion) and the Queen of RnB songs, KYLA at the Cornerstone Studios in Quezon City. They were both excited about this new single they did a duet of called "LAMBALAK", which MC Einstein also wrote and released today.

The actual story of this was quite interesting. They had an out of town event where Yeng Constantino, MC Einstein and a couple of Cornerstone artists were supposed to go. On the day of the flight, Yeng got sick and was rushed to the hospital. They had to have another artist to sing at the event and got KYLA. At the plane, they were seated beside each other and at first, MC Einstein was a little nervous. When all was settled, he mustered up the courage to tell Kyla that he wanted to do a collaboration with her. He's a big fan of that genre and grew up listening to Kyla's songs, so he was just pushing his luck. Little did he know Kyla knew him too because she listened to his songs, and just said "Let's go, when will we record?". 

MC Einstein was surprised at how receptive Kyla was. A few calls, going back and forth, he sent Kyla the chorus part of "LAMBALAK" where she only said "Okay so when will we record?!". He was again excited because Kyla didn't even ask for any change in the melody or lyrics, she was just happy to sing it the way MC Einstein wanted it to because Kyla said "It felt like I was listening to the RnB songs I used to sing, it felt like HOME!".

Here's the rest of our interview with them on video, please enjoy!

They will be releasing the song "LAMBALAK" today at 12am and will be doing a live stream on their platforms. Make sure you follow the individual artists pages and Cornerstone Entertainment for more updates about the single's release. We listened to it and loved how sexy it sounded, seriously, you should give it a stream today!

Congratulations MC Einstein and Kyla! Hope this hits the charts today!

YENG CONSTANTINO is Back with BABALA

It was a nice evening at CUBAO EXPO where we attended the launch of Yeng Constantino's newest single called "BABALA". Fans and people who attended the event were in Mommy garb, literally dusters depicting a normal day in a Filipino barangay. It was also fun that they got us to experience the launch with Filipino street food of Banana Cue, various fish balls, Kikiam and Tukneneng. They also served us Sago't Gulaman when her set started.

Here's our interview with her after her gig

She was actually nervous doing this because it's been a long while since she's performed in front of a crowd. She also has not released much music for the past few years and this new single BABALA is both fun, amusing, something you could play to have a good time. 

It's out now on streaming sites and the music video is also on YouTube. Make sure you listen, stream and watch it if you are a fan of her music. She's a gem, and I hope by her merits alone, people would appreciate what she's dishing out. She plans to do more of these in the next few months so stay tuned!

Thanks Cornerstone Entertainment for the fun evening! Thank you to Yeng too for being so nice!

CORNERSTONE Announces Co-Management of AGSUNTA

One of the biggest talent management companies in the Philippines, Cornerstone Entertainment just recently announced their co-management with PPL, the excellent and world class music of the band AGSUNTA.

After their recent successful FREE concert on their 10th year in the industry, they are expected to have an even brighter future with the things planned for them by Cornerstone. One thing that I picked up from the interview with them a few weeks ago was an international stint, perhaps a big concert in the works too, and the boys are just raring to go and do it very soon.

Here's the statement of Cornerstone Entertainment during the event:

 

Jireh Singson says "We have so much plans to release original songs in a couple of months. We already released one and we have about two in the works. We just had this banked during the pandemic, this time we want to go full force to highlight them even more. I feel the sound has changed, the genre won't be in one place because we all have different influences. If we want to, it will be different but the formula would be the same, so we won't look like a hodgepodge of different music. We want to work with Ivana Alawi on our new music videos, and even DonBelle if possible. Aside from that, our dream is DongYan, which we hope Sir Perry could device a way to do. I remember doing a music video with Ivana a few years ago, when she wasn't of a huge star yet (in 2018 for Wakasan) and so we wanted to do it now, like full circle."

Want to see them perform? Here's a performance they did just for us!

This is just the start, congratulations AGSUNTA on this really good start! Can't wait to see what this partnership with Cornerstone would do with your reach. You in an international concert/show may just be a reality in a few months. Stay tuned folks!
