Singer-songwriter Kice, who rose to fame as a finalist in Idol Philippines Season 2, is back in the spotlight with a brand-new original track titled “Tayo.” The emotionally-charged single speaks directly to those who have experienced the quiet ache of unspoken love.
“I think maraming makakarelate, ‘yung mga nagmahal nang tahimik, naghintay, o ‘di kaya’y piniling manahimik kasi yun lang ang kaya,” Kice shared. “Sometimes, we don’t get the chance to say what we feel, so we carry it, in silence, in songs, in moments we replay in our heads.”
The song, which he personally wrote, reflects his signature approach to songwriting—honest, introspective, and raw. “My songwriting is rooted in honesty. I write the way I feel—raw, quiet sometimes, but always real,” he said. “I just want people to feel seen, especially those who love in silence or carry emotions they can’t always explain.”
Produced by StarPop label head Rox Santos and Gab Tagadtad, Tayo adds to Kice’s growing discography of heartfelt OPM releases. Since joining the music industry through Idol Philippines, where he finished in third place, Kice has steadily carved out a name for himself. In 2023, he dropped his debut singles Lose Control and Only Girl, and lent his vocals to the teleserye Dirty Linen with the track Simulan. In 2024, he followed up with Can’t Get You Out Of My Head, a tender expression of lingering affection.
Apart from music, Kice is also expanding his artistic reach. He recently ventured into acting through the ABS-CBN drama Linlang, and currently appears regularly on the Sunday noontime show ASAP.
Kice’s Tayo is now streaming on major digital platforms. Fans can stay updated on his releases by following StarPop on Facebook, X, Instagram, and TikTok.
