Just a few days ahead of an upcoming concert taking place at the SM North EDSA Skydome on May 17, 2026, Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition 2.0 ex-housemate, dubbed as the Riles Diva of Camarines Sur, and Polaris artist Carmelle Collado, known as a contestant of The Voice Kids Philippines Season 4 under Kamp Kawayan of Bamboo, and the first grand champion of It’s Showtime’s singing reality show Tawag ng Tanghalan: The School Showdown Season 1, turns up the confidence with her first original solo offering, “Morena,” the first single following her PBB journey.
The empowering pop-dance track emphasizes the importance of loving one’s skin and championing Filipina beauty, as the track title implies. Jonathan Manalo, the creatives, content, and operations head of ABS-CBN Music, produces and composes this latest single, co-written with Star Music artists Jeremy Glinoga and WRIVE Members Russu Laurente, Ishiro Incapas, and Asi Gatdula.
Furthermore, the Star Music artist will prove her status as a new-gen pop diva in “CARMELLE LIVE!” happening on May 17 at the SM North EDSA Skydome, the first solo event since she debuted as a singer, following her appearance in several United States and Canada tours for “Love, KimPau,” headlined by Kim Chiu and Paulo Avelino.
On May 6, 2026, all the tickets for “CARMELLE LIVE!” have been sold out at SM Tickets outlets and its website. The said event offered a soundcheck access add-on, priced at PHP 299, available for purchase on the said SM Tickets platforms. The “CARMELLE LIVE!” will also feature Jarren Garcia, Anton Vinzon, It’s Showtime’s Baby Dolls, WRIVE, and Lyka Estrella.
Carmelle Collado previously released her cover singles Maalaala Mo Kaya (with Sofronio Vasquez, used as the official theme song of the Saturday anthology drama series of the same name since 2025, upon its return for the 31st season of the show) and Stay. The artist also participated in the anniversary single series of prolific composer Soc Villanueva, where she performed Unti-Unti with Kevin Yadao.
Carmelle will also appear in ASAP XP, taking place at the Smart Araneta Coliseum on May 10, 2026, a week before “CARMELLE LIVE!” performance at the SM North EDSA Skydome.
