After releasing an EP last year, singer-songwriter Barbie Almalbis has recently released the first single off her upcoming fourth album.
Barbie's latest single, which she co-wrote with her husband Martin Honasan last year, is titled Comment. The dreamy pop song tackles the couple's honest take on love at one present circumstance where social media has been its primary tool.

“My husband Martin and I started writing songs together last year, and Comment is one of the songs that came out of that,” shared Almalbis. “We were thinking about how much social media has changed the way we interact with each other, and the song is a kind of love story inspired by that, and also by our friends who post about their plants on Instagram.”
Barbie' Almalbis said the song, Comment, was recorded at Yellow Room Studios – formerly known as Tracks Studios – in San Antonio Village, Ortigas, Pasig City, with Magic Montano as its sound engineer. It was the same recording studio where the singer-songwriter made most of the albums of her former band, Barbie's Cradle. Meanwhile, producing the song was made similarly to her recent record.
“Similar to the songs from the recent EP, Tigre, the main rhythm section was recorded live, then we had a few additional guitars and piano layers, then vocals,” said the pop-rock icon.
With its atmospheric soundscapes and intricate arrangements, “Comment” showcases Almalbis’ more sonically adventurous side—her love for textures and dynamics, her penchant for little surprises. It’s abundantly clear that the acclaimed artist behind hits such as “Tabing Ilog,” “Money For Food,” and “Ambon” is insistent to defy expectations and come up with something new.
Comment was released last 31 January 2020 on various streaming platforms. The music video debuted within the day. The singer-songwriter revealed how they made this visual accompaniment in such a savvy manner.
“The music video was done as an Instagram Story,” Almalbis adds. “We shot it at the Gardens of Versailles while in France for Martin’s exhibit last October.”
Barbie Almalbis' latest single Comment is now out on various streaming and download platforms worldwide via 12 Stone Records. Meanwhile, details of her upcoming album have yet to be revealed; but it is expected to be out this year.
