Rising singer-songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Kenaniah drops his latest single, ‘Bahala Na,’ on Wednesday, July 27.
Published under O/C Records, Kenaniah’s latest track explores the concept of relying on fate when it comes to love.
The record’s narrative highlights the artist’s romantic sitch in a contemporary environment — pondering if pursuing someone he stumbled upon online would be worthwhile in the long run.
“So it all started with this girl I saw on social media. She was nice. So I thought maybe I should follow her and maybe she would follow me back. But then I realized, “Is it worth it? Am I really sure about this? Am I ready to pursue another girl?” In fact, I don’t even know where she lives. And I’m like, “Oh well. Bahala na.” So that’s where I got the idea,” Kenenaniah shares.
“Do not fall for someone whom you don’t really know that well or you may probably end up hurt,” he adds, talking about the key message of this track.
Bahala Na exhibits Kenaniah’s penchant for bringing out alternative pop’s bright and moody tunes — heavily shaped by his musical interests from the late 80s and early 90s.
The artist produced and arranged the overall structure of this track alongside Hazel Pascua, who mixed and mastered the record.
“This song was also inspired by some of my favorite music that I used to listen to when I was in high school and some of my favorite 90s storytelling songs,” he shares, talking about the sonic features of this track.
Bahala Na appears to take quite another route as the record puts a spotlight on another standpoint of being in love. His previous releases, such as Hindi Ikaw, which has garnered over 500k streams, and Better Now, amassing over 400k streams, bring more highlight to the notion of “being sad and broken from a relationship.”
With its distinct and captivating musical techniques, this latest track underlines Kenaniah’s elevating approach to the OPM scene that deem to pursue the introduction of the young artist’s artistic stamp.
Bahala Na is now available for streaming on all digital music platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube.
