Carrying on with either business or home routines is easier with great songs as company. Viva Records encourages you to revamp your playlist again with its freshest song releases fit for all moods.

“Wag Muna” by Crakky of Allmo$t Feat. Soulstice

Banking on hope in pursuing a romance, Crakky of hip-hop group Allmo$t collaborat­ed with fellow rapper Soulstice in the new song “Wag Muna.”

Despite being hopeful, the song also depicts the importance of respect and patience in courtship. Accompanie­d by lo-fi beats, this sends out a message that creating new relationsh­ips do not have to be done forcefully.

“Pa’no Kung” by Kyle Raphael

From giddy beginnings, Himig Handog 2018 grand winner Kyle Raphael talks about painful endings with his song “Pa’no

Kung.” Apt for sulking souls who cannot forget, volume up this track while longing for a loved one.

Fusing mellow and rock, Kyle is an instant tearjerker whether one is in pain or just in the mood for a midnight drama.

“Manghuhula” Ethan Loukas

Emerging male pop star Ethan Loukas proves his versatile vocals with an acoustic track “Manghuhula.” The vibe goes along with classic OPM songs that have an easygoing melody and deep lyricism. Utilizing the relatable feeling of admiring someone from afar, Ethan hopes that the other end would become a good manghuhula (fate-teller) to instantly know everything despite being unsaid. For those bumbling admirers, this might become your new anthem.

“Balang Araw” by Color the Era

Ron Pangyariha­n of Color The Era ventures on emotions with his song “Balang Araw,” a song that tackles the desperatio­n of waiting for someone you love to love you back.

This campfire-worthy track can be your go-to when you decide to jam in your veranda alone or with some friends. Its catchy strums and beats can easily get into one’s head until unknowingl­y catching the Last Song Syndrome (LSS).

Ron really made his talent pop through the quarantine by making a potential chart-topper five months after his last song release.
