We will get there. Kung magcocollab kami wwe want to collab with our singer-songwriter of our time, Rico Blanco, Ely Buendia, Joey Ayala,” lead vocalist and guitarist Clem Castro shared.</p><div><iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fweb.facebook.com%2Forangeandlemons%2Fposts%2Fpfbid02cyLmwEzRogEs6ku7stGS7FNMruy5Gr2AP1hVxreAdAvRkr41pr7YGA97TztpVh2Nl&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500" width="500" height="250" style="border:none;overflow:hidden" scrolling="no" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>The band also said that they also wanted to create music with artists such as Unique Salonga, Blaster Silonga, and Zild Benitez. </p><p>They also aim to make an album for an international audience and collaborate with other artists from other countries.</p><p>“We’ll try to find a partner to collaborate with (abroad),” Clem added. “Yung next album namin, we want to do an international release. All English tracklist.”</p><p>He went on: “Ayun yung concept so maghahanap kami ng collaborators around Southeast Asia, maybe outside Southeast Asia para makapagpresent at makacover ng new territories.

That’s the only way for a song to survive so many years. For us, we feel so validated with our work knowing that the new generation will discover our music, whatever platform there is now and the coming future,” Clem remarked.</p><p>The band also shared how they felt gaining more fans and listeners.</p><p>“Nakakabata siya. We feel relevant, we feel young. It’s inspire us to create more for everyone kaya soon we will be putting out more music,” he said.</p><div><iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?height=314&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fweb.facebook.com%2Forangeandlemons%2Fvideos%2F480518671628404%2F&amp;show_text=false&amp;width=560&amp;t=0" width="560" height="314" style="border:none;overflow:hidden" scrolling="no" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>The band also shared that they have received an invitation to make a musical play about their discography. However, they had to turn it down, for now, as it is still not the right time for them.</p><p>“We wanted to do that, but I think it’s not yet time. Siguro gawa pa kami ng isang bagong album next year,” Clem revealed.</p><p>“It’s down the line. May nagoffer na rin, Orange &amp; Lemons musical. We want to take our time with it para hindi siya, alam mo iyon, production wise hindi ginahol. A year or so (siguro),” he added.</p><p>“We need to go to the drawing board on this. We will work on this personally din with the director, staff. Hopefully.”</p><div><iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fweb.facebook.com%2Forangeandlemons%2Fposts%2Fpfbid037wDEEgKjzFVaq3FMQctCdqUxb59toCjzbjakX5hZVzzxAxJtKy4a9xuXmeK9QZ3il&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500" width="500" height="250" style="border:none;overflow:hidden" scrolling="no" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>Speaking of more music, Orange &amp; Lemons released their new music video for their song “La Bulaqueña” featuring Miss Universe Philippines 2024 Chelsea Mercado.</p><p>“We were together for a day, and she was wonderful to work with, very humble,” Clem shared about the experience working with the beauty queen.</p><p>Jared Nerona added, “Kalog siya. Very kalog. Lahat ng movements namin sumasabay siya.”</p><div><iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?height=295&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fweb.facebook.com%2Forangeandlemons%2Fvideos%2F3852945085033027%2F&amp;show_text=false&amp;width=560&amp;t=0" width="560" height="295" style="border:none;overflow:hidden" scrolling="no" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>The band also shared the story behind casting Chelsea and how it was a “perfect timing” for their music video and Chelsea’s win, where they personally reached out to her on her TikTok account as Chelsea also reenacted Juan Luna’s painting of the same title for the competition.</p><p>“Taga-Bulacan din siya. She’s from Bulacan, we’re from Bulacan, the painting is a woman from Bulacan so everything fits in,” the band stated.</p><p>They are also open to using their music in Chelsea’s campaign for the Miss Universe international pageant this year.</p><p>“Kung gagamitin ng Miss Universe, we will be happy for it,” they stated.</p><div><iframe width="741" height="391" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/_6f_x5cMQ-s" title="La Bulaqueña - Orange &amp; Lemons (Official Music Video)" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>“To Chelsea Manalo, we love you.
