Fall “Stupid in Love” with MAX at his Ayala Malls shows this April!

Tweet

Can’t get enough of ‘STUPID IN LOVE’? Then you’re in luck, because multi-platinum Warner recording artist MAX is coming to Manila for three mall shows!

Today’s rising popstar

MAX has been in the music scene for a while now, but his viral bop 'STUPID IN LOVE' featuring LE SSERAFIM's Huh Yunjin has gained him a new level of global popularity and critical acclaim.

 

He also just released ‘LOVE IN STEREO,’ his third album that caps off a series of beautiful singles. ‘STUPID IN LOVE,’ which recently premiered its official music video, is just one of twelve remarkable hits MAX features here. The no-skip album also contains collaborations with renowned artists, such as 'IT'S YOU' featuring keshi, 'STRINGS' with JVKE and Bazzi, and 'BUTTERFLIES' with Ali Gatie.

 

Luckily, Filipino fans now have the opportunity to watch this rising popstar perform these well-loved songs! MAX is returning to the Philippines to perform a string of mall shows, namely at the UP Town Center on April 5, at Ayala Malls Manila Bay on April 6, and at One Ayala on April 7. With MAX’s last visit being way back in 2016, fans are surely excited for this highly-anticipated return.

 

A global phenomenon

MAX’s music is fueled by authenticity, something that has become apparent with his unfiltered, heart-on-sleeve lyrics and handcrafted visuals. The way he invites listeners to be part of his world is what makes him so relatable, which is why his rise to fame comes as no surprise.

 

One good example is how 'STUPID IN LOVE' took the world -- including the Philippines, by storm upon release. Right out the gate, the track exploded worldwide with 160 million TikTok views, 60K TikTok video creates, and 4 million streams in less than four days. Within the Philippines alone, the track has already achieved over 3 million streams on Spotify. It’s obvious that Filipinos love songs that come from the heart – something MAX excels at – as the Philippines currently ranks third among MAX's global fanbase.

 

The next big thing

There’s no doubt that MAX’s return to the Philippines will show just how much he’s grown as an artist. After all, he has toured the world multiple times over, with recognition from multiple media outfits. This includes being called "A young pop god" by GQ, the "top pop star to watch" by Billboard, and being nominated for "Best New Pop Artist" by iHeartRadio Music Awards. His music continues to send a message of creating safe spaces where everyone can feel accepted, and it’s only a matter of time until MAX reaches greater heights.

Revisit the timeless appeal of Rivermaya’s Greatest Hits: Himig Ng Dekada 90

Tweet

With timeless pop-rock anthems that cut across generational lines, Rivermaya has easily cemented their place as one of the most important Filipino bands of all time. Their songs have served their purpose as great anchors for intimate conversations and as a source of comfort for every Filipino yearning for music they can call home.

__________________________________

A top-tier collection of the band’s most iconic alt-rock anthems, the compilation album is the go-to playlist to hype OPM fans for their reunion concert on February 17, 2024 at the SMDC Festival Grounds

__________________________________

More than their wistful and sometimes introspective reflections on love, pain, freedom, and youth, Rivermaya penned music with a mix of unwavering earnestness and vulnerability, capturing the essence of everyday life in nuanced but relatable terms.

The band’s iconic lineup from 1994 to 1998, which includes Bamboo Mañalac, Mark Escueta, Nathan Azarcon, and Rico Blanco has produced some of the most enduring classics in Pinoy rock. From the chest-thumping sing-alongs of “Hinahanap-Hanap Kita,” “Elesi,” and “Ulan” to the stadium-sized glory of “Awit Ng Kabataan” and “Kisapmata,” from the melancholic balladry of “If,” “Panahon Na Naman,” and “214” to the cult appeal of “Bring Me Down” and “Luha,” the popular four-piece act achieved commercial success while delivering groundbreaking cultural impact and artistic vision in equal measure—something that has proven to be elusive, even among their contemporaries in the field.

Their legacy, which shaped the ever-fickle pop culture of the ‘90s with their distinct brand of eloquence and charm, is fully captured in their essential Rivermaya - Greatest Hits: Himig Ng Dekada 90 album, which chronicles the biggest hits of their formative years as well as the underrated tunes that still hold merit up to this day. Featuring twelve of their most iconic songs and two remixes, the compilation album gives listeners a complete picture of the band’s music: fearless in its humanity and imperfection, but smugly cool in portraying tenderness, chaos, and adventurousness in situations that don’t always feel like they’re made for the movies. It’s as real as it gets.

“There are powerful messages in the songs, for those who need to hear them,” drummer Mark Escueta reflects on the compilation album’s intrinsic appeal. “Overall, it’s fun to listen to the songs, even the sad ones. We’re honored that we get to share our music and inspire people on a personal, intimate level. We no longer own these songs; they belong to anyone who dares to wholeheartedly embrace them and still emerge whole from the process. It’s everyone’s songs now.”

