Singer-songwriter Jel Rey explores the lingering emotions of a past relationship in his latest single, “Bumabalik Pa Rin.”
The alternative indie-pop track, written by Jel Rey, reflects the yearning to reconnect with an ex-lover and express unresolved feelings. The song was co-produced by Edsel De Guzman of Drive of Daydreams and StarPop label head Roque “Rox” Santos.
Jel Rey debuted as a recording artist in 2023 with his single “hele pono,” earning a nomination for Best Performance by a New Solo Artist at the 37th Awit Awards. Later that year, he released his first mini-album, TERAPEWTIKA, which included tracks like “Nasa Alapaap Ang Paraluman” and “Tayo (ating istorya).”
Last month, he dropped “Naiilang,” a song celebrating genuine friendship. Known for his adventurous writing style, Jel Rey experiments with genres like rock, hip-hop, pop, and soul. He has also gained traction on TikTok, sharing his songwriting process and performing for strangers in his viral content.
“Bumabalik Pa Rin” is now available on digital streaming platforms.
