Remember the feeling of slipping into your favorite pullover, the one infused with the scent of your lover? Dionela’s newest single, Hoodie, captures that exact assuring warmth and intimacy with the help of fellow artist, Allison Shore.
This dreamy R&B track draws inspiration from the smooth sounds of the 2000s, with Dionela’s buttery vocals blending seamlessly alongside Allison Shore’s. The laid-back beat and effortless transition from English to Filipino add a unique layer of texture, creating a coziness that lingers long after the final note fades.
But Hoodie is more than just a catchy melody. It is an unapologetic love song without pretense. Listen closely to the lyrics and you’ll discover Dionela describing how simplicity and beauty found in everyday moments can transform the ordinary into something extra special. The favorite hoodie worn by your loved one becomes their favorite look of yours simply because it lets your beauty and personality shine through, or in some cases, take it as theirs for that tangible representation of connection.
Hearing Hoodie is a multi-sensory experience as it brings you that secure feeling of a well-worn garment, the one that evokes memories and the feeling of your loved one’s hug. “Malabong mapundi / Luwalhati mong bitbit / Na sa iyong mata’y lingid / Ikaw ang kahulugan ng ‘simple,’” and so goes the single. “Going out with just your hoodie / You look so fine, babe / Ganda mo’y tila dapit hapong / Dagat ang katabi.”
