While Ang Bandang Shirley’s “Favorite” is a charming record wrapped in pure pop perfection on the surface level, from the inside, it reveals a realm of possibilities that none of its size and sparkle could limit. Whether it’s an anti-love song from the perspective of a heartbreaker or a 9-minute epic that excavates wounded feelings, Ang Bandang Shirley harnesses uncomfortably familiar experiences with wisdom beyond years.
