Up-and-coming singer-songwriter and producer JEL REY navigates through complications of love\u2014from falling hard and wearing thin to letting go with grace and finding the courage to love again\u2014in his new extended play (EP), \u201cSouthbelle 517<\/a>,\u201d named after a memorable vacation.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cYung songs sa EP na \u2019to nabuo sa isang room kung saan ako nag-staycation sa Baguio, \u2018Southbelle 517.\u2019 Doon ako nagkaroon ng maraming ideas dahil tahimik yung lugar, walang pressure, kaya naging mas honest ako sa pagsusulat,\u201d the StarPop artist said.<\/p>\n

The alternative pop-rock EP features five heartfelt tracks\u2014\u201cAnghel,\u201d \u201cSariling Mundo,\u201d \u201cNakakapagod Lang (feat. Jarea),\u201d \u201cLapit-Layo,\u201d and \u201cGusto Kitang Pakasalan\u201d\u2014which were all written by JEL REY, who also co-produced the record alongside StarPop label head Roque \u201cRox\u201d Santos. Some of the selected tracks were co-written with Edsel Gabriel De Guzman.<\/p>\n

\u201cInspired siya ng mga panahong hindi ka okay, pero kailangan mo pa ring magpatuloy. Nandoon yung burnout, love na parang too good to be true, takot, pagdududa, at yung mabagal na realization na hindi lahat kailangang ipaglaban nang maingay,\u201d he shared.<\/p>\n

JEL REY first made waves with his debut single \u201chele pono\u201d in 2023, earning a nomination for Best Performance by a New Solo Artist at the 37th Awit Awards the following year.<\/p>\n

He followed up with his first EP, \u201cTERAPEWTIKA,\u201d featuring standout tracks like \u201cTayo (Ating Istorya)\u201d and \u201cNasa Alapaap Ang Paraluman.\u201d JEL REY continued to showcase his artistry through singles such as \u201cParapelikula\u201d and \u201cNaiilang,\u201d with the latter landing in Spotify Viral Songs Philippines\u2019 Top 10 and garnering over 480,000 streams.<\/p>\n
