FELIP successfully delivered an awe-inspiring combination of art, genre-bending music and charismatic performances as he showcased his newly-released record, ‘7sins’ in its entirety at the ‘7sins the Album Concert’ last July 27, 2028 at the Space at OneAyala, Makati City, Philippines.

Sporting his bright, red hair and a collection of striking leather fits, the talented musician who has writing and production credits on all of the tracks in the album gave his 101% onstage with fiery performances that encapsulated the whole concept and vibe of the album to a T, leaving the crowd in awe. He hyped the sea of spectators with ease and touched their hearts with deep-cutting bars and soulful vocals.
He shared the stage with track collaborators Cyra Gwynth (lust) and PLAYERTWO (gluttony) and granted the crowd’s request of a short acapella of his collab track with the later called, ‘Pagdali’.
His team generously treated fans who are not able to go with several behind-the-scene teasers and updates posted on his official X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook pages all throughout the day.
Exploring another side of the ‘Ken of SB19’ that A’TIN (SB19’s fandom name) knows, FELIP (his real name and solo artist/project name) remained just as honest and authentic in his solo works’ lyricism, tackling every sin that makes us human in ‘7sins’ and eventually finding resolve and redemption as highlighted in the soulful track, ‘ache.’
With lyrics that go, “Always dream high | If I fall then that's fine | Stand up, my head high | I refuse to die | 'Cause I know in time | All my efforts won't lie | Everything will be alright | All my wounds will find light | Always dream high,” FELIP continues to inspire. His drive is a testament that your hard work will soon pay off and that every hindrance that you are facing now is preparing you as you delve to achieve greater heights.
FELIP eventually surprised the fans with a special performance of ‘tokyo’, the bonus track from the physical CD available for purchase in Japan.
He is also gearing up for several promotional activities in Japan with the Tokyo leg of ‘7sins the Album Concert’ scheduled on September 2nd, 2024.
