Ten years after launching her professional music career, Ylona Garcia returns to the Philippines for two homecoming shows that are as much about looking back as they are about moving forward.   The two-part anniversary celebration will revisit songs from her decade in the music industry while presenting them through her own interpretations and the perspective of the artist she has become.    The homecoming begins on September 4 with Backyard Live: Ylona Garcia Spotlight, a Manila-exclusive performance at Backyard Warehouse Studio in Baesa, Quezon City.

Shortly after her RUBADGE win and its official release on the 4th episode of Drag Race Down Under vs. The World Season 1, M1ss Jade So unveils a devilish drag look accompanied by a new song of the same name, “BAPHOMETA”, produced by collaborator Naive Supreme—out now, under Offshore Music.   Coming down from the clouds of nebula, the esoteric Drag Queen superstar and current Filipino pride, M1ss Jade So, morphs into the occult figure “Baphomet” for the category “Wildlife Couture” in the latest episode of the Drag Race competition.

  Nearly a decade after “Leaves” made a dent in pop culture consciousness with its unassuming tenderness, Ben&Ben reinterprets the heartwarming ballad with “Leaves (Reimagined),” a new rendition that transforms the original into a more mature reflection on forgiveness, second chances, and the complexities of growing together.   Instead of recreating the original, “Leaves (Reimagined)” approaches the track from a different emotional vantage point, mirroring the profound depths and tensions of life in sonic form.
