Viajero Kultura Pilipinas

Global superstar Meghan Trainor has announced her seventh full-length album, Toy With Me, out April 24 via Epic Records. She has also unveiled The Get In Girl Tour, produced by Live Nation, which will begin in June 2026 and see Meghan return to iconic venues, including Madison Square Garden in NYC and the Kia Forum in Los Angeles. Today, Meghan is giving fans a taste of the record with the upbeat new personal anthem “Still Don’t Care.”

In this new era, Meghan expertly dances between vulnerability and empowerment, encouraging fans to embrace themselves despite any challenges they may be facing. All the while, Meghan delivers undeniably infectious pop production and witty songwriting with more precision than ever. On the new music, Meghan shares, “‘Still Don’t Care’ really sets the tone for this whole Toy With Me era—it’s bold, fun, a little cheeky, and full of confidence. This song came from a place of growth for me; I’m learning to care less about perfection and more about what actually makes me happy. I’m learning to shake off negativity, choosing joy, and living life my way — because at this point in my life and career, I’m ready to be done worrying about pleasing everyone. ‘Still Don’t Care’ is my reminder to myself—and to anyone who’s ever felt judged. Toy With Me feels like the most honest and fearless I’ve ever been—it’s all about self-confidence, freedom, and learning how to meet people where they are at. I wanted to kick off this new chapter with a song that makes people feel unstoppable, and I can’t wait to bring that same energy to everyone on The Get In Girl Tour next summer.”

 

The new album follows 2024’s Timeless, which was Meghan’s most confident and ambitious record yet. Timeless was accompanied by Meghan’s first headline tour in 8 years and the biggest of her career—a 26-show run that included sold-out stops at Madison Square Garden and the Kia Forum. Shortly after the tour wrapped Meghan was also honored with the Hitmaker Award at the Billboard Women in Music Awards, celebrating 10 years of hits since the release of her debut album, Title, and chart-topping smash, “All About That Bass.”

 

Next summer, Meghan heads back on the road for The Get In Girl Tour, which sees her return to over 30 arenas and amphitheaters across North America, featuring support from Icona Pop. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to The Trevor Project. The Trevor Project is a nonprofit organization with a charitable mission to end suicide among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning (LGBTQ+) young people, offering suicide prevention and crisis intervention services for LGBTQ+ youth through their free, 24/7 hotline and serving as a leading voice in education, advocacy, and research relating to LGBTQ+ youth and mental health.

Meghan has also partnered with Headcount for The Get In Girl Tour to encourage voter registration and participation. HeadCount is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting participation in democracy through the power of music, culture, and community. By collaborating with artists, festivals, and brands, HeadCount helps register voters and inform them about upcoming elections, empowering individuals to make their voices heard.

Christian Bautista Makes Vibrant Return to Recording with ‘Rainbow’

Viajero Kultura Pilipinas

Christian Bautista bursts back onto the music scene, joining forces with Raisa for a lovely new take on South Border‘s ‘Rainbow.’ At the launch, Sony Music and Booya Bagels (BGC) treated bloggers, vloggers, and press to their signature bagels, with Christian himself handing them out and sharing smiles.

 

True to our word, we managed to catch up with Christian—sort of—and here we share updates on his 2025 plans, career moves, and current projects. We considered crafting a full article from his responses, but decided to present them as they are instead: unfiltered, honest, and straight from the heart.

 

We ride the waves. Change is good. We cannot be stuck. Technology changes, but emotions, drive, and heart do not.”

 

Hi, Christian, how’s it been since your last album? From originals to Jose Mari Chan, to theater, foreign TV guestings, etc, what has Christian Bautista not done yet that he wants to do (and is raring to do) in the near future aside from this new project? 

 

It has been a great year with NYMA exploring ways to connect to my audience via social media and content creation. Since my last album, I have been writing, collaborating, and still releasing music. Also, I am very happy to be an artist under SONY Music Philippines. They have a dynamic team and solid leadership. Soon, I want our company, NYMA, and its talents to grow and be recognized as one of the best companies in the entertainment industry, championing Filipino artists on the world stage.

 

Tell us about how ‘Rainbow’ came about? Who thought about the concept? Is this a clue to what the next album will be all about? Has South Border reached out to you yet about your version? How do you feel about recording again after a long time?

