What to expect in the music industry in 2023?

The COVID-19 epidemic has had a significant impact on the global music business; live performances and concerts have been canceled or postponed, and many musicians and other industry workers are struggling financially. The usage of streaming services, virtual and online concerts, and other online platforms has expanded as the business has adjusted to the new reality.

Music trends or styles and genres of music that are currently in vogue may vary by region and can change over time. Some of the music trends that have been popular in recent years include the following and we may continue to expect in the music industry in 2023:

Streaming




The rise of streaming services such as Spotify, Apple Music, and Tidal has changed the way people consume music. Streaming has become the dominant way people listen to music, and it has had a major impact on the music industry, allowing for more direct connections between artists and fans, and making it easier for independent artists to reach a larger audience.

Both the number of users and revenue in the music streaming industry have grown in 2021. Independent musicians, who can advertise and sell their music through digital platforms without a traditional record company, are likewise becoming more and more prevalent in the music industry. However, the business continues to face difficulties like the persistent problem of copyright infringement and the insufficient payment of artists and songwriters.

Hip-Hop and R&B

Hip-Hop and R&B have been some of the most popular genres in recent years, with many successful artists and hit songs in these genres.

In 2023, we may expecting music from Kendrick Lamar, Nicki Minaj, Cardi B, Lil Nas X, Future, Lil Baby, Lil Uzi Vert, A Boogie wit Da Hoodie, Polo G, Megan Thee Stallion, Roddy Ricch and new acts on the rise. Check out upcoming albums here.

Pop (P-Pop on the Rise)

Pop music is a genre that encompasses many different styles and can include elements of rock, R&B, hip-hop, and electronic music. Pop music is known for its catchy hooks and upbeat tempo, and it continues to be popular across many different cultures and countries.

Lizzo, Doja Cat, Harry Styles, The Weeknd, Dua Lipa, may release new tracks that will fill the airwaves.

While K-Pop still dominates the charts globally, it is undeniable that P-Pop is beginning to make waves. P-pop, short for Philippine pop music, is a genre of popular music that originated in the Philippines. It is a fusion of Western and Filipino influences, including elements of pop, rock, R&B, and hip-hop, as well as traditional Filipino music such as OPM (Original Pilipino Music). P-pop has been gaining popularity in recent years, both in the Philippines and internationally. The rise of social media and streaming platforms have made it easier for Filipino artists to promote and distribute their music, and the increasing popularity of K-pop and other Asian music genres has helped to open the door for P-pop to reach a wider audience. Additionally, the Philippines has a strong music industry and a rich tradition of songwriting and music production, which has contributed to the growth of P-pop.

The P-Pop Kings, a Filipino boy band known as SB19, just conquered New York City. SB19 immediately traveled to New York City for the opening leg of their WYAT [Where You At] USA Tour following a successful sold-out performance at the Smart Araneta Coliseum and a multi-city tour of the Philippines.

Other acts like BGYO, Alamat, First One, Bini, 1st.One, Dione, Ppop Generation, among others are also gaining a wider fan base.

Electronic Dance Music (EDM)

EDM encompasses a wide range of electronic music genres, including house, techno, and drum and bass. It has become increasingly popular in recent years, with many successful EDM festivals and DJs.

Latin Music

Latin music has been gaining popularity in recent years, thanks to the success of Latin pop, reggaeton, and other genres.

Kung Magkita Ta sa Langit by AzukiMi & Chupaping

WHAT WILL you ask God when you meet Him in Heaven?




That is what this new song from Tunog Danao's AzukiMi and Chupaping is all about. It talks about how we usually set aside our duties to the Almighty as we go get busy with our worldly engagements only to turn to Him again when times get rough.

Get ready to be guilt-ridden as you listen to this track.

Here is the official music video of Kung Magkita Ta sa Langit by AzukiMi and Chupaping:




The music video stars AzukiMi and Chupaping themselves in the main role, with the special participation of KreyziBayrus (Charles Cyril Boc) and his mom (Dinavivian Pasaporte-Boc), Ripztah (James Hermosa), and Rowena (AzukiMi's special someone).

One important note about the making of this video is that it shows how dedicated AzukiMi and Chupaping are in their craft. They worked really hard in order for this project to be realized. Due to lack of funds, they used their skills -- electrical installation -- to pay for the expenses of the video production. They helped repair the electrical installations at Ayel's Digi-Hub in exchange for the video production. They have proven that nothing is impossible for those who are willing to work hard for their dreams.

Maling Hinala by AzukiMi feat Ayel - Official Music Video

From the same team that brought you Merong Forever, here comes another music video, but this time, it is a little bit darker and a little bit sordid. Written by AzukiMi, Maling Hinala, is a song about a guy who had been misled by a "girl" he pursued, ending up with a funny realization that their being together is a big mistake.



Ayel provided the chorus, which reminds everyone about the deception that is upon us all. Not all that the eyes see is real. One has to be cunning to avoid being fooled.

Providing the sultry voice of the "girl" is Jezzamae Matura. My apologies for missing to include her in the end credits. We couldn't have completed this project without her raspy, sexy voice.

Here is the music video of Maling Hinala by AzukiMi featuring Ayel:

Munting Atleta by Ayel, Kreyzi Bayrus, and Azukimi of 95Hundred Tunog Danao

IN A well-attended forum of scholar-athletes, Musika Central's newest music video project has been launched. The event was held at the Notre Dame of Dadiangas University (NDDU) on October 3, 2015.





