IV of Spades drops new single ‘Susundan,’ announces upcoming album

MANILA — Indie-alt group IV of Spades has released its newest single “Susundan.”

The brand new alt-pop track, which is a sincere but desperate take on romantic longing, is out now on all digital music platforms worldwide through Sony Music Entertainment, while its official video has been uploaded on the YouTube channel of IV of Spades.

“Susundan” is part of the band’s upcoming third studio album, “Tropical Dream,” which is set to be released on December 9. 

The song, written by Blaster Silonga and composed by IV of Spades, is about pursuing someone who’s so hard to reach. The easygoing sound with cruising vibe, blends retro sensibilities with ‘90s alt rock. 

“Susundan expresses the feeling of wanting to be close to someone, even when it seems impossible,” the band shared in a press statement.

“While we wanted to capture the humor and excitement of chasing after someone, we also want to acknowledge the vulnerability that comes with putting your feelings out there. The song serves as a reminder that love can be both exhilarating and unpredictable, and sometimes, you have to learn when to let go,” the group added.

“Susundan” follows the group’s single “Rollercoaster,” which was released early last month.

Formed in 2014, IV of Spades composed of Zild Benitez, Blaster Silonga, Badjao De Castro, and Unique Salonga is known for the hits “Mundo” and “Kabisado.”
