In a Facebook Live set on November 10, 2023, Friday, Jong Azores invites his listeners to a listening party with those who have heard his single Ibang Klase over Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and the likes at 1 PM PST. Billed as From Play To Say: Ibang Klase Listening and Open Discussion, this event also marks the release date of the single.
This will be an intimate discussion as the artist opens himself to anyone for an evaluation of his work. As a Do-It-Yourself (DIY) singer/songwriter, he doesn’t have the convenience of signed artists who are focused on their craft. The honest comments from listeners will define his direction and move him forward.
Ibang Klase is a ballad that resonates with the raw anguish and bitterness of a man left shattered by love’s cruel twist. One who faithfully clung to his promises, nurturing dreams of a life together, raising a family, and sustaining the hope of harmonious coexistence However, just as he’s poised to breathe life into their shared dream, his beloved’s heart wanders toward another. In a heartbreaking twist of fate, the expression “Ibang Klase (A Different Kind)” weaves itself into a haunting melody, infusing the song with poignant harmonies that paint the canvas of heartbreak.
A YouTube short, Your Voice, Your Impact, capsulizes the event as a focus group discussion (FGD) and hopes to entice new listeners who will contribute their honest opinions to Jongs’s work.
