Young Filipino band HEY JUNE! continues to solidify their place in the OPM band scene, now with the release of their new single “LASIK.”
The love song illustrates the warmth one feels the first time one lay their eyes on a person one feel a special connection with, then realize they’re the person they’ve been searching for all their life.
“LASIK” is the sixth song from HEY JUNE!’s roster of groovy and mellow singles and their third single in Island Records Philippines.
Exploring The Realm of Love Songs
According to HEY JUNE!, this single is the first explicit love song they recorded and released. And, what makes this song different from their previous singles is its music and groove.
“We’re a really young band, just turning two this year. We try to explore, experiment, and have fun with our sounds. But we still kept that rock flavor we also showed back with ‘SINO MALI’.”
In recording “LASIK,” the band recounted how they had the best time interpreting the demo to fit their sound. They hope that the track delivers a tune that their listeners can bop their heads to and feel the groove along with the lyrics that conveys a ‘kilig’ feeling – as most love songs do.
However, in keeping their sound on the track, HEY JUNE! also encourages fans to rock out at one part where the cadence breaks out into an eruptive riff.
“There’s a steady groove to the song that you’ll feel. However, the song will take you on a ride someplace else, and then bring you back to that steady groove you’ve been introduced to earlier into the song.”
What’s Next for HEY JUNE!
HEY JUNE! has been consistently releasing music since 2021. And with the release of “LASIK,” the band is looking forward to playing more shows and performing the song to a live audience.
For the last two years, the band has established their place in the Philippine’s music industry with songs that resonate with many fans of original Filipino music.
Their steady rise to fame means meeting new people, including fans and other artists, songwriters, and producers. And by forging meaningful connections, they hope to collaborate with the best of today’s OPM scene, giving them a chance to make more music.
HEY JUNE! further expresses what they’re most excited for—the release of their first album, expected to happen some time this year.
“It’s a lot of fun making it and we’re excited to share it with you soon,” they said.
As a band with an abundance of fresh ideas and energy, they’re ready to take the OPM scene by storm. HEY JUNE! is definitely one to look out for this year.
