There’s no better way to start this month on the right foot than with great music. We’re only a week into November, but we’ve already been blessed with various new songs and albums from our favorite artists that we’re putting on repeat for the rest of the year.
The holiday season is fast approaching, and these local and international artists are here to show us that gatherings and get-togethers with our loved ones aren’t complete without tunes that get us grooving.

From exciting Pinoy Pop (P-pop) comebacks to much-awaited global releases, here are seven new songs and albums that we’re tuning in to throughout the month:
“LuzViMinda” – ALAMAT
This month, ALAMAT is taking their creativity, passion, and sheer talent to the next level through their upcoming self-produced album, Destino.
In “LuzViMinda” (short for “Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao”), one of the lead singles on Destino, the multilingual boy group champions Filipino identities and voices by highlighting the country’s diverse culture. The music video teaser also features numerous distinctly Pinoy elements, such as jeepneys, a computer shop, and a sari-sari store.
“Chicka-chick-a” – YGIG
The four members of YGIG are entering their “fierce girl” eras, and we can’t wait to witness their growth as P-pop idols throughout this new chapter.
Over a year since their last song, Vien, Hazelyn, Jewel, and Maeg are back in business and stronger than ever. The group’s latest single, “Chicka-chick-a,” is a total girl power anthem, and it’s unapologetic in every sense of the word.
“Paruparo” – BINI
BINI is giving us a much-needed confidence boost with its new single, “Paruparo,” as we await the girl group’s upcoming album FLAMES. The vibrant track takes us on a hopeful journey of growth, self-discovery, and finding the courage to chase after our dreams. To those in need of a sign to take that leap of faith towards achieving their goals, this song might be exactly what you’re looking for.
“Pinocchio” – AHOF
This year has been fruitful and jam-packed so far for AHOF, the nine-member multinational boy group making waves in the Korean pop (K-pop) scene.
In July, AHOF captured fans’ hearts with its debut single, “Rendezvous,” as well as the group’s first EP, Who We Are. Now, the boys are back with “Pinocchio,” a sentimental pop-rock anthem about grappling with unspoken feelings and inner battles. Their sophomore EP, The Passage, is also worth a listen.
“Rizz” – XLOV
XLOV never fails to make a statement everywhere they go. The group’s limitless artistry shines through every comeback, and their latest single, “Rizz,” is no exception.
Wumuti, Rui, Hyun, and Haru have proven to be trend-setting idols in this edgy new track, which showcases each of their styles and undeniable charisma.
Andalucia – IV of Spades
IV of Spades is making the most out of their unexpected yet widely recognized return as a four-man band. Though six years have passed since Blaster, Zild, Unique, and Badjao last performed as a group, the goals they achieved together this year prove their passion has never left.
After winning Rock Song of the Year for “Aura” at the inaugural Filipino Music Awards (FMAs), IV of Spades released Andalucia. The special 12-track album encapsulates the band’s journey as artists and storytellers, featuring their latest hits, such as “Aura,” “Suliranin,” “Konsensya,” and “Nanaman.”
No Labels: Part 01 – Yeonjun of TXT
This month, Yeonjun of Tomorrow By Together (TXT) is earning his stripes as a solo artist with his debut six-track EP, No Labels: Part 01.
On November 7, 2025, the K-pop idol released a three-in-one music video to celebrate his new milestone. The cinematic video features the tracks “Coma,” “Talk To You,” and “Let Me Tell You,” his collaboration with Daniela Avanzini of KATSEYE.
