With the anticipation for Felip’s upcoming July 5 album launch building to a fever pitch, fans are left to wonder, which gems from his trove of unreleased tracks will make the cut? Take a trip back through years’ worth of teased lines and place your bets.
1. 2020-2021 Compilation
This compilation shows how “Felip seems to have a treasure chest full of unreleased songs just waiting to be heard by the world.” Listen to some of his earliest song snippets mostly from 2020-2021. Yes, this is the same Bad Bisaya singing in COM•PLEX. He makes swoon-worthy songs too!
2. Everything Will be Alright…
Don’t let Felip’s rapping skills and signature deep voice distract you from the fact that he can also rip out soulful vocals in every ballad he sings. With its layered, almost orchestral structure, this emotionally charged song has already captured many hearts. The sound has been creating a buzz on TikTok despite being unofficial yet. No wonder it topped the previous compilation as a fan favorite.
When the day comes where he finally releases a full-length version of this, we need not cut onions.
3. That Person in His Camera Roll
Lover boy Felip comin’ through! If you think these back-to-back IG stories last March 29 are worth saving in your camera roll, what more when these are finally available on streaming platforms? Make sure to have faith that this will happen soon. Manifest!
4. Synth Siblings
To the 808 and synth enthusiasts out there, these next ones are for you. Even the stoics would be nodding their heads and making stank faces to these sonic percussions. And if Felip could evoke a fluttering of butterflies with sultry R&B jams, best believe he can also ruffle some feathers with cypher diss tracks if he wants to. Watch out as these might be Foes’s siblings!
5. It’s Always Been You
And how could we forget about the ultimate rizzler of a tune this next one is, with the infamous lyrics “It’s you, it’s always been you”? Originally teased in 2020 with a more acoustic-indie arrangement, Felip surprised us with a remix version with American singer-songwriter Zacari in 2023. Even after three years, it’s always been and will always be one of the top fan favorites.
So, which songs on the list are your personal bets to be part of his album? Whether you lean more into badass bangers or slow and chill music, you can leave it to Felip to give you the best of both worlds. And with the prospect of collaborations, music videos and more, it’s safe to say that we can only expect the unexpected in this upcoming era. Stay tuned!
