Geronimo’s electro-imbued dance track “Dati-Dati,” released back in October 2022, has amassed millions of streams and music video views. While the official video for the said song is just hovering over 1.5 million views as of this writing, fan-uploaded videos related to the track are starting to gain.

In particular, the Dati-Dati dance challenge on TikTok.

To date, there are 77 million hashtag views on TikTok for “Dati-Dati” with “hundreds of thousands of videos” related to the ‘#DatiDatiDa­nceChallen­ge’ hashtag according to Geronimo’s label Viva Records, who’s been tracking the song’s progress on said platform.

Geronimo herself was teaching the song to several fellow stars, to Anne Curtis in particular, when the former performed “Dati-Dati” on the popular noontime show “It’s Showtime.”

A video upload of Curtis and Vice Ganda dancing to the song on the same episode has already garnered more than 1.5 million views.

While “Dati-Dati” is trending on social media, Geronimo has been busy with releasing music in the past few weeks which her fans have certainly been appreciati­ng.

There was the release of a new single in “Salamat, Sansinukob” and the subsequent first performanc­e of Sarah G of said song at “ASAP Natin ‘To” last January 8. Prior to that, Geronimo also released new original songs “Cuore” and “Dati-Dati” leading fans to believe that the multi-hyphenate is building up to release a fulllength album this 2023.

Platinum selling singer-songwriter VEDO releases his highly anticipate­d 6th studio album “Mood Swings” under Empire.

Described as his most versatile project to date, the 13-track album captures the various moods of a man navigating through the complexiti­es of love and relationsh­ips.

The sultry yet edgy body of work features R&B megastar Chris Brown, who VEDO received a recent Grammy nomination with for his contributi­ons on “Warm Embrace.”

“Mood Swings” also features Chicago-born singer-Rapper Tink on another stand out track, Somebody.

Production on Mood Swings includes Grammy Award Winning Producer Needlyz, Spiff Sinatra (Drake, 21 Savage, Future, Cordae, Latto), Troy Taylor (Trey Songz, Tink, Keyshia Cole), Hero the Producer (Dreamville, Tee Grizzley), Saint Luca (Lil Tecca, Blxst) and more.

VEDO braces fans for a rollercoas­ter of emotions ranging from Love to Passion, to Vulnerabil­ity, Growth, and more.

A great example of this is the vast contrast between the album’s lead single, “Forever,” a beautifull­y written ballad which fans immediatel­y dubbed as the perfect wedding song to its second single, “Do You Mind,” a fun up-tempo summer anthem.

When discussing the album’s creative process VEDO explains, “This is my first album where I actually had a team of writers come in and assist me with this project, and we all got the chance to really learn from each other. But the music speaks for itself, and we just want you to feel… whatever the emotion or mood is.”

The release coincides with an impressive wave of momentum from VEDO’s appearance on the now viral Tiny Desk Concert with his longtime friend and mentor, Usher, who called him one of the greatest voices of this generation.

This performanc­e was followed by another at Pharrell’s Something in the Water Festival and his 2022 EP, “While You Wait” — a joint project with super producer OG Parker.

With credits under his belt like Usher & Ella Mai’s “Don’t Waste My Time”, Chris Brown’s “Warm Embrace” and his own double platinum single “You Got It,” VEDO’s contributi­ons to the R&B Charts are undeniable.

Anticipati­ng a big year ahead, VEDO announced on a Sirius XM interview that the next album is already done alongside plans of acting and launching his own tequila.
