Silakbo (lit. 'Outburst') is the debut album of Filipino pop rock band Cup of Joe. It was released on January 17, 2025, under Viva Records.
Background and release
Following the released of their EP Patutunguhan (2023), which introduced songs like "Estranghero" (Stranger) and "Tingin" (Look) collaboration with Janine Teñoso, Filipino pop-rock band Cup of Joe began working on their first full-length studio album.[1] The band announced their debut studio album, Silakbo, in late 2024 and officially released on January 17, 2025, under Viva Records.[2][3]
The lead single, "Multo" (Ghost), was released ahead of the album on September 14, 2024.[4] To promote Silakbo, Cup of Joe held a two-night concert at the Araneta Coliseum on February 8 and 9, 2025, both of which sold out. A regional tour followed, with stops in Davao City (March 22), Cebu City (March 29), and their hometown of Baguio.[5][6]
Composition and lyrics
Silakbo is a concept album that journeys through the five stages of grief—denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance, as introduced by Swiss-American psychiatrist Elisabeth Kübler-Ross.[7][8] Each stage is represented by a pair of songs, reflecting the emotional highs and lows of healing and self-discovery. As explained in a Billboard Philippines track-by-track guide, the band used this structure to give listeners an immersive and cathartic experience.[5]