With Mañalac, Escueta, Azarcon, and Blanco headlining a reunion concert on February 17, 2024, at the SMDC Festival Grounds, Rivermaya’s Greatest Hits record serves not only as a convincing argument for the band’s inimitable genius but also as a guide to the immortal music that’s so deeply ingrained in Pinoy collective consciousness. For long-time fans who would want to deep-dive into the band’s discography and review their career-defining ‘karaoke’ jams, this compilation album is the way to go for the essential no-skips fodder.

Here's the track list to get you started:

1. Hinahanap-hanap Kita

2. Ulan

3. 214

4. Elesi

5. Himala

6. Awit Ng Kabataan

7. If

8. Kisapmata

9. Panahon Na Naman

10. Kung Ayaw Mo, Huwag Mo

11. Bring Me Down

12. Luha

13. 214 (Tripnotic Mix)

14. Kisapmata (Mayhem Mix)

Rivermaya - Greatest Hits: Himig Ng Dekada 90 is out now on all digital music platforms worldwide via Sony Music Entertainment.

The original lineup, composed of Bamboo Mañalac, Rico Blanco, Nathan Azarcon, and Mark Escueta, stages a one-night-only reunion concert produced by Live Nation Philippines. Dubbed ‘Rivermaya The Reunion,’ the iconic pop-rock outfit will be celebrating the unparalleled Rivermaya legacy with a highly anticipated set featuring some of their greatest hits and rarities. Tickets are available on the Live Nation Philippines website and SM Tickets outlets.

About Jonas Brothers

Standing out as one of the most successful groups of the 21st century, Jonas Brothers—Nick Jonas, Joe Jonas, and Kevin Jonas—have sold north of 20 million albums and counting, garnered two GRAMMY® Award nominations, earned 26 Billboard Hot 100 hits, logged three consecutive #1 debuts on the Billboard 200, and generated billions of streams. Among many accolades, they’ve recently claimed a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In 2019, they notably ignited the comeback of the decade with their Platinum-Certified Republic Records debut, Happiness Begins. It yielded the history-making, 5x-Platinum smash “Sucker,” which minted them as “the first group in the 21st century to debut at #1 on the Hot 100,” exploded as the “longest running #1 Pop Airplay Single of 2019,” and received a GRAMMY® Award nomination in the category of “Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.” Bowing at #1 on the Billboard 200, Happiness Begins impressively scored the “biggest sales week of 2019 at time of release” and housed the Double-Platinum “Only Human” and Platinum “Cool.” The band supported the album with the worldwide “Happiness Begins Tour”—selling over 1.2 million tickets—and the Amazon Original documentaries Chasing Happiness and Happiness Continues. Along the way, the members simultaneously juggled prolific solo careers extending into television, film, and successful business ventures. In 2023, Jonas Brothers once again proved they are a constant force, embarking on a new era with the release of The Album, via Republic Records. The Album was produced by Jon Bellion and features hit singles “Waffle House” and “Wings.” In support of the new album and this new era for Jonas Brothers, they kicked off “The Tour” with two sold-out shows at New York's iconic Yankee Stadium on August 12th and 13th.

“The Tour” will include stadium and arena dates around the globe through 2024, resulting in the band's biggest and most extensive tour to date.

ABOUT THE ROSE:

The Korean Alt Pop band is composed of four members: vocalist and guitarist Woosung,

vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Dojoon, bassist Jaehyeong, and drummer Hajoon. Renowned since their inception for electrifying performances, The Rose quickly became one of Korea's most sought-after groups delivering a series of critically acclaimed albums that resonated with fans worldwide. In 2019, three of the band members temporarily went on hiatus to fulfill their mandatory military service obligations, during which Woosung pursued a successful solo career, releasing captivating albums and embarking on sold-out world tours. In a moment of sheer joy for their devoted fans, The Rose reunited during one of Woosung's performances in South Korea in 2022. This reunion paved the way for their first full-length album HEAL, which was inspired by the transformative power of music and the stories shared by both their fans and themselves. HEAL soared to #4 on Billboard's Heatseekers Chart, while their accompanying HEAL Together World Tour drew an overwhelming crowd of over 90,000 attendees. Now, with their sophomore full-length album DUAL which made the Mediabase 200 chart in its first week of sales, The Rose takes their music to new heights with Rolling Stone UK calling it “an album that takes you on a layered, emotional journey, full of elation, heartache and twists and turns - just like life itself.” Building upon the emotional honesty and vulnerability showcased in HEAL, this latest offering explores the profound concept of 'balance.' Seamlessly merging light and dark elements, The Rose masterfully weaves emotions and sounds, capturing the dualistic essence that defines their music.
