Spotlight: Kolette—From PBB Favorite to Pop Force on the Rise

When Kolette Madelo stepped into the public eye as a housemate on Pinoy Big Brother: Gen 11, she was instantly magnetic—a mix of sincerity, hustle, and a sharp sense of humor that won over both fans and fellow housemates. But even then, there was something different about her. Kolette wasn’t there just for fame—she had a plan, and music was always part of it.

Fast forward to June 2025, and that vision is manifesting loud and clear.

🌟 The Breakout

After her impressive run on PBB, Kolette signed with ABS-CBN’s talent and music arm, bringing her creative spark into the studio and shifting her focus from reality TV to rhythm and lyrics. But she didn’t just want to record—she wanted to speak. To move. To say something that would last beyond a social media trend.

And now? She’s doing exactly that.

Kolette—SAYAW-EP

💿 The Debut: SAYAW

Her debut solo EP, SAYAW—released June 1, 2025, under ABS-CBN Film Productions—is a five-track introduction to Kolette’s artistry, heart, and hustle. Pronounced “sah-YOW,” the word means “dance” in Tagalog, but this isn’t just a party record. It’s a carefully crafted journey.

The tracklist reads like a diary set to rhythm:

• “Galaw Galaw” opens the EP with fire—upbeat, unshy, and made to move.

• “SAYAW” follows as the title track—slick and bold, with an undercurrent of confidence and control.

• “Keep Up” leans into swagger, pushing back on doubt with style.

• “Sasamahan Ka (Araw-Araw)” slows things down—a love letter layered in tenderness.

• “Our Love Is Gone” closes the set with a heartbreak anthem full of clarity and closure.

Sonically, it’s pop-forward with touches of R&B, synth, and island flavor—but more than that, it’s personal.

🗣️ The Message Behind the Music

In recent interviews, Kolette has shared that SAYAW is more than just an invitation to dance—it’s a metaphor for resilience. Every beat is a step. Every track, a movement through emotion, evolution, and empowerment. It’s about learning to stay in motion, even when life pulls you back.

She’s spoken candidly about the hard work behind the scenes—the challenges of stepping into a solo spotlight, the pressure to prove herself post-PBB, and the emotional weight of turning lived experience into lyrics. But for Kolette, that’s the mission: music that means something, that feels like truth.

🚀 What’s Next for Kolette?

Don’t expect her to slow down. Kolette is teasing upcoming live performances, solo events, and even more music on the way. With momentum like this—and a debut project this polished—she’s not just testing the waters. She’s swimming full speed into pop’s next wave.

🧠 Why She Matters

Kolette represents the new era of P-Pop—grounded in realness, backed by hustle, and unafraid to be multidimensional. She’s not trying to fit the mold. She’s building a lane. One where story meets sound, and every release is a step forward.
