Vice Ganda teases album comeback, teams up with WRIVE

New track “Takong” brings together Vice Ganda and next-gen P-pop talents.

Fans may soon have new songs to memorize as Vice Ganda revealed on Monday’s episode of “It’s Showtime” that a new album is in the works.

While no release date has been announced, the comedian-host shared that one track was written by Russu Laurente and members of P-pop boy group WRIVE.

The song is titled “Takong,” said Vice. “Pero ‘di mo pwedeng suotin,” joked co-host Vhong Navarro. Vice earlier shared she is currently recovering from a foot injury caused by frequently wearing high heels, with her doctor advising her to wear slippers until she fully heals.

In response, she quipped that she’ll make sure she’s already back in heels by the time the song is released. “Nakapag sapatos na ako kahapon,” she added.

The collaboration brings together two generations of Kapamilya artists. WRIVE, composed of Asi, Drei, Ishiro, Mathew, and Russu, is among the newest names in the P-pop scene under ABS-CBN’s Polaris-Star Magic banner. 

The group has steadily built a following through its music and performances, with Russu also gaining recognition for his songwriting and producing work.
