Global boy group Hori7on (Vinci, Kim, Kyler, Reyster, Winston, Jeromy, Marcus) officially released their highly anticipated single, “SUMAYAW SUMUNOD” last August 13. The new track, now available on major streaming platforms, has already started making waves.
This new release is a modern take on the 1978 hit by The Boyfriends, a beloved track in the Philippines. Embracing the global retro trend, Hori7on has reimagined the classic as an electro dance anthem with a vibrant jersey club beat, giving it a fresh and energetic spin, making it their own. Their latest release highlights their impressive teamwork and musical evolution, marking a standout moment in their summer comeback.
“SUMAYAW SUMUNOD” Highlights Filipino Spirit and Cultural Fusion, Set to Make Its Mark on Korean Music Shows.
The song, which blends Korean and Tagalog lyrics with active participation from the members—Marcus contributing to the Tagalog and English lyrics and Reyster handling the rapping parts—showcases the vibrant spirit of the Filipino people, according to Vinci. “We wanted to show the Filipino joy and energy, that warm energy that Filipinos naturally have, and with this remake of “Sumayaw Sumunod”, I think this encapsulates that type of energy”.
This track, which will be featured on Korean music shows, marks the first instance of a song with Tagalog lyrics or words being performed in this context. Much like the original, the goal is for people worldwide to be able to dance and sing along to this version. They noted that the dance steps were choreographed to be easy for fans to follow, allowing everyone to join in and dance effortlessly.
Inside Hori7on’s Creative Process: From Campus Fun to Vocal Challenges
Creating a memorable music video is no easy feat, but when everything falls into place, the experience can be nothing short of exhilarating. This was precisely the case for Hori7on’s recent project, who shared their insights into the creative process behind their latest video.
Marcus described the experience with palpable enthusiasm: “This is the most enjoyable music video to shoot and to really work on because it happened so naturally, and the scenes were adding up well. We were running around the campus, and we were able to play different sports.” His excitement reflects the effortless synergy that characterized the filming, making the process not only productive but also immensely fun.
Vinci highlighted the challenges of this comeback, particularly the complex vocal techniques required. “Even during recording, The Boyfriends had a Bee Gees-like falsetto. It was hard for us and required many retakes,” Vinci explained. Despite this difficulty, Vinci found the exploration of new soundscapes rewarding. “Exploring that soundscape was very interesting,” he noted. “As artists, we want to explore different styles and genres.” This commitment to innovation reflects their dedication to pushing creative boundaries.
Their reflections offer a glimpse into the dynamic and multifaceted nature of producing a song and music video. From the sheer enjoyment of filming to the technical challenges of achieving a specific sound, their experiences highlight the diverse elements that contribute to the success of a musical project.
