Without a doubt, Steve Badiola – singer, songwriter and main figurehead behind the Philippines’ most successful emo outfit TYPECAST – has paid his dues and earned his rightful spot at the top of the pantheon of original Filipino music. His penchant for disarming melodies and heart-wrenching vocals set against a wide spectrum of sonic styles are second to none, both in the local and international live music circuit, and his tenure with the band for nearly two decades is still widely celebrated by music fans of all ages to this day. Which is why his latest solo project comes at the most perfect time wherein Badiola can both embrace the genre that catapulted his talent and legacy and try something a little different from his usual approach of creating music that’s downright exciting and undeniably loud. There’s definitely more exciting things to come, so fans of all ages should definitely keep their eyes peeled and ears open for further music to be unleashed soon under the international music company, evoXs.
