Bryan Chong Takes Flight In Debut Album "Departure"

Kapamilya singer Bryan Chong embarks on a heartfelt journey through “Departure”, his debut album that traces the bittersweet process of leaving one chapter to begin another. The former “Idol Philippines” season 2 finalist wrote all seven tracks featured in his album now available on digital music streaming platforms under StarPop PH including “Isang Gabi”, “MLNDE!”, “Hindi Tayo”, “Tahan”, “Sugal”, and his earlier releases “Ereplano” and “K*pal”. StarPop label head Roque “Rox” Santos served as the album’s producer. 

The key track “MLNDE!” reflects Bryan’s honest reckoning with his past approach to love. The song lays bare the emotions his former partners may have felt as he faces his own imperfections. Through mistakes like cheating, flirting, and ghosting, he admits to learning hard lessons — without glorifying them. The StarPop artist first stepped into the music scene in 2017 as a contestant on the inaugural season of “The Voice Teens Philippines” where he became part of Sarah Geronimo’s team. Five years later, Bryan returned to the spotlight in “Idol Philippines” Season 2, finishing as one of the competition’s top 5 finalists. 

In 2019, he released his debut single “Pakiusap” which earned him nominations at the 12th PMPC Star Awards for Music for Male Acoustic Artist of the Year and New Male Recording Artist of the Year. Bryan served as a guest performer in “BGYO Now: The First Solo Concert” and Klarisse de Guzman’s “The Big Night” concert where he performed “Ereplano”.

Up-and-coming artist Shawn Crab explores the highs and struggles of young love with back-to-back singles “Tago” and “Ang Labo”, now available on digital music streaming platforms under StarPop PH. “Tago” portrays the push and pull between desire and doubt — wanting to confess love, yet choosing silence out of fear while “Ang Labo” delves into the confusion of dealing with someone who sends mixed signals. Shawn penned both tracks which were produced by StarPop label head Roque “Rox” Santos. 



Last February, the Kapamilya singer-songwriter released “Love Has Come My Way” which marked her first single under StarPop. Hailing from San Francisco, California, U.S.A., the 16-year-old artist moved to the Philippines to follow her musical dreams. Shawn discovered her love for music early, starting with piano at age 10 and later writing her own songs at 11. Taking cues from Billie Eilish, Frank Ocean, and Clairo, she uses her music as an emotional outlet, transforming feelings into heartfelt songs.
