Here are our favorites from juan karlos’ latest album
When juan karlos takes the stage, he becomes a man possessed. Overwhelmed with emotion, he holds his guitar and sings into the microphone, transporting himself to a different world. We, as the audience, are mere spectators to his artistic musings. It’s infectious, the way he immerses himself in his music, and it resonates with millions of people.
His latest album, “Sad Songs and Bullshit Part 1,” has already made waves. The lead single, “ERE,” became the first Filipino song to debut on Spotify’s Top Songs Global chart. But this album didn’t begin as a collection of love songs. As juan karlos explained on Instagram, it started as a compilation of heartfelt words and melodies for someone he loved deeply. However, as things changed and turned sour, the songs transformed into expressions of sadness and frustration. Hence, “Sad Songs and Bullshit.”
ERE
As the success of this track continues to grow, “ERE” captures the frustration and exasperation of a relationship that has lost its love. The lyrics express the feeling of being blindsided and abandoned, leaving you alone in the air. The song’s pacing and structure are particularly effective. It starts slowly, almost solemnly, maintaining a monotonous tone for the first two minutes. But then, the bridge hits, and everything intensifies—the track builds to a climax, instruments blaring, and juan karlos’ vocals becoming a full-on shout.
Like going through the stages of heartbreak, “ERE” progresses from sadness to frustration and eventually anger. It’s a powerful song that resonates with anyone who has experienced the rollercoaster of emotions that come with a broken relationship.
Sad Songs and Bullshit
This album’s introduction sets the tone perfectly. In an era where albums are thoughtfully curated experiences, rather than mere compilations of songs, juan karlos takes on the role of a storyteller. It’s as if he’s gathered us around a campfire, inviting us to immerse ourselves in the world of “Sad Songs and Bullshit.” The lyrics beckon us to embrace the emotions, to feel the pain and find solace in the music.
Tapusin Na Natin ‘To (feat. Paolo Benjamin of Ben&Ben)
What a collaboration this is! juan karlos and Ben&Ben join forces for a heartbreak extravaganza. The lyrics convey the frustration of being manipulated and taken for granted in a one-sided relationship. It serves as a perfect ending to the album, providing closure to the theme of longing and unfinished business. The music video for this song is a tearjerker that tugs at the heartstrings. It’s a seven-minute slow burn that asks the painful question of whether you still hold any value in the eyes of an ex-lover.
Time Machine
Sometimes, a touch of classic OPM hits the spot. “Time Machine” is like a 2023 version of Kamikazee’s “Narda,” and it’s a delight to listen to. The lyrics yearn for a return to the past, where love was still alive. It’s a bittersweet anthem that speaks to the longing for lost time. With this song, juan karlos reminds us that sad songs and bullshit have a place in our hearts.
