DNA debuts with self-titled album

Promising Kapamilya P-pop group DNA puts self-expression and resilience at the forefront in their newly dropped self-titled debut album under ABS-CBN’s StarPop label. It is available on all digital streaming platforms.

The trio, made up of sisters Julia, Tasha, and Ezri Mitra, takes listeners through different emotions and experiences: from self-confidence and friendship to love, anxiety, and personal growth.

“DNA as an album, there’s a lot of variety in it. It’s us exploring and experimenting to find what our sound is. It’s something everyone can relate to because everyone has a time in their life when they’re still figuring themselves out,” DNA shared during their album showcase.

The album features eight tracks: “DNA,” “Don’t Ask Me Why,” “Spider,” “Speeding Ticket,” “Lessons,” “BINGO,” “Glow Up Diary,” and “Gala To The Max” with all members contributing to conceptualizing and writing the tracks. Their aunt, Asia’s Songbird Regine Velasquez-Alcasid, produced the track “Glow Up Diary.”

Serving as the album’s key track, “Spider” explores the quiet battles many people face within themselves, touching on overwhelming thoughts and the hope of finding light even in life’s darkest moments. ABS-CBN Music creatives, content, and operations head Jonathan Manalo produced and co-wrote the song with Robertò Pereña.

DNA first stepped into the scene late last year with the anthem “Don’t Ask Me Why,” which has earned more than 100,000 Spotify streams and was featured in the iWant original series “Miss Behave.” The group followed it up with the feel-good single “BINGO” and later lent their voices to the official SM Supermalls’ summer anthem, “Gala To The Max,” further showcasing their versatility and credibility as performers.
