WHEN I'M WITH YOU: 5 Fun Facts About BLACKPINK Lisa's New Single & MV With Tyla
The music video premiered last Friday (16th May) and has already surpassed 5 million views on YouTube. To celebrate this impressive milestone, let's take a closer look at the song and the visuals that brought it to life.
1. The MV featured the Bose × Lisa Ultra Open Earbuds collab
In case you missed it, Lisa has partnered with tech brand Bose for a limited-edition release of the Ultra Open Earbuds collection. The product makes an appearance at the start of the music video, where the idol is seen putting them on just as the song begins to play.
2. It is Lisa's 3rd single with a featured artist
Following the release of her debut single 'ROCKSTAR' from the 'Alter Ego' album, Lisa has dropped five additional singles, two of which are collaborations. She previously teamed up with Rosalía on 'New Woman' and with Doja Cat and RAYE on 'BORN AGAIN'. Her latest track, 'WHEN I'M WITH YOU' featuring Tyla, marks her third collaborative single to date.
3. It was filmed at the iconic Paramour Estate
If you think the filming location looked familiar, it's because it is. Paramour Estate, also known as the Canfield-Moreno Estate, is a historic residence situated in the Moreno Highlands neighbourhood of Silver Lake, Los Angeles, California. The location rose to prominence once again after the legendary Britney Spears filmed the music video for her 2004 hit 'My Prerogative' — a cover of Bobby Brown's original track.
4. The MV had several star cameos
Lisa and Tyla's new music video features a handful of special appearances. In addition to actor Mason Gooding, spotted shirtless next to the BLACKPINK member, 'Love Island USA' couple Leah Kateb and Miguel Harichi also make a cameo, seen leaving the villa for a romantic poolside date night.
5. It was directed by Olivia De Camps
If you're unfamiliar with Olivia De Camps, then you might be familiar with her work. She's the mastermind behind multiple music videos and short films, including Rebecca Black's 'Trust' and 'Salvation', Marina's 'CUNTISSIMO', and our very own Yuna's 'I'll Show You'.

This is a 'Sweet Spot' - Singapore-based Matilde G drops the summer's most irresistible pop surprise for music fans
Matilde G, the 20-year-old pop singer, songwriter, and performer originally from Italy, now based in Singapore, has unleashed her new single, "Sweet Spot," which is expected to be a big hit for the summer. Distributed by Sony Music, the song's catchy theme from the singer reads: " A moonlit spark. A tidal pull. A pop anthem you'll crave all season long. " The song, which officially arrived on July 18 but will be released worldwide on Friday (July 25), has already garnered more than half a million hits on YouTube and is also soaring in other online media networks. With this new single, distributed by Sony Music, Matilde G takes us to that magical moment when two people lock eyes and everything else disappears. Inspired by the night she met her boyfriend under a full moon, Sweet Spot is a lush, intoxicating track that pulses with attraction, confidence, and sonic heat. From the opening lines 'Saturday night / Met you under the full moon light,' you're transported into a world where desire glows like neon and the beat moves like warm waves. Produced by Julian Feifel and written by Matilde G with Shayna Zaid and Feifel himself, Sweet Spot blends smooth afropop grooves with glossy pop textures. It's rhythmic, sexy, and completely addictive, the kind of song that plays in your head long after the music stops. Matilde's voice dances between English and Italian, slipping in the sultry line 'Mi fai impazzire' ('you drive me crazy') with the ease of someone completely lost in the moment. There's vulnerability here, but also power, the sound of a young woman who knows exactly what she wants. 'This song is my favourite kind of memory,' Matilde says. 'Real, unexpected, and electric. I wanted to make a track that felt like falling, into love, into rhythm, into someone's arms.' A BOUT MATILDE G At just 20, Matilde G is crafting a world-class pop career from Singapore, with Italian roots and an international fanbase. With over 30 million global streams, over 500 ,000 followers, and performances across Asia, Europe, the Middle East, the U S , and Latin America, currently, she's more than an artist, she's a movement. Her fandom — the MGs — is spreading from TikTok to every major platform. Her music, often born from deeply personal experiences, blends honesty with boldness, creating songs that connect instantly. She's sung about resilience, mental disorders, heartbreak, and now, with Sweet Spot, she opens a new chapter: pleasure, presence, and the power of a glance. -- Additional info on Matilde G - from Sony Music

Sabah guitarist rebuilds his life, one song and stage at a time.
