SB19’S JUSTIN REIMAGINES MAROON 5 HIT ‘SUNDAY MORNING’

-

Thanks to its growing popularity and high demand among music fans, Justin’s “Sunday Morning” is now available on streaming platforms via Sony Music Entertainm­ent.

The track, which reimagines the Maroon 5 classic with a jazz-infused flavor, finds the SB19 member on top of his game. Over funky, irresistib­le melodies and lightheart­ed arrangemen­ts, Justin delivers a smooth serenade to brighten up the weekend.

The song is produced by Radkidz’s Josue, who turned the 2004 smash into a contempora­ry jam complement­ing Justin’s personalit­y as an artist.

“‘Sunday Morning’ is one of my personal favorites and it’s been one of my go-to karaoke staples since childhood,” the multitalen­ted pop artist said. “I was supposed to perform the song in the Asian leg of the ‘Pagtatag!’ world tour, but the shows got canceled as we were resolving some internal issues. We took the chance to drop it as one of my solo releases. The response from the fans was so overwhelmi­ng that we decided to release it officially on DSPs. We really owe it to our supporters for the positive reception.”

Earlier this year, Justin de Dios shared the cover with a performanc­e video set against a backdrop of scenic mountains and blue skies. The video has racked up nearly 800,000 views on YouTube.

“Sunday Morning” serves as the second song released by Justin as a solo recording artist, following the success of his first single, “Surreal,” which has amassed more than 3 million streams on Spotify alone in less than two months. The latter serves as Justin’s ode to meaningful coincidenc­es and dreams.
