Filipino-American Singer-Songwriter Labit Debuts First Album, "SOL," Dedicated to his grandmother, Solita, lovingly referred to as “Grandma Sol.” The album is a deeply felt meditation on roots, growth, and the small epiphanies that guide someone through life. Over 18 tracks, Labit makes intimate memories into widescreen storytelling, pairing honeyed vocals with golden analog textures that make his songs feel as timeless as they do vast.
The dreamy sounds of "MANGOES AND RICE" all the way through to the rich, reflective tones running throughout CLEANING OUT THE FRIDGE," featuring Emily Rowed, Labit’s diary-like lyrics all serve as an essential snapshot of everything from frivolous whimsy to genuine introspection. Throughout the record, "SOL" is an emotional centerpiece, a touching tribute to his grandmother, who weaves lightly into the album’s narrative through her spiritual guidance.
"SOL" feels lived-in but striking, a rare opposition that makes you feel as though you can walk straight into Labit’s world. It’s an album about reconciling the past while gracefully moving forward, and about finding clarity in love, family, and self. Labit himself described the record as a meditation on who raised him, what defined him, and how those have steered his next steps. The result is music that lingers, warm as something cooked in a family kitchen or echoing like a late-night conversation, leaving an impression long after the last note has evaporated.