WHEN the pandemic struck, everything stopped for self-taught guitarist Cristopher Aban – the gigs, the hotel crowds, the competitions, and eventually, even his ability to hold on to his prized instruments. To keep his wife, daughter, and pet dog safe and fed, he made the heartbreaking decision to sell almost all his guitars – the very tools of his trade and passion. 'It was the darkest time of my life,' said Cristopher, 37. 'I didn't know if I would ever perform again. But I knew I had to survive. I had to protect my family.' Slowly, he began to rebuild – picking up small gigs, borrowing instruments when he could, and finding his way back to the stage one performance at a time. It wasn't just his career he had to restore – it was his confidence, too. Today, Cristopher is back on stage – not just playing but now attempting something that once terrified him: writing original music. 'Songwriting is not my repertoire, but I'm challenging myself,' he said. 'My next goal is to release a single. Not just instrumentals – but something that tells a story.' Born and raised in Sandakan, a coastal town in eastern Sabah about 300km northeast of Kota Kinabalu, Cristopher first picked up the guitar at the age of nine. With no formal training, he taught himself through YouTube videos, trial and error, and the early guidance of his brother. 'I cried a lot when people laughed at me,' he recalled. 'My fingers were too short to play some chords, and I almost gave up. But my brother told me not to quit. So I just kept playing.' That journey of frustration and persistence eventually blossomed into a lifelong pursuit of excellence. Over the years, Cristopher developed his own unique fingerstyle jazz approach – taking him from his bedroom to national competitions and international stages. His early breakthrough came in 2003 when he placed first runner-up at the Bunyi Guitar Festival at Dewan Istana Budaya in Kuala Lumpur. He later clinched the title at the Tommy Emmanuel Get Inspired Fingerstyle Competition in 2010 and went on to win the Borneo International Guitar Festival in Kota Kinabalu in 2013. He was a finalist on RTM2's Bakat TV, has performed on Astro's Muzik Ekstra, and appeared at major events such as the World Youth Jazz Festival in Putrajaya, KK Jazz Festival (2018), and Sepilok Jazz in Sandakan. 'Each performance taught me something new,' he said. 'About myself, the craft, and the audience.' From 2013 to 2019, he was the resident performer at Four Points by Sheraton Sandakan, regularly entertaining hotel guests and at private events. By 2020, Cristopher's calendar was packed with events and performances. Then Covid-19 hit – and the silence that followed was deafening. 'All jobs were cancelled. There were no performances, no events. We didn't know when things would return.' To make ends meet, Cristopher took on odd jobs and eventually had to part with his guitars – each one a piece of his identity. 'But my wife never gave up on me. She supported me emotionally, spiritually. My daughter gave me the strength to push on. I owe everything to them.' Cristopher is now working on his first lyrical single – a new chapter after two instrumental albums, The Pedestrian and A Stage, A Guitar and a Song, co-produced with Japanese fingerstyle guitarist Yuta Tanaka between 2014 and 2015. 'These titles represent my journey,' he said. 'I'm a pedestrian. I take things one step at a time, one stage at a time.' He continues to perform at local showcases and festivals, including Rhythm of Rimba in Sandakan, and is more focused than ever on telling stories through music. Beyond the personal comeback, Cristopher has a bigger vision – not just for himself, but for his hometown's music scene. 'I hope to become more successful and to bring more colour to the music industry in Sandakan,' he said. 'I also hope more Sandakanians will appreciate acoustic fingerstyle guitar music.' Having already checked off some dream stages like the World Youth Jazz Fest in Putrajaya (2014) and the KK Jazz Festival (2018), he now sets his sights even higher. 'One of my dreams is to be able to perform on a bigger stage,' he said. 'It's on my bucket list – and I believe it's possible.' 'I'm not chasing fame. I just want to tell my story, and maybe help someone else feel less alone,' he said. 'Music gave me everything – now I hope it can give something to others, too.'

