Full Flood is the second studio album by the Filipino soul and R&B supergroup Apartel, released on October 3, 2018, through Offshore Music.

Music and lyrics

[edit]

The album features more contributions from vocalist Ely Buendia's bandmates. "We did it for us," he said. "The sound varies first of all because it’s not just me who wrote the songs. The whole band co-wrote it with me."[2] The album's sound has been described as being influenced by Manila Sound and Paul Weller's band The Style Council.[1]

Release

[edit]

The band released the first single from Full Flood, "Pateros", in June 2018.[3]

Offshore Music released Full Flood in October 2018. Mastered by Bernie Grundman,[4] it was later released on limited edition vinyl in June 2020.[5] A music video for the album's second single "Sisid" was premiered the following month.[6]

The band released a live performance video for "Pre-Loved" featuring Zia Quizon in October 2020.[7]
