Everyone loves a good song, more so when they inspire and move listeners toward self-discovery and betterment.
In celebration of Women's Month, Tarsier Records shares eight tracks that champion the strength, vulnerability, and individuality of Filipinas and embolden them to shine in their own ways:
1. KZ Tandingan's "Winning" KZ Tandigan's second international single empowers listeners to 'take the high road' and push themselves to strive and succeed by themselves. Its music video also bears out-of-this world visuals highlighting how KZ rules her 'queendom' with her individuality.
2. Allen&elle's "Call You" Filipina duo allen&elle talk about the importance of seeking help when in need in their dancey gospel-soul track. It emphasizes the value of prayer as "our way to call for help from God" in the midst of day-to-day struggles.
3. Relden's "couldn't speak" The song is artist's message to the people who tried so hard to bring her down. She wrote it at a time when she felt like she couldn't stand up for herself so she would turn to dance to release her emotions.
4. Daze's "Magic" Pampanga-born Daze celebrates and embraces her femininity in the 80s-inspired, familiar yet fresh-sounding R&B song. The modern soul, upbeat track conveys the exciting feeling of pursuing intimacy and warmth with someone you deeply love.
5. Sab's "Happy You Stayed" Sab dedicated her song "Happy You Stayed" to her close friends who stayed with her. The indie-pop track is all about thankfulness for the people who are still present in her life regardless of the different journeys they have to take.
6. Yuzon's "Oh My Days" The song is a dream-pop soundtrack to thinking of better days. Written at the height of the quarantine, it brings hope and stirs enjoyment in new passions and self-discovery. The artist dedicates "Oh My Days" music video to female skaters all over the world.
