Contributing another OPM track to listeners’ relapse-worthy playlists, singer-songwriter nicole has dropped “Kalendaryo,” a song written for those who long to relieve cherished moments—whether they are with an ex they are still in love with, friends or family, or even an old version of themselves that they used to be.
Moving on is easier said than done, especially when an aching heart is filled with regrets and keeps replaying all the what-could-have-beens in their head. With no way to set things straight, they instead look back on the good old days. And for those who find themselves caught between letting go and holding on, “Kalendaryo” captures that longing for one more chance.
To bring this familiar kind of heartbreak to life, nicole worked with someone who knows how to navigate the pain of a past love. For “Kalendaryo,” he teamed up with Red Ridao, the songwriter behind Cup of Joe’s historic hit “Multo.”
The collaboration comes at another significant point in nicole’s steadily growing career.
Nicole Brian De Leon is a 21-year-old musician who never expected his first digital release to skyrocket up numerous music charts and dominate Spotify Philippines’ editorial playlists. With “Panaginip” reaching a peak of No. 2 on the platform’s Top Songs chart, the track has surpassed 163 million streams at the time of writing.
Since then, nicole has continued to build an expanding catalog, with releases such as “Tulala,” “Gabi,” and “Panaginip (Stripped)” garnering millions of streams. These milestones have also paved the way for wider recognition, with the singer-songwriter eventually winning Best New Artist at the 39th Awit Awards.
Now, as nicole adds another heartbreak anthem, take time to sit with the bittersweet memories and reflect on all the lessons these chapters carry by listening to “Kalendaryo” on all digital streaming platforms. Meanwhile, the official visualizer is already available on the artist’s YouTube channel.
