The track captures the sound of quiet isolation, trauma, and healing
Rising
artist JERGE proves that he’s more than just a viral sensation. Known
for his comedy skits on TikTok, the multi-talented artist continues to expand
his portfolio as a recording star, earning a coveted spot in Spotify RADAR
Philippines Class of 2025. This achievement places him alongside the
esteemed ranks of emerging Filipino artists, including Dilaw, Ena
Mori, BGYO, ONE CLICK STRAIGHT, Costa Cashman, and
more.
Expressing his disbelief and gratitude, JERGE took to Instagram to reflect on his journey. “Music has been my way to tell a story, express my emotions, and connect with people since day one. And now, with Spotify and the RADAR program, I get to share my world with even more listeners.”
With
these recent developments, JERGE remains steadfast in his creative pursuit,
recently unveiling his new single “Kalul’wa,”
under evosound PH. Delicately woven with ethereal vocals and
somber acoustic instrumentation, the song essays the lingering weight of past
traumas and the painful yet necessary process of moving forward.
Rooted
in personal experience, JERGE describes the track as a deeply confessional
piece. “With everything I've been through these past few years, I've realized
that there are really things you need to leave behind no matter how much you
love them,” he shares. “Kalul’wa is about accepting that not everything
is meant to stay; sometimes we just need to let go to protect our peace.”
Produced
by Paulo Agudelo, the track carries a sense of warmth and solace, subtly
embracing the listener with its cinematic sound. However, bringing “Kalul’wa”
to life was not without challenges.
“Before
we could even begin recording, I didn’t have a guitar to compose freely. I had
to rely on MIDI from my laptop to create the demo,” JERGE recalls. “Once the
demo was finalized, I worked with Sir Paulo Agudelo in the studio, where we
recorded the instrumentals and vocals.”
Marked
by an evocative sense of quiet isolation, “Kalul’wa” embodies both pain and
healing: piercing yet tender, sorrowful yet cathartic.
JERGE’s “Kalul’wa”
is out now on all digital music platforms worldwide via evosound PH.
