Filipino all-girl trio NEW LORE have released their latest single, 'LOVING, HURTING,' a haunting synth-pop track that explores the raw intersection of joy and pain. Released under Off The Record and Sony Music Entertainment Philippines, the song blends emotional vulnerability with a cinematic, chaotic electropop sound.

At the heart of the track is Tita Halaman, a visual artist and vocalist known for turning heartbreak into poetry. Alongside bassist Kim Escalona and drummer Carole Lantican, NEW LORE crafts a tear-stained dancefloor confession that pulses with haunting loops and surreal melodies.
“This one’s for the kind of love that makes you feel full and fragile at the same time,” says Tita. “It’s about choosing to stay—knowing that when you love deeply, you’re always risking grief.”
With past releases featured on playlists like Fresh Finds Philippines and New Music Friday, 'LOVING, HURTING' signals a more daring emotional direction. To celebrate the release, NEW LORE invites fans to share artworks, journal entries, or photos inspired by the phrase “loving, hurting,” continuing their mission to merge music, art, and storytelling.
