Paradimyo's "Ligaya" Is Every Hopeless Romantic's New Anthem

In the world of OPM, the range of genres gets constantly bigger through time, as artists, old and new alike, explore different sound profiles throughout their respective careers. Paradimyo, an indie band based in Cavite, Philippines, takes what’s there to love about OPM and combines them in a beautiful arrangement called “Ligaya”.

Firstly, the opening sounds like something straight out of a coming-of-age film, not to mention it’s immediately ear-catching in general. It’s vibrant, from the guitar, to the bass line, and the vocals; it’s like revealing a whole, bright scenario of a cliché love story that everyone is bound to get into. Secondly, the lyrics are striking and relatable. The playful bargaining is evident in a situation that’s bound to fail. In the end, selflessness prevails.

“Ligaya” is a fresh, new entry in the absolute bangers category in OPM – the brightness in every second, every instrument, makes it somewhat timeless. It’s a perfect song for battle of the bands, for example, or just something for everyday jamming. We can anticipate the amount of replays from a mile away already, given that it gets the recognition it deserves. Its catchiness is truly unmatched, and it would definitely be an immediate recommendation to anyone.
