Viral band Tothapi releases new single 'Kutsinta'

MANILA -- Bicol-based band Tothapi has released its latest song "Kutsinta" under Sony Music Entertainment.

The song is now available on various music streaming platforms and on Tothapi's official YouTube channel.

The mellow crossover tune, which "explores the beauty of being in a healthy relationship that sees love as more than just a feeling, but a manifestation of commitment and sacrifice," was written and produced by the band themselves.

"It is basically created through the lens of normal events in our relationships that matter the most: situations in a relationship that make it unknowingly stronger and ties both lovers more. The song also emphasizes how partners got each other’s back, especially at times of vulnerability,” Tothapi said in a press statement.

“Our band wanted to produce a pop-style genre that emits good-vibe energy and is love-driven. With this, we wanted our listeners to feel that they were in a state where they were content and happily in love while listening to Kutsinta,” the band added.

The rising jazz-influenced pop band recently went viral with their song “Celeste” and even received praise from veteran superstars like Asia's Songbird Regine Velasquez.

The seven-piece band is the newest member of the Sony Music Entertainment family. 

“It has been an amazing ride with Sony Music Entertainment,” Tothapi said. 

“The constant support we get from them to pursue our endeavors and visions for Tothapi has been unending. They also help us navigate our way through the music industry by giving us advice and letting us grow and discover new things.”
