Miguel Odron racks up another accomplishment as his latest song release under ABS-CBN Music International (AMI) “Weed” earned favorable features on different music platforms in Asia.

"Weed," a captivating stripped record where the former “Idol Philippines” finalist bared his raw emotions towards his first heartbreak, was featured on Apple Music’s “Original Pilipino Music” section and included in the music streaming site’s “Absolute OPM” playlist.

The relatable single also secured a spot in Spotify’s “New Music Friday” playlists in the Philippines and in India, and was also included in YouTube Music’s “SEA Fresh” playlist.

JOOX, a music streaming app in Asian markets such as Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, and Thailand as well as the South African market, also featured the song in its “Fresh Indie Global” and “Latest Arrival” playlists.

Meanwhile, fans further validated the song’s fresh and honest depiction of heartache as seen on their comments on the song’s lyric video on YouTube. “What a marvelous artistry in music. Great Job Gue, congratulations,” Helen Gerardino said.

“It's like a beautifully written poem,” Rovic Rey Coloso remarked. “Imagine listening to this late at night while it's raining outside,” Ace Vee commented.

Miguel’s latest offering follows the success of his debut single “Chevy Cruze,” which was also well-received across Asia, got editorial playlist inclusions in different regions, and currently has more than 550,000 streams on Spotify.

He is just one of the fresh talents under ABS-CBN Music International, ABS-CBN’s music label that seeks to make known the exceptional artistry of Filipinos to global audiences.
