Filipino indie singer-songwriter Ian Quiruz has released his newest single, “lumang kodak,” on September 11, 2026, marking his latest addition to his growing discography.
Quiruz announced the release on social media, encouraging listeners to watch out for more releases with the message, “Marami pang kasunod. Abangan! (There’s more to come. Stay tuned!).” Earlier this year, the indie artist released his singles “sa tuwing aalis ka” and “sinagtala,” as well as a collaboration with Marco Taniegra titled “Para Kay.”
His latest single paints a tender picture of romance through the lens of an inherited vintage camera, capturing a loved one’s beauty in every moment. Set against vintage guitar tones and Quiruz’s expressive vocals, the song describes a relationship built to last wherein the two’s countless photographs will fill the walls and preserve their memories together.
“lumang kodak” carries a distinctly nostalgic charm, using the familiar act of taking photographs as a manifestation of one’s feelings, holding on to the small, fleeting moments that make a relationship meaningful. With the track, Quiruz finds romance in simply being together and imagining a future shared with someone special, especially with the lyrics: “Halina’t magkasamang mangarap tuwinang.”
Exploring the intimate and simpler sides of love, Quiruz blends indie pop with a theatrical, emotive sound that gives his songwriting warmth. He released his studio album, SA PANAGINIP, in 2022, followed by the EP SA TINDAHAN, which features one of his best-known tracks, “tindahan ng mga alaala.”
In 2024, he released his eight-track sophomore album, SA KUBLIHAN, featuring another fan-favorite, “ang balikat at baywang.” With “lumang kodak,” Quiruz continues building a comforting, relatable body of work centered on love, identity, and the calm of everyday moments.
