SB19/Facebook</div>P-pop kings SB19 returned to Singapore on Sunday with a high-energy concert that highlighted both their vocal prowess and Southeast Asia’s growing music scene, <a href="https://cnalifestyle.channelnewsasia.com/entertainment/sb19-singapore-concert-2025-review-philippines-pop-group-470221">Channel News Asia reported</a>.In a review by Hazeeq Sukri, the quintet — Josh, Pablo, Stell, Ken and Justin — were praised for their “individual prowess and personalities” during the Simula At Wakas tour stop at Arena @ Expo last August 24. Despite complex choreography, their vocals “did not falter one bit,” Sukri wrote, noting the blend of Stell’s soaring tones, Pablo’s smooth delivery, Josh’s rapid-fire rap, Ken’s baritone and Justin’s softer voice.The setlist ranged from frenetic numbers like &quot;Gento&quot; to soulful tracks such as Time. One highlight came during &quot;Crimzone,&quot; which saw the arena awash in red lightsticks as fans jumped in unison.While many attendees were Filipinos, Sukri observed that fans from Indonesia and elsewhere also turned out, with English translations of the group’s Tagalog lyrics projected on screen.The concert also featured regional collaborations: Singaporean singer-songwriter Benjamin Kheng performed &quot;I Want You&quot; with the group, and Indonesian artist Aruma joined SB19 on a Bahasa Indonesia version of &quot;Mapa.&quot; Both guest appearances, Sukri wrote, “drove home the fact that this region’s music can succeed on a global stage.”<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1756293063368539312990_1344018667090922_165183338633443623_n.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="SB19 collaborated with Singaporean singer Benjamin Kheng at the concert.
