Looks like RnB songs are making a huge comeback as top hits list them all again in the Philippines. Recently, we had the chance to chat with MC Einstein (artist-songwriter, Ex-Batallion) and the Queen of RnB songs, KYLA at the Cornerstone Studios in Quezon City. They were both excited about this new single they did a duet of called “LAMBALAK”, which MC Einstein also wrote and released today.

The actual story of this was quite interesting. They had an out of town event where Yeng Constantino, MC Einstein and a couple of Cornerstone artists were supposed to go. On the day of the flight, Yeng got sick and was rushed to the hospital. They had to have another artist to sing at the event and got KYLA. At the plane, they were seated beside each other and at first, MC Einstein was a little nervous. When all was settled, he mustered up the courage to tell Kyla that he wanted to do a collaboration with her. He’s a big fan of that genre and grew up listening to Kyla’s songs, so he was just pushing his luck. Little did he know Kyla knew him too because she listened to his songs, and just said “Let’s go, when will we record?”.

MC Einstein was surprised at how receptive Kyla was. A few calls, going back and forth, he sent Kyla the chorus part of “LAMBALAK” where she only said “Okay so when will we record?!”. He was again excited because Kyla didn’t even ask for any change in the melody or lyrics, she was just happy to sing it the way MC Einstein wanted it to because Kyla said “It felt like I was listening to the RnB songs I used to sing, it felt like HOME!”.

Here’s the rest of our interview with them on video, please enjoy!

They will be releasing the song “LAMBALAK” today at 12am and will be doing a live stream on their platforms. Make sure you follow the individual artists pages and Cornerstone Entertainment for more updates about the single’s release. We listened to it and loved how sexy it sounded, seriously, you should give it a stream today!

Congratulations MC Einstein and Kyla! Hope this hits the charts today!