Still Ticking, Still Diving: Seiko's Diver Hits The Big 6-0
Subscribe to our FREE You know, 60 years is a lifetime… and quite a milestone. Back in 1965, the world was changing fast. Malaysia was heading into a decade of independence. The first commercial satellite had just gone into orbit. The Beatles were rewriting the music scene, miniskirts were flipping fashion on its head. And in Japan, something quieter but just as revolutionary was rising to the surface. (Credit: tawatchai07/freepik) That year, Seiko introduced Japan's first professional diver's watch built for one purpose: survival . Because, when you're deep underwater, a watch isn't just for telling the time. It tells you when to surface. When to breathe. When to live. The original,1965 and 1968 diver's watches, the 62MAS. Complete with automatic mechanical movement and 150m water resistance. Fast-forward to 2025, and Seiko's Prospex line is marking its 60th anniversary not just by looking back at its deep-sea legacy, but by diving headfirst into the future. The Letter That Changed Everything Seiko's longstanding legacy in the seas, believe it or not, started with a simple letter. As the story goes, a diver from Hiroshima wrote to Seiko, saying that most watches just couldn't survive a saturation dive—a kind of deep-sea mission where divers live in pressurised environments for days or weeks. See, helium gas would slip past the seals, build up inside the watch case, and eventually blow the glass clean off. Which, you know, is not great when you're hundreds of metres underwater. (Credit: freepik) Now, Seiko didn't just ignore him. They did what few brands would: they listened and then they went to work. After years of research, they unveiled the world's first 600m professional diver's watch with a titanium case. It was lighter, stronger, smarter. A watch that didn't just handle the pressure, it mastered it. A Legacy Forged in the Deep Now, Seiko's dive watches didn't just tell the time, they defied it. They went places. Cold, high, and impossibly deep places. In 1966, their first diver's watch joined four Antarctic expeditions. By 1970, one was strapped to the wrist of the first Japanese climber to summit Everest. (Credit: In 1983, Seiko watches dove with Japan's Shinkai 2000 submersible to depths of 1,062 metres, far beyond their official 600m rating. Then in 2015, Seiko's 1,000m saturation divers were sent on a mission with Kaiko 7000 II, a remote submersible, where they hit over 3,000 metres deep, and the watches still kept ticking. (Credit: Seiko Prospex – Marinemaster 1000m Depth testing 2015/YouTube) Now Surfacing: The 2025 Marinemaster SLA081 To celebrate 60 years of conquering the deep, Seiko's diving back in… literally. Their Prospex line (short for Professional Specifications) is going back to its roots with the release of the Seiko Prospex Marinemaster Professional, SLA081. Now, this watch isn't meant to be just a tribute piece. It's a modern masterpiece made to be worn in style. Inside you'll find the Calibre 8L45, a premium mechanical movement with 72 hours of power reserve and elite-level accuracy. Its components are made from Spron—a proprietary Seiko alloy that resists breakage, corrosion, and wear. Outside, a one-piece titanium case rated to 600m, built tough without needing a helium escape valve, thanks to Seiko's unique L-shaped gasket. It's a quiet flex referencing their game-changing 1975 model, complete with the word 'PROFESSIONAL' inscribed on the dial. The dial itself is a rich, ocean-deep gradient of blue, inspired by shinkai , the Japanese word for 'deep sea.' And it's finished with glossy textures and raised, wavy markers, making it a dashing looker. And if you want one, you'll have to move fast. Only 600 pieces will be made, launching in July 2025. One of them is already headed to the Arctic on JAMSTEC's (Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology) latest research mission. Vintage Spirit, Modern Masterpieces Also joining the 60th anniversary lineup are two more limited editions, each drawing from different moments in Seiko's diving history. First up, the SPB511, Seiko Prospex 1965 Heritage Diver's Watch. A tribute to the 1965 original. It comes with a clean silver dial, modern Calibre 6R55 movement, and a 72-hour power reserve. Its 300m water resistance is a nod to how far we've come since the original's 150m rating. Then there's the Seiko Prospex 1968 Heritage Diver's GMT Watch, SPB509. Inspired by its bold predecessor. This one adds a GMT complication, powered by Calibre 6R54, with an independently adjustable 24-hour hand that's perfect for those tracking multiple time zones. The blue dial, with its wave motif, pays homage to the signature Prospex feel. Both models are limited to 6,000 pieces each and feature upgraded bracelets with adjustable clasps that can be tweaked on the go. 60 Years, Still Making Waves The world has changed a lot since 1965. But Seiko's core values of precision, resilience, and purpose have stayed remarkably consistent. Because some things don't get old. They just get better.
