SB19’s pinuno (leader) Pablo has just dropped his latest single, ‘DETERMINADO.’

Blurring the lines between hip-hop and rock, the genre-defying track, produced by his brother and co-performer Josue, showcases Pablo’s commitment to pushing musical boundaries.

In a statement accompanying the release of the single, Pablo emphasized the collaborative nature of his work with his brother, saying, “We’re a team, always learning from each other, and drawing inspiration back and forth.” 

“DETERMINADO” showcases a fusion of dense instrumentation, haunting synths and powerful beats, revealing moments of vulnerability, strength amid chaos and a nuanced side of Pablo. 

As Pablo himself described the song: “It’s a realization when we find the courage to actually do what we want and what kind of artist we aspire to be. We are confronting our fears and roadblocks but still moving forward.”

Apart from his contributions to SB19, Pablo is gearing up for additional solo releases and hints at the possibility of a debut album.

“Again, going back to the song title, we are indeed on this journey. I have so many things planned to do in 2024, and definitely one of those is to release my own album,” he said.

The #PABLOxjosue collaboration swiftly became a trending topic on X Philippines on Sunday, 14 January, attesting to the impact of the SB19 leader on the country’s music scene.
