Filipino singer-songwriter\/producer Ace Banzuelo<\/strong> continues to carve out a new lane in pop music with the release of \u201cBabae,\u201d an \u201880s inspired track steeped in warm, analog-sounding synths and romantic lyrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The retro-infused jam serves as the official anthem for #BabaeAko<\/em><\/strong>, an International Women\u2019s Month campaign by Sony Music Philippines which aims to put a spotlight on women and female artists under the label\u2019s roster through several online and promotional activities this March 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the Alive<\/em> hitmaker, it\u2019s an honor to lend his platform to an important cause that empowers women in creatives who have long been deprived of equal opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBabae<\/em> was already finished months ahead and it was set to be released earlier than the target date,\u201d says the 21-year-old artist. \u201cWhen the team approached me about the possibility of using my song as part of a women-focused campaign, I immediately said yes. I\u2019ve worked with many talented women all my life, and it\u2019s about time that we recognize their legacy and how they have contributed significantly in pushing the culture forward. They are as great or even as better than their counterparts if truth be told.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The music video of \u201cBabae\u201d is in fact, helmed by Katrina Arciaga, a budding female director who has worked with Ace on several projects before. \u201cWe\u2019ve worked on small projects as independent creatives before, but this time without a doubt I knew we could pull off my vision and bring it to life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The visuals tell a story of a person earning someone\u2019s trust. In Ace\u2019s words, it\u2019s a \u201csweet, magical and mysterious\u201d metaphor on the various stages of liking someone, including the challenges that come with it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI came up with the playful concept last minute actually,\u201d the eclectic pop phenom shares in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aside from its interesting music video concept, Ace also takes pride of writing a multilingual song that highlights the poetic beauty of Tagalog and Cebuano, with a generous sprinkling of English, Japanese and Spanish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make this possible, the talented newcomer asked help from friends and family in taking into account preciseness and proper word usage when it comes to writing the lyrics of the song. \u201cI always felt that adding those little language twists would add an interesting layer to the track.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBabae\u201d is Ace Banzuelo\u2019s follow-up to the sparkly bop \u201cAlive,\u201d which kicks of his new era with genres that range from K-Pop to city pop, \u201870s disco to dance music. To date, Ace has racked up more than 12 million streams on Spotify alone, and is slated to release his full-length debut album this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBabae<\/a><\/strong>\u201d is out now on all digital music platforms worldwide. Watch the music video <\/em>here<\/em><\/strong><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