Scholar-athletes from NDDU, Holy Trinity College, Ramon Magsaysay Memorial Colleges, and Mindanao Polytechnic College gathered to learn about the advocacy of Coach Jay Omila, Chairman of the Table Tennis Association of the Philippines, which is "Sports Ay Edukasyon," pegged on the opportunities for better education made available by getting into sports.

Here's the official music video of Munting Atleta:

Munting Atleta is an advocacy song for struggling Filipino Athletes and their quest for better life using their God-given talents in sports.

This is inspired by the story of the advocacy Coach Jay Omila, who helps send young athletes to school through his program in the Table Tennis Association of the Philippines (TATAP), of which he is the chairman. Several young athletes from General Santos City have been given scholarships to De La Salle Zobel, oneof the country's most expensive schools.

The song narrates the dreams, aspirations, and even the difficulties faced by young athletes. The video highlights the stark contrast between the situations of athletes who lack support and those who belong to an established sports organizations like the Table Tennis Association of General Santos City (TATAG). It speaks of the importance of providing greater support for young athletes.

Being in sports has numerous advantages. Being able to go school as a scholar athlete is a prime advantage. Another is developing a sense of discipline among our youth and leading them away from drugs and violence.

Tunog Danao takes part in shedding light on the plight of young athletes through this music video product.

Produced by Musika Central, 95Hundred, Tunog Danao Royalty Entertainment Production, this video is a testament of our desire to make a difference in the society through our music.

Our heartfelt thanks to Mr. Cary Cacdac and Coach Jay Omila.

Merong Forever by Ayel and AzukiMi Official Music Video

Here is a new song from 95HUNDRED and Tunog Danao entitled "Merong Forever."



It is always subject of debate today whether forever exists or not. The phrase, "Walang Forever" is almost an automatic response whenever people hear of a failed relationship. But we think otherwise.

While a lot of people think negatively about failed relationship, we ask,"Should we stop loving because we have been hurt once?"

This song and video relives the precious moments of love on its early stage.


For this video to become a reality, we would like to thank the following:

Bunzo of Hymnmagsikan Wrecords
Rovie Ann and Roviliza Perez
Kreyzi Bayrus
The guard and crew of Dunkin Donuts Pioneer
Chavez Family (especially to RJayand J-J Chavez)
Shoutouts also to Down South Krew (DSK) for their graffiti that we used as backdrop.

MusikaCentral continues to support GenSan's local artists.

#Hugot Official Music Video

Hello, guys! Here's another music video from GenSan's Local Artists, Phixon Dee of GMC, and Kf-One, Kreyzi Bayrus, and AYEL of Tunog Danao, entitled, #Hugot.



This song tells the story of someone who is torn between moving on and standing up for love.

Written and performed by Phixon Dee of GMC, Kf-One, Kreyzi Bayrus, and Ayel of TunogDanao (Tunog Mindanao), #Hugot is dedicated to all the "loves" we've lost.

The video shows three guys who had the same fate: left by their girls on the day of their anniversary. At the end of the video, their girls wanted them back. It's only a quick narrative posing the question: after being hurt by someone, will you still love that person again?

Thanks to MusikaCentral, Tunog Danao, Digmaang Heneral, and JRhyme of Explicit Records for making this happen.

Thanks also to Pizzahan, Champaca St., General Santos City for allowing us to shoot there.

Tanggap Ko by Bastardo

From the production team that brought you, Iyong Ganda, here is another song from the one and only Bastardo, Tanggap Ko.



Tanggap Ko is a song that many could relate to. Anyone who has been in a relationship that turned sour could attest how difficult it is to accept that the relationship failed and to move on. That is what this song is about.

Although it might sound positive as the title suggests, the persona in the song is in deep lamentation and remorse.


The video takes a playful side of the song's message. The persona, in his pain, attempts suicide several but always fails. Maybe, it is enough sign to believe that ONE SHOULD NOT COMMIT SUICIDE just for a lost love.

We did some twist in the ending. It is up to you to conclude if losing the girl (?) was something to regret or a good riddance.

Bastardo (Reinvincent Morales) is a popular rapper from GenSan. He is currently affiliated with a local group Tunog Danao and 95Hundred.

I'm Not Invincible by AYEL ft Kreyzi Bayrus

Here's the second collaboration between Ayel and KreyziBayrus. I'm Not Invincible is an expression of anguish of a guy who is always perceived to be strong that everyone looks up to him and admiring him but nobody truly cares about him and what he feels because of the preconception that he can always manage.




In the video we translated the message into a short-lived love story between a girl who meets this cool guy. This guy has done great things for the girl earning her admiration but not her love.

KreyziBayrus (Charles Cyril Boc) and Michelle Gamutin play the lead roles, with the participation of Mayshelle Gutierrez, AXL Grico, and Kf-One Represent. (Thanks a lot, guys, for making this  music video project possible! XOXO)

We would like to thank Piyesta KTV and Restobar at Robinson's Place GenSan for not apprehending us when we took our shots there. We'd also like to thank Fashion Fusion boutique for lending us the dresses worn by Michelle. Other shots were taken at Heaven's Star Kitchen.

Thanks also to Ripztah of Pulaw Records and Tunog Danao Royalty Entertainment Productions.

Here's our video:



Again, we're doing this for the love of music and art.
