Sentidrama: Tarlac’s Heartstring Tuggers Hit the Big Time
A new OPM band is making waves, and they’re not afraid to wear their hearts on their sleeves. Blvck Entertainment Production, Inc. and Blvck Music, led by Engineers Louie and Grace Cristobal, are betting big on Sentidrama, a group with a sound that’s tailor-made for the Gen Z crowd and anyone who loves a good dose of “hugot” – songs overflowing with raw emotion and relatable experiences of love and longing.
From Tarlac to Your Playlist
Hailing from the province of Tarlac, Sentidrama is made up of Mac Concepcion on vocals, Paul Tagarro on bass, John Ramil on guitar, Jake Puno on drums, and Lenogz Espelico on second guitar. These guys aren’t strangers to the music scene, having honed their skills playing in various local bands. But when they came together as Sentidrama, something just clicked.
Their music, as their name suggests, is a potent blend of sentimentality and drama, guaranteed to stir up feelings and leave a lasting impression. It’s a sound that clearly resonates – their 2021 release “Liham” was even featured in the GMA FantaSeries “Heirs of the Night.”
“Pagtingin”: A Song for the Secret Admirer in All of Us
Sentidrama’s debut album, a self-titled collection of original songs, is now available on all major streaming platforms. Leading the charge is their carrier single “Pagtingin,” a track that captures the yearning and hope of unrequited love. It’s a feeling that anyone who’s ever had a crush can relate to – that desire for the attention of someone special, the longing for a connection that may or may not be reciprocated.
But “Pagtingin” is just the beginning. The album is packed with other emotionally charged tracks like “Ulap,” “Dating Ikaw,” “Sa Aking Tabi,” “Sana Ika’y Bumalik,” “Humawak Ka Lang,” “Kahapong Nagdaan,” “Labis,” and “Pighati.” Each song is a collaborative effort, showcasing the band’s songwriting prowess and their ability to channel universal experiences into music that truly connects.
A Visual Feast for the Senses
And it’s not just about the audio experience. Sentidrama’s music has also come to life visually with a music video for “Pagtingin,” directed by Edrex Sanchez. You can check it out on Blvck Entertainment’s YouTube channel.
This exciting new chapter for Sentidrama is supported by Alkaviva Waters Philippines, GLC Infinite Waters International Co., Grace Electronics Philippines, Blue Green Dragon Marketing, LG Realty Development, and Blvck Creatives Studio. With a strong team behind them and a sound that’s sure to strike a chord with listeners, Sentidrama is poised to become a household name in the OPM scene.
