Music Feature: Hometown, Part 2 / Sponge Cola[7.16 tue]

Magandang umaga po!

From Overseas Philippines is a Filipino radio program broadcasting every Tuesday morning from 5 A.M. in the morning with DJ Cindy & Mina.

In this week's edition of the program, Mina picks-up Sponge Cola's 2023 album [Hometown, Part 2] as featured album. Sponge Cola is one of the most popular rock bands in the Philippines.

It was their 9th studio album released via Sony Music Entertainment, and serves as a continuation of the band’s full-length album, Hometown—released in December 2022.

One of the songs included is “So Close”, which features pop singer Morissette. The song was specifically penned by Yael Yuzon, and tackles the story of two people who have built a deep connection over time, but whose relationship never really progressed into something that could last a lifetime. The vocalist and guitarist Yael Yuzon said it took 20 years to write.
