OPM and P-Pop appreciation post! Here's some songs from the 2020s that I think should get more attention especially from Filipinos. Some of these songs are recent and some are from a few years ago. Some artists are popular and some are niche. Some are their more famous songs while others are deep cuts. Here's just some I really like, feel free to add more!
Puede Ba by Maymay Entrata feat. Viktoria - Jazzy and sexy party song that you could dance to, also the music video is just everything to me
flashing lights warning and quick camera movements
youtube
Babala by Yeng Constantino - Another jazzy song but more just a vibe about a woman dealing with a toxic person and the rumors they spread about her
added context: "Marites" is a name often given to local town gossipers or chismosas
cw for some violence but they're looney tunes level stuff
youtube
'SSP (Saksak Sa Puso) by VXON - P-Pop song about a betrayal that leads to committing a murder/being murdered
cw for blood, graphic violence, and on-screen death, and warning for flashing lights, and fast camera movements/changes
youtube
Guillotine Drops by Bita and the Botflies - Creepy chill vibes on a rock song about a woman accused of witchcraft trying to prove her innocence
cw for implied death/execution and beheading obv
youtube
Waiting For The End To Start by the Itchy Worms - Apocalyptic edgy song full of vibes made sometime during the pandemic. It definitely sounds like it.
cw for skulls and a lot of death imagery
youtube
Wake Me Up by One Click Straight - English alternative/indie rock song with that lost kid that just wants to find himself kinda beat, and again, the vibes are good
flashing lights warning and fast camera movements/changes
youtube
Santigwar by dwta - cutesy love song about doing witchcraft and it's in Bikolano too :D

oof these are huge lists lmao.. im more versed in jpop, whereas all the playlists i have for kpop are for groups ive listened to a decent amount of times to remember a few songs, and for the most part they're all mainstream. i kinda wanna look into nct but rn i don't get the difference between all their units(?)
anyways, i'd love to get some recommendations, especially for kpop and anime song artists that i may have missed! even songs from other languages that have edm or chill vibes i'll also take! maybe opm too but i'll think about that for now XD
My favorite edits to find on TikTok are western media to OPM (original Pilipino music). Especially if it's about romance angst! The heart shattering lyrics that stab at my soul makes me cry more.
1.) Past Life by Fievel Is Glaque
2.) Moon by Bryce Dessner, James McAlister, Nico Mulhy, & Sufjan Stevens
3.) Minsan by Munimuni
4.) San Junipero by Carousel Casualities
5.) Beware of the Dogs by Stella Donnelly

An ale was in front of me in the jeep
Kaharap ko sa dyip ang isang ale
He prayed the rosary with his eyes closed
Nagrorosaryo mata niya'y nakapikit
Go to the convent
Pumara sa may kumbento
The driver said that I was late because I was just getting off
Sa babaan lang po sabi ng tsuper kase me naghuhuli
Ale is still cheap
Mura pa rin nang mura ang ale
Holy dog, Saintly Horse
Banal na aso santong kabayo
I'm laughing
Natatawa ako hihihihi

A man is preaching in the street
Nangangaral sa kalye ang isang lalake
The young beggar asked for money
Hiningan ng pera ng batang pulubi
Sorry for the temple
Pasensya na para daw sa templo
Just eat, said the toddler
Pangkain lang po sabi ng paslit
Really can't
Talagang di ba pupwede
The man moved
Lumipat ng pwesto ang lalake
Holy dog, Saintly Horse
Banal na aso santong kabayo
I'm laughing
Natatawa ako hihihihi

Banal na aso santong kabayo
I'm laughing
Natatawa ako hihihihi

Whatever you do to your brother
Anuman ang iyong ginagawa sa iyong kapatid
You are doing the same to me
Ay siya ring ginagawa mo sa akin

As I work on my 'ateez as my favorite barbie movie' I blast OPM playlist as it is very calming and i got more ideas from it.
Whay is OPM, if you may ask?
OPM - Original Pilipino Music
Yes, I got inspired from my playlist most especially that most of them came from my favorite movies so in short I am also creating a masterlist for my favorite Filipino movies!
