100 Awit Para Kay Stella, the much-awaited sequel to the 2017 romantic-drama 100 Tula Para Kay Stella, drops a star-studded soundtrack featuring songs mostly composed by Thyro Alfaro and performed by Rob Deniel, Kyle Echarri, Amiel Sol, and Shanne Dandan.
Set 15 years after the events of the first film, the story follows Stella (Bela Padilla), now a successful singles event organizer, crossing paths once again with Fidel (JC Santos). The two reconnect with their past love as a retreat from personal struggles and the pressures of the corporate world. But when rising artist Clyde (Echarri) enters Stella’s life, she and Fidel may not find the timing they’ve been waiting for.
Much like the film, the soundtrack focuses on themes of love, longing, and self-discovery. The soundtrack opens with “Simoy,” performed by Deniel, which focuses on a one-sided romance that’s risky and uncertain, with the willingness to go through a lot just to feel even a little bit of a special person’s presence.
Echarri joins Deniel for a duet in “Iisang Daan.” The track talks about someone having a hard time moving on, but eventually realizing that there is a way to move forward. What feels like a dead end actually leads to new paths.
The spotlight then shifts to Echarri’s character Clyde in the track “Nakaupo,” which explores conflicting emotions and the uncertainty within a relationship that appears secure on the outside. Clyde feels the pressure not to mess things up, with hopes of things remaining okay for a long time.
The journey continues with “Kumusta Na,” performed by Deniel, brings Stella and Fidel back together and asks how they’ve been. The song reflects on the memories that remain, while putting the past aside to simply check in on each other.
Another song performed by Echarri is “Lipstick Na Itim,” which portrays Fidel’s feelings for Stella. It was written by Fidel but sung by Clyde, who doesn’t know anything about their past.
Closing the soundtrack is Sol and Dandan’s heart-wrenching rendition of “Balisong,” originally by Rico Blanco. Their version reflects the longing and bittersweet reconnection between Stella and Fidel.
