00:00Hello, we're here to break the norm, yeah, we're taking you by song.
00:03You should know who leads the game, it's F-I-L-I-P-I-N-A.
00:06Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the most impressive female bands making waves in the Pinoy pop world.
00:15La la la la la la la la la la la la la 5, 6, 7, 8, 8, 8, let's go!
00:22Number 10. Our Rules.
00:24This trio is uniquely placed in the P-pop sphere.
00:28The members, Risa, Ryo, and Ray, are Filipino-Japanese and perform in both languages in addition to English.
00:41They initially debuted in 2017 as the five-member Jaff Dolls alongside fellow performers Ruri and Rika.
00:52Rika left the group in 2019, and the foursome re-branded as Our Rules in 2021.
00:59However, in 2023, Ruri also departed.
01:03Despite so many changes, the core of Our Rules remained intact.
01:14Conceptually, the girls offer softness with an edge in their music,
01:18which is characterized by punchy rap and beautiful vocals.
01:21However, the lack of frequent releases may be disappointing for fans.
01:33Number 9. Dionne.
01:35From the company that brought us the impressive P-pop boy group First One,
01:39comes a girl band that was tailor-made for international appeal.
01:43Dionne aims to connect with listeners all over the world with their music.
01:47Drawing inspiration from artists like Taylor Swift and Blackpink,
01:59the group is known for embracing a fierce image.
02:02Musically, they have a knack for catchy hooks that are hard to get out of your head.
02:06From Bling Bling to Break You Down, Dionne's discography is crowd-pleasing in the best way.
02:20However, their end goal is to be relatable to fans by sharing their stories through their art.
02:25So far, we'd say they're succeeding.
02:31YGIG.
02:33Launched by Chung Songhan, the genius behind P-pop powerhouse SB19,
02:39this girl group is definitely one to look out for.
02:42YGIG, which stands for You Go, I Go, is brimming with potential.
02:46I wanna show you all that I've got.
02:49You gotta love you, baby.
02:51I wanna show you all of my love.
02:53Like SB19, the members are dedicated to becoming well-rounded performers.
02:58So it's no surprise that they are already coming up with concepts
03:02and even writing their own songs.
03:04Shabba, shabba, something is talking on my big honey.
03:08Say it now with me, shabba, shabba, ay, shabba.
03:13YGIG's self-written debut track, Shabba Shabba, was a massive success.
03:18And the group followed it up with mass appealing releases
03:20that expanded their presence in the industry.
03:22At this rate, it's only a matter of time before they go global.
03:30Number 7.
03:32Calista.
03:33Since debuting on Valentine's Day in 2022,
03:36this group has received immense love from fans.
03:39Over the years, Calista has grown in popularity.
03:42But more importantly, they've evolved artistically.
03:45Coming on like a wrist guard.
03:47Watch me vroom, vroom, vroom.
03:49Trying to catch us what we do for.
03:51Live life in the fast lane rock star.
03:53As rookies, they stuck to tried and true pop formulas that ensured success,
03:57but didn't really help them stand out.
03:59Now they're focused on creative expression,
04:02which comes through in tracks like Alice Dose and Oops My Bad.
04:06Not only have they found their own unique sound,
04:15but each member has also improved drastically in terms of skills.
04:19Calista might just be the dark horse of p-pop.
04:22In an industry as competitive as p-pop,
04:34resilience is key.
04:36That's a quality Yara has mastered.
04:38The members started as trainees under ShowBT Entertainment,
04:50but weren't able to debut.
04:51Without giving up, they participated in competition shows
04:54like Pinoy K-Pop Star and Pop Pinoy,
04:57the latter of which they won.
04:59By the time they debuted in 2023,
05:01they already had a fan base rallying behind them.
05:04Needless to say, they did not disappoint.
05:08Since then, Yara has consistently delivered high-quality music,
05:19staying true to their empowering concept
05:21while experimenting with genres like hip-hop,
05:23retro, R&B, and so on.
05:26It will be interesting to see where they go next.
