Off The Record and Sony Music Entertainment Philippines have unveiled ‘Aminin / Sabihin’, the latest offering from rising singer-songwriter John Sam, a Taguig-based artist known for turning quiet heartbreak into cinematic songcraft.
The indie alternative track captures the ache of loving a friend from a distance — where silence feels safer than honesty, and the moment for truth slips away too soon. With lyrics soaked in longing and melodies that feel like slow sunsets, ‘Aminin / Sabihin’ paints the pause between wanting to speak and choosing not to.
"It’s about when you finally have the words, but they arrive too late," the artist shares via press release. The track holds that tender in-between — where unsaid feelings echo louder than words.
John Sam broke through with ‘Hunyo ’97’, which earned spots on New Music Friday, OPM Rising, and Tatak Pinoy. He’s quickly become one of the emerging voices shaping today’s wave of heartfelt OPM — crafting songs that feel like pages torn from your old journals, or memories you replay on loop.
For fans of soft confessionals and slow-burn melodies, ‘Aminin / Sabihin’ is a quiet gut punch you won’t want to miss.
