Anak Ko

Melina Duterte records her sophomore effort during a period of significant personal change and a geographical relocation to Los Angeles. Named after a Tagalog phrase meaning 'my child', the album expands on her hazy dream-pop foundations by incorporating incredibly warm acoustic guitars, lush strings, and subtle 1990s alternative rock influences. It operates as a deeply mature, meticulously crafted reflection on patience and self-forgiveness.
