Tiana Green brings a ray of sunshine to the start of winter with her latest single, "Lagga Darling." It's a punchy, retro-infused love anthem, like getting hugged on a sunny afternoon in the days of artists past and a night yet to come.
An up-and-coming pop artist born in the U.S. and the Philippines, Tiana leans into her bicultural roots with smooth grace and groove. Written and recorded in Bacolod City, "Lagga Darling" draws from the vibrant hues of Filipino culture while casting nods toward beloved enablers from around the Globe. The title, "Langga," an Ilonggo word that translates to "darling" or "beloved," immediately establishes a mood of closeness and warmth, inviting you to a space where love is worn for all to see, happy and as is.
Back and forth, the song dances between a soundscape and a world. Glossed with 80s synth layers, whimsical basslines, and creamy multi-layered vocals akin to the golden ABBA era, Tiana packages this ethos in a clean and fresh OPM (Original Pilipino Music) vibe. The result is a catchy pop anthemic sound that undeniably feels good and is cross-generational. It's a slam dunk to entice classic pop and modern beats fans.
"Lagga Darling" hits emotionally. There's an honest sincerity in Tiana's voice, a quiet excitement that returns you to a time when the idea of love was pure and straightforward. You might or might not understand the language of Ilonggo, but it makes you feel the same in ways. That's the true beauty of this song, and it speaks a language of joy that does not require translation.
As a rising pop artist, she's not following a script so much as writing her own, one inspired by cultural pride, playful memories, and open-hearted connections to her roots. "Lagga Darling" is a love letter to tradition, a groove-laced homage to sweetness, and a taste of what's to come from the artist Tiana. If this is where her story begins, we're excited to see where the music takes her.
