#bagets

The music video was really fun to make. The footage is from a 1980s Filipino rom-com called “Bagets.” It’s a fun coming-of-age movie about about youth  and friendship. I remember watching reruns of this movie when I was a kid. I always loved the colors and the imagery (check out those pastels! I recently saw the movie again and I got inspired to edit it down to a short visual montage to accompany the song. I hope it’s a fun watch!

“Everything Felt Right” is about those magical moments when you’re in the right place at the right time. The production is inspired by my love for tropical dance music (dembow, dancehall, etc… remember “Gasolina”?). Growing up in a tropical country like the Philippines, I’ve had a strong affinity for music coming out of the tropics and I wanted to incorporate that into this song. It’s also been a minute since I last sang in my own productions (I think the last one was “So Many Things to tell You”); and though I’ve always felt a little shy recording my own voice, for this song it felt right ❤