 

Rainbow has always been a favorite song of mine. I am happy to find out that it was also one of Raisa’s favorite tunes as she was growing up in Jakarta. After a successful Japan tour, we decided to turn it into a duet. My next album is going to be exciting. I am happy that you are looking for clues as I curate them. I have messaged Jay Durias and thanked him again for making the song back in the day. It feels great recording it. Knowing that it is a timely and timeless song. Needed to be heard in every age.

 

I heard you already shot the video. Do you feel that everything has changed too the last time you recorded an album? Tell us about it.

 

Yes, we shot the MV in Jakarta. We move with the change. We ride the waves. Change is good. We cannot be stuck. Technology changes, but emotions, drive, and heart do not.

 

I am assuming that this will be a part of a new album. What would it be about, and how different would this be from the other albums you’ve made so far in your career? Are you at liberty to divulge the other singles that will be contained in the album (if it is). Why the long wait for another album?

 

We are building the album one song at a time. We are very happy with our current direction, and we are excited upon its completion. I am currently not at liberty to discuss the final concept as of now. But I am thankful that we are building momentum.

 

We saw you at Booya Bagels, and you seem to be in your element. Tell us about the highs and lows of a 20-plus-year career and how marriage has changed you as a person and performer?

 

In every career, there are days when things are bright and there are times when times are dark. We continue to hold on to the faith and the purpose for which lives are created. And I hold on to God, who I know loves me. Marriage has deeply made me fall in love with the themes of love even more. More so as I sing them.

 

If you can tell us a little about Kat Bautista with regards to how it affected, boosted, and inspired your singing career since the 2018s onwards, it would be a little plus for your avid fans.

 

Kat is an amazing wife and an amazing partner in NYMA. She is our rock. She has definitely inspired me with her love. I am so happy I get to work with her and tour with her on this journey. We believe in each other, and we cannot wait to build our future together step by step with God’s guidance.

Following Her Recent Wins, KREY Follows Up With “Why”

Viajero Kultura Pilipinas

 

KREY has unveiled her newest single, “Why,” a hypnotizing alternative piece that whispers about complicated love. This release follows the warm reception of her earlier works “Waters” and “Meet Again,” which found their way onto Spotify’s discerning playlists — FRESH FINDS PH, OPM RISING, POSES, NEW MUSIC FRIDAY, and .PH — drawing listeners into her world of introspection.

 

In KREY’S words: “In a world overcomplicating love, ‘Why’ questions the mess and finds a simple truth. To my listeners, may this song be your guide to finding what feels right.”

 

The song’s indie alternative vibe invites you to daydream, stirring sentimental feelings of nostalgia and introspection. “Why” questions the irrational side of love. How can two people build a shared life and future together, only to end up as strangers or enemies? As the lyrics put it, “Wondering why life’s so weird that you meet someone that you won’t last with at all.”

 

Following her career wins, KREY has stayed active with live performances, including one at a Converge Philippines event and another at the Kadayawan Festival in Ayala Malls Abreeza, Davao, last August. For those craving a live performance, KREY is set to launch the single alongside an exclusive music video screening in Manila. Stay tuned by following Diorama FM and KREY on all social media platforms.

Gloc-9’s “Kakampi” Is For Those Who’ve Got Your Back

Viajero Kultura Pilipinas

Life’s a rollercoaster, but when you’ve got the right person by your side, every twist and turn feels a little easier. That’s the vibe behind “Kakampi,” the latest track from Gloc-9, Abaddon, and Hero. The word “kakampi” means “ally,” and this song is all about being that ride-or-die partner who sticks with you through thick and thin.

 

 Following Gloc-9’s previous release “Bonethugs,” which explored misunderstandings and quarrels in relationships, “Kakampi” serves as a reminder that at the end of the day, partners are allies who have each other’s backs: “Ramdam ko ang nasa loob, tandaan mo ang ikaw ay ako. Ang pangako’y pang-hawakan mo dahil sumpa ko yan sa’yo, ako’y kakampi mo.”

 

The track is a tribute to the person you can always rely on and grow with, the chorus highlights that perfectly: “Malalampasan din natin ang lahat ng ‘to. Walang hindi kaya, basta tayo’y mag-kasama. Pahinga lang saglit, huminga’t pumikit. Tapos laban ulit, gano’n tayo kalupit. Mas madaling lumaban, mas matindi ‘pag tayo ay mag-kakampi.”

 

“Kakampi” is out now on all major streaming platforms. Whether you’re in a relationship or you just want to remind someone special that you’ve got their back, this song is the perfect anthem for sticking together no matter what.
