Renowned reggae collective from Pampanga Chocolate Factory has joined forces with singer-songwriter JROA for a highly anticipated new single entitled “Tonight.” 

This fresh collaboration finds the signature grooves of Chocolate Factory blending with JRoa’s R&B-influenced style.

Lyrically, “Tonight” is a love song, and its vibrant and smooth melodic flow delivers a feel-good anthem set to capture the hearts of fans across the music scene. Known for his warm, expressive, velvety-toned vocals, JRoa perfectly complements the distinct silky and rich vocals of Chocolate Factory frontman Anthony Pangilinan. 

While Chocolate Factory has long been celebrated for their infectious, dance-worthy reggae hit singles, they have slowed down the tempo in this collaboration, creating a more intimate vibe along with partnering up with JRoa, who has brought his unique voice and emotionally resonant songwriting to the table.

With their high proficiency and mastery in playing their instruments along with undeniable charisma and stage presence, it is the perfect combination to match their dance-infusing anthems. Their original songs “Kung Ika’y Akin,” “Ilalim,” “Letra,” “Sexy Lady,” and ” One Love” became a phenomenon and, later on, were aired to radio stations, which resulted in Chocolate Factory’s accelerated stardom.

From gig to gig, they manage to win the hearts of the people and continually soar high to reach the goal of becoming one of the best musicians in the country.
