After
outranking international hits with “Ikaw Lang,” Spotify Philippines’ most
streamed track of 2022, NOBITA hits another career high with the release
of “Kalangitan,”
their new single under Sony Music Entertainment.
The
pop-rock ballad showcases the vulnerable side of the band, while delivering a catchy
sing-along in captivatingly familiar form.
Written
by Jaeson, Mark and Richmond, and co-produced with their frequent collaborator
Isagani Palabyab, “Kalangitan” is an inspirational tune about companionship
through thick and thin.
"Just when
you think that you have reached rock bottom, remember that there is always
someone with you who will help you reach for the heavens," the band shares
in a collective statement. "With an arrangement that stays true to our
sound and a melody that transcends emotions, this is the type of material that
we’d love to explore over and over. Dredging up emotions to the surface and
turning them into a song that everyone loves are both gifts that we’re honored
to share with our fans."
NOBITA never fails to
miss the beat when it comes to perfecting the craft of writing emotional pop
songs. This is evident in “Kalangitan,” a soaring anthem that takes ‘hugot’ in
a strikingly familiar direction.
“We’re just trying to
keep it simple and straightforward, hence, palatable to the general audience,”
the chart-topping quintent adds.
The release of the
track is accompanied by a music video directed by John Selirio. Doubling as a
commentary on high school clique system and bullying, the MV also stars rising
actors and content creators Joao Constancia and Queenay Mercado.
NOBITA’s
“Kalangitan” is out now on
all digital music platforms worldwide via Sony Music Entertainment.
