Filipino fan-favorite SB19 finally unveils the group’s debut full-length album, Get in the Zone, recently released at the tail-end of July across all digital platforms worldwide via Sony Music. Melding a wide range of music influences with top-tier production and global appeal, the nine-track release is comprised of six original compositions, along with the EDM version of “Love Goes” and two instrumentals.

Get in the Zone charts SB19’s creative and personal journey. In a statement, Sejun shares, “It hasn’t been long since we released our debut single ‘Tilaluha,’ but prior to that, we have been training for years already. We wanted to incorporate all the things that we have experienced during trainee days into this album by putting all the emotions that we went through into our music. It was an emotional rollercoaster, but we pulled through and we hope that we get to inspire people with our story.”

SB19’s first album kicks off chart-topping tracks “Alab” and “Go Up”, that ultimately shaped the group’s unparalleled celebrity. “Tilaluha,” a stripped-down ballad then tackles the complexities of romance, serving as a break from the album’s mostly upbeat repertoire.

Other songs include the R&B-infused “Love Goes,” its sequel, “Hanggang Sa Huli,” along with tracks “Wag Mong Ikunot Ang Iyong Noo,” which is a Filipino adaptation of the Korean ‘90s smash “Sarangeun Ya YaYa,” and an EDM remix, not to mention two bonus tracks.

When asked about the group’s creative process, Justin then shares, “In this album, we didn’t collaborate with any other artist. We also wrote the lyrics for all the songs ourselves, but we’ve worked with Korean Producers who have also worked with famous artists in Korea already. It was a different experience for each producer since they have different styles, but overall, everything was fun and exciting.”

Sejun continues, “It’s a great thing to get all the good traits from Korean and Philippine music/culture, and put them together into one. If you’ll dive deep into it, you’ll find a whole new sound rich in both cultures.”
