“It's the realization of a vision. A er my ‘X Factor’ 2012 stint, the dream was always to go international. And now, I get to release this,” KZ Tandingan shares.

The edgy, full-of-soul singer has just dropped a new single, intriguingly called “11:59,” set for international release through ABS-CBN’s US-based label, Tarsier Records.

Grammy-nominated producer Luigie Gonzales, Paulino Lorenzo, and Idrise Ward-El produced KZ’s first international single. The release is in line with ABS-CBN’s goal to showcase Filipino artists on the world stage.

KZ admits she felt nervous recording in a new environment.

“I was working with a Grammynominated artist, I didn't want to disappoint him.”

Known for her edgy and authentic sound, soulful delivery and exceptional vocals, the “X Factor Philippines” season one grand winner first went international when she joined China’s singing competition “Singer 2018,” where her performances went viral.

“11:59” is now out on music streaming platforms worldwide.
