Angela Ken Set to Release ‘Tayo Lang’ Ahead of ‘Panahon Na Natin’ Concert

Angela Ken is ready to turn a long-held dream into reality as she takes the stage for her biggest headlining concert yet, “Panahon Na Natin,” happening on October 18 at the New Frontier Theater.

For the singer-songwriter, the upcoming concert is more than a milestone in her career. It is a deeply personal celebration of her journey in music and a heartfelt way of giving back to the fans who have supported her through the years.

Music has always been a sanctuary for Ken, not only as a form of self-expression but also as a source of comfort for listeners navigating vulnerable moments in their lives. From her breakout song “Ako Naman Muna” to her soundtrack contributions for major television series, Ken has carved out a distinct space in the modern Original Pilipino Music scene with songs that resonate with audiences like a warm embrace.

During a recent media session, Ken opened up about her musical evolution, her deeply personal “Panahon” EP, her upcoming concert, and one of the most meaningful moments of her journey so far: receiving a heartfelt blessing from OPM icon Yeng Constantino.

Seven Years in the Making: ‘Tayo Lang’
Adding to the excitement surrounding her concert, Angela Ken is set to release her new single “Tayo Lang” on September 25, 2026, just weeks before she takes the stage for “Panahon Na Natin.”

Written when Ken was only 18 years old, the song represents a remarkable seven-year journey. What began as a piece of music from her younger years has now evolved into a release that carries even greater meaning for the singer.

Reflecting on the song’s long journey, Ken shared how time has allowed her to appreciate the track in a different way. Its release now marks another important chapter in her growth as an artist and songwriter, while giving her loyal fans, the “Angels,” a chance to hear a piece of her earliest musical roots.

“Tayo Lang” also serves as part of the buildup to “Panahon Na Natin,” where Ken promises an intimate concert experience that will feature some of her beloved songs, raw acoustic performances, and unreleased material.

Despite the excitement surrounding her biggest stage yet, Ken admits to feeling a mix of nerves and anticipation. More than simply entertaining her audience, she hopes the concert will become a safe and comforting space where people can connect, reflect, and find healing through music.

Following the success of “Ako Naman Muna” and the release of her “Panahon” EP, “Tayo Lang” offers fans a glimpse into the younger Ken, the songwriter who was already putting her thoughts and emotions into music years before she became one of OPM’s promising young voices.

A Blessing From an OPM Icon
Among the moments that have stayed with Ken throughout her journey is an unexpected encounter with one of her biggest musical inspirations, Yeng Constantino.

The moment happened backstage during a major concert at the Smart Araneta Coliseum, where Ken was set to perform alongside fellow songwriters MRLD, and Janine Berdin. Before taking the stage, she visited Constantino in her dressing room.

For Ken, stepping into the dressing room was an emotional experience in itself.

“Nung pumunta po ako sa dressing room niya, parang ‘yung batang ako na kumakanta lang sa kwarto, ’yon ’yung lumabas,” Ken recalled.

The two eventually shared a one-on-one prayer before Constantino went onstage. During that intimate moment, Constantino embraced Ken and delivered words that would leave a lasting impression on the young singer-songwriter:
“Kayo. Kayo na ’yung susunod.”

For Ken, hearing those words from an artist she had admired since childhood became a powerful affirmation of her journey.

“To be told that by Yeng Constantino is such a rare honor,” Ken shared. “It proved to me that even if the world turns its back on you, there is a fellow creator who believes in you, someone I trusted and looked up to since I was young.”

That moment became more than simply a compliment from an established artist. For Ken, it served as a reminder that her music has a place, her story is worth telling, and there are people in the industry who believe in what she can become.

‘Panahon Na Natin’
Now, Ken is ready to take another major step forward.

“Panahon Na Natin” represents years of growth, perseverance, songwriting, and the unwavering support of the people who have been part of her journey. It is a dream finally taking shape and a celebration shared with the fans who helped make that dream possible.
As she prepares to step onto the New Frontier Theater stage, Ken hopes to create a night that goes beyond a traditional concert: an intimate musical experience where stories are shared, emotions are embraced, and music becomes a space for connection.

With the release of “Tayo Lang” just around the corner and her biggest headlining show fast approaching, Angela Ken is entering a new chapter and indeed, perhaps, panahon na natin.
