Singer-songwriter Angela Ken bares her heart out as she holds on to love in her newly dropped single “baka bukas.”

“It’s a song for hopeless romantics but it can also be for the dreams we want to own, the unanswered prayers we want to claim and happen kasi malay mo baka bukas,” the Tarsier Records artist shared.

The pop-contemporary folk song captures the willingness to wait and cling on to the hope that love may come their way someday. It was composed by Angela and produced by Ken Ponce.

Angela released the “baka bukas” music video, available now on Tarsier Records YouTube, where she starred alongside Aljon Mendoza.

Angela opened the year with a collaboration with Over October for the song “Moved on Last,” which has already amassed over 300,000 streams and was featured on Spotify’s OPM Rising and Tatak Pinoy playlists.

Recently, Angela joined Maki’s “KOLORCOASTER: One More Ride” where they performed a duet version of “Sikulo.” She also made waves on the international stage as a performer at the 30th Asian Television Awards where she sang “Kulimlim.”

The Kapamilya artist debuted in 2021 with the breakout hit “Ako Naman Muna,” which has over 70 million streams on Spotify. The following year, she released her self-titled first album featuring the tracks like “Akala Maling Akala,” and “It’s Okay Not to Be Okay.” She further proved her songwriting and vocal prowess with singles like “Pwede Bang Mamaya?” “Alas-Diyes,” and many more.
