Rock band RadRed, formerly known as Jose Carlito band, has released its upbeat summer single “Mr. Sun” about the spark in one’s life that keeps everyone going.

The band’s frontman JC Padilla wrote and produced the song, released under ABS-CBN’s Star Music label.

“’Mr. Sun’ is about finding meaning in life and appreciating its beauty,” said Padilla. “It’s a call to the sun to shine on those who have fallen to help them forget their sadness.”

RadRed is a four-piece band composed of JC on vocals, Katsumi Kabe on guitars, JZ Lorenzo on bass and Bryan Tuazon on drums. Together they bring a modern flavor to the 90’s rock and 70’s blues rock. Previously, the band released the songs “Dystopia,” “At Kahit,” “Big White Wall,” Blankong Imahe” and many more.

The band decided to change its name to RadRed to represent “a bold departure from the norm and [convey] a powerful journey of personal or collective change,” combining the words “radical” and “redemption” into one.

“With this name, our band aims to create music that breaks boundaries, evokes strong emotions and inspires positive transformation,” said Padilla.

RadRed’s “Mr. Sun” is now available on various music streaming platforms.
