Pop rock band InnerVoices proudly unveils their latest Extended Play (EP) titled Shadows, an emotional collection produced under UMG Philippines Inc. in collaboration with Kalesa Entertainment.
The EP offers listeners an intimate glimpse into the many shades of love and loss, featuring three tracks written by Atty. Rey Bergado and arranged by Edward Mitra: Shadows – a haunting English ballad of heartbreak and lingering memory; Saksi Ang Mga Tala – a modern kundiman sung in Filipino, where the stars stand as silent witnesses to an undying love; and I Will Wait for You in the Rain – a poignant anthem of patience and resilience, celebrating a love that endures through life’s storms.
Blending heartfelt lyricism with cinematic arrangements, "Shadows" captures the full spectrum of human emotion—grief, devotion, and hope—while highlighting InnerVoices’ signature blend of pop-rock warmth and emotional depth.
“Each song in Shadows is a chapter of the same story,” shares Bergado, the band’s founding member. “Shadows is about heartbreak, Saksi Ang Mga Tala is about promises, and I Will Wait For You in the Rain is about hope. They belong together, and they reflect the many ways love shapes us."
Through this EP, InnerVoices continues to cement their place in the OPM landscape, bridging modern sound with timeless storytelling.
As of Oct. 20, InnerVoices has clinched the top spot on Vibe TV’s music countdown segment Uprising Universe with their latest single Sayaw sa Ilalim ng Buwan, while Saksi ang mga Tala remains in the running for the top position.
Garnering over 50 percent of fan votes, the track’s win highlights the band’s rising momentum and the unwavering support of their growing fanbase.
Their other new releases — Sayaw sa Ilalim ng Buwan, Meant to Be, Handa Na Kitang Mahalin, Galaw, Tubig Hangin Apoy Lupa, and Idlip — are now streaming on all major digital platforms. Each track showcases a different shade of the band’s evolving sound, blending heartfelt lyricism with their signature soulful rock energy.
Fans can also experience InnerVoices’s artistry visually through the official music videos for Meant to Be, Idlip, and Galaw, all available on YouTube. And for those craving the raw energy of the stage, a dose of InnerVoices’ live performances can be found on their official YouTube channel.

Known for their authentic sound and lively performances, InnerVoices continues to make their mark in the Manila live music scene. The band regularly performs at Hard Rock Café Makati, Hard Rock Café Manila, Bar IX, Aromata, and Noctos, bringing their pop-rock energy to both intimate and grand stages.
