Unique Salonga "Sino" | Solstice 2024

story time:
unique salonga is my favourite opm artist whom i rediscovered outside of ivos around 6 years ago. it was such a sweet memory. my older friend and i were in the back of the taxi going to an appointment and i felt kind of antsy, or annoyed, and "sino" started playing. it calmed me down as hell.

"what a cute song!" my friend says as she smiled.

i searched him in youtube, and the rest is history. i do want to emphasize that i relate to his music a lot. like, a lot. my other favourites like "bukod-tangi" and "huwag ka sanang magagalit" (❣️) just did so many feely things to me. he's also a lyrical and musical genius, with "we know", "ozone" and "i'll break your little heart." and also a very good performer. and his genuine vibes in general.

i saw a comment that says "he was a quiet kid in class, but very determined." and. that's. also. me. that was me. it's still kind of me.

suffice to say, "sino", besides being the first song i heard from him, also connected with me a lot. so i just wanted to say all this. after 6 years, i finally saw him perform. a genuine dream came true.
