The much-anticipated collaboration between Paham and dwta finally arrived with the release of their heartfelt single, Huling Liham. This emotional track delivered on its promise to explore themes of love, loss, and closure, combining Paham’s indie/alternative rock sound with dwta’s unique Bicolano artistry.

Paham, an indie/alternative rock band comprising Cymon (rhythm guitar), James (lead guitar and vocals), Kian (keyboards and vocals), Yuan (bass), and Ryen (drums), has captured hearts with their heartfelt compositions. Starting out as a school band, they’ve evolved into one of the most promising acts in the local music scene. Tracks like Hiraya, Lakbay, and Akin have earned them placements on Spotify’s Viral 50, Viral Hits, and other esteemed playlists such as OPM Rising, Pinoy Indie Mix, New Music Friday, and OPM Chillax. Known for crafting beautiful harana-inspired songs, Paham’s music resonates deeply with listeners, blending heartfelt narratives with timeless and contemporary melodies.

On the other hand, dwta, one of OPM’s rising stars, has been making waves with her soulful storytelling and innovative approach to songwriting. Her ability to infuse personal experiences and regional artistry into her music has quickly set her apart in the industry. This collaboration with Paham feels like a match made in heaven, as their shared passion for meaningful and heartfelt music comes alive in Huling Liham. With dwta’s emotive Bicolano verses adding depth and texture to the song, the track achieves a rare balance of nostalgia and innovation, celebrating regional roots while appealing to mainstream audiences.

Huling Liham (Last Letter) brings together slow pop, alternative rock, and kundiman-inspired melodies to tell a tender story of love and closure. The track paints an intimate portrait of the rise and fall of a love story, with Paham’s artistry complementing dwta’s soulful touch. Released just in time for the holiday season, Huling Liham offers a fresh and introspective break from traditional Christmas tunes. Its warm, reflective vibe makes it the perfect companion for cozy nights and heartfelt moments of introspection.

As Paham’s first major artist collaboration, Huling Liham marks a significant milestone for the band and paves the way for their highly anticipated 12-track album, set to release in January 2025. This collaboration not only closed an incredible year for the band but also set a high bar for what’s to come in the new year.

Huling Liham is now available on all major streaming platforms.
