the vowels they orbit releases second single “Kiliti”
After
reaching the number one spot in one of the most prominent FM radio charts in
the Philippines and peaking at number two on Spotify Philippines Viral 50 with
“Selos,” the vowels they orbit returns with a brand new single under Sony Music
Philippines.
An
easy listening number that showcases the band’s more relaxed and technically
adept side, their second single “Kiliti”
is a song about finding the perfect someone in an imperfect situation. It
tackles a kind of love that is capable of surmounting the greatest odds under
any circumstances.
“The
song was written by Nikka back in college a few years ago with just her
guitar,” says Darwin Hernandez, the band’s manager and Soupstar Entertainment’s
head honcho. “The full band arrangements were done by all the members and was
produced by Rye Sarmiento, who is also the guitarist of 6cyclemind and Banda Ni
Kleggy.”
Deceptively simple
sound
Certainly
at peace with their deceptively simple but lush sound, the vowels they orbit
takes pride with their collaborative effort in recording a worthy follow-up to
their hit single. “At first, we can’t help but feel a bit nervous about the
release of Kiliti given the success
of Selos,” bassist Patch Javier points
out. “But going back and remembering how Kiliti
is such a different song makes us feel excited, rather than pressured. What’s
important to us is that people get to listen to the song.”
“It’s
always also a great feeling when listeners interpret the song in their own ways
and find a connection to the song somehow,” vocalist and guitarist Nikka
Melchor shares the same sentiment. “Knowing that we love this song and that we
put a lot of work into it is enough to not feel worried.”
What's next for the
vowels they orbit
Now
signed to Sony Music Philippines, the vowels they orbit are set to release an
EP soon. The band, composed of Nikka Melchor (Vocals), Jeremy Sayas (Drums),
Hannah Dela Cruz (Keyboard), Gene Santiago (Guitars) and Patch Javier (Bass),
is managed by Soupstar Entertainment, which takes pride of its star-studded
roster such as Sandwich, Pedicab, Moonstar88, 6cyclemind, Gracenote, Imago and
more.
"Kiliti" is
now available on streaming and download platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes store, and Deezer.
