Paolo Sandejas drops highly anticipated EP 'Bloom'

Paolo Sandejas is here for your healing journey.

His six-track EP “Bloom” paints a vivid picture of the moment after a breakup when you finally pick yourself up and move forward.

The song of the same name opens with the artist painting a picture of a long, cold winter—a metaphor for the pain and sorrow that comes after a relationship ends. But just as winter gives way to spring, Paolo finds his way out of the darkness and begins to glow.

According to the singer-songwriter, he started writing the song “Bloom” with the instrumental, which he said is very bright and hopeful. It captures the complex emotions that come with heartbreak and the journey toward healing.

“It sounded so bright and hopeful so I wanted to match that with lyrics rooted in the same theme," Paolo said. "I also wanted to console people who may be stuck looking back on what once was and encourage them to look forward… and bloom.”

The EP shows the essence of human emotions and experiences. Also included are Paolo’s past singles “Different Shade Of Blue,” “Hide & Seek,” “Liquid Courage,” “BORED? (hope you’re happy),” and “Aftertaste” which features Tala.

“Bloom” has become part of numerous Spotify Playlists such as Tatak Pinoy, RADAR Philippines, Situationship, Happy Stroll, .ORG, and OPM Rising. The song is also part of the New Music Friday Playlist in the Philippines, Japan, Malaysia, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Indonesia.

Paolo is also one of the chosen OPM acts for Spotify Philippines’ RADAR Artists of 2023. He’s also doing a busking tour with fellow artists for the EP. —Nika Roque/JCB, GMA Integrated News
