Belle Mariano finds healing, purpose and determination in her latest EP “And Solemn,” which she unveiled in an album launch on 27 January at the SM City North Edsa Skydome.

The EP contains five tracks, including the key track “Nobody Else” composed by KZ Tandingan. It speaks about finding the right person and yearning to spend the rest of one’s life with them.

Other tracks included in the EP are “Walang Pake” composed by Trisha Denise, “Shot Me Right Through” composed by Angelica Tagadtad, “I Choose Me” composed by Anjila Lim, and Mariano’s collaboration with Ben&Ben, “Autumn,” composed by Paolo Benjamin G. Guico and Miguel Benjamin G. Guico.

The last number serves as the soundtrack for the hit series Can’t Buy Me Love, starring Mariano and screen partner Donny Pangilinan. All the tracks are produced by Mariano and StarPop label head Roque “Rox” Santos.

“And Solemn” completes the Kapamilya singer-songwriter’s two-part album, with the first part “Somber” released in June 2023.

During “The Solemn Album Launch” event, Mariano received the Lullaby Artist Award from Spotify.

“Creating music is a way for me to express myself. Thank you so much sa lahat ng nagmamahal at sa lahat ng nagtatangkilik ng Filipino music,” said the singer-songwriter, who is set to have a birthday concert soon.
