Star Magic Record’s AC Bonifacio ticks off another goal with the launch of her 1st single ‘Fool No Mo’

Tweet

Something new is popping for the New Gen Dance Princess!

After wowing netizens and personalities alike with her versatility and gaining following in various platforms such as TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube through her powerful dance covers, she has always been about leveling up. This same achiever personality, coupled with her undeniable talent, has allowed her to gain the attention of internationally renowned acts such as Selena Gomez, Cardi B, B.I, Black Pink, and BTS. Earlier this year, she delivered an amazing performance as Star Vixen on the hit TV series Riverdale.

Donning a new hat this time, on top of being a dancer, actress, host, and vlogger, AC is all set to conquer the stage as a singer and composer. Marking her foray into the music scene is the release of AC’s first-ever single “Fool No Mo” under Star Magic Records.

The song, which is composed by Jonathan Manalo and Trisha Denise, talks about the kind of love that leaves someone with nothing--the kind of love that fizzles out as quick as it blazes. Aside from adding her musicality on the song, the young singer also made sure to push the envelope further by composing the song’s its rap portion and by doing the back-up vocals herself.

“I am so excited to be part of Star Magic Records and to finally release music. It’s something that I definitely wanted to do for a while now. Pero ayoko po kasi yun biglaan and yung hindi ako,” AC explained.

Floored and grateful, AC, however, stressed that creating the song has been a team effort, especially for her part, since she admits to needing guidance as she’s no expert in rapping and writing songs.

“It sounded so different when it was given to me in July. But what I love about working with Star Magic Records and Sir Jonathan Manalo is that they are very collaborative. We really took the time to make the song to be how we wanted it to be,” she described.

AC is the first artist to be launched under the newly-established Star Magic Records, a sub-label of Star Music. With the aim of diving deeper, discovering more potential, developing talent even further and shedding new light once again to make star magic artists shine even brighter. This time, you can HEAR the magic.

The grateful teen star couldn’t mask her gratitude as she embarked on a new journey as an artist. This time, AC is all set to show the public that she’s capable of reaching new heights and pushing her limitations.

Fulfillment of one of her personal goals, “Fool No Mo” isn’t just a song for AC. It’s also a shining reminder that when you dream big and work hard, bigger things will eventually find their way to you.

Star Magic Records´debut into the music scene together with AC is only the beginning of the journey towards a fresher take on musicality and artistry as more promising performers and exceptional singers would be announced soon.

“Fool No Mo” is under Star Magic Records and will be available for streaming on all digital platforms worldwide on Nov 5.

Tweet

The most advanced pro-camera phone from TECNO CAMON series is finally here — Ultra-steady Gimbal Camera; Ultra-clear 60X Hyper Zoom; Self-portrait master; Newest MediaTek Helio G96 Chip designed for 4G camera phones and 120Hz AMOLED screen; TÜV Rheinland Certified Display for Eye Protection from low-blue light and certified fast-charge system.

TECNO, a rising superstar as a global smartphone brand of the new generation, releases its newest CAMON 18 series in the Philippines - CAMON 18 Premier, CAMON18P and CAMON18, pushing the boundaries of what it means to be a professional camera smartphone in anti-shaking and clarity. The new CAMON 18 Premier brings together the best of the CAMON series, such as TAIVOS, Super Night Mode, and Selfie Mode, and combines this with an all new Ultra-steady Gimbal Camera, a 60X Hybrid Zoom, and even more enhanced AI features for achieving professional videography.

CAMON 18 features an AMOLED screen with 120hz refresh rate that makes every touch experience faster and smoother. Furthermore, TECNO’s CAMON 18 Premier with Low Blue Light Certification from TÜV Rheinland will provide consumers with the best eye care possible. Powered by the latest MediaTek Helio G96 chip, and supported by a redesigned HiOS 8.0 the CAMON series is able to showcase what it does best, exceeding expectations once again to produce the best photos and videos that technology can offer.

“We always seek for breakthroughs of product and technology to inspire our consumers to unlock the world of possibilities. The digital revolution with the rise of new generations brings the latest trend of filmmaking through a smartphone device. The CAMON 18 Premier is the first TECNO product to take Ultra-steady Gimbal Camera technology innovations to create brand-new experiences for users. With “Stop At Nothing” as TECNO’s brand spirit, we aim to continually make breakthroughs in product and design innovations, as we have delivered through CAMON 18 Series.” said Stephan Ha, General Manager of TECNO.

Ultra-steady Gimbal Camera, a Smart “Shaking” Lens to Cancel External Shaking Motions

Users of all levels, from casual users to professional content creators, will have a new tool to achieve that perfect video. The CAMON 18 Premier is now equipped with unparalleled anti-shaking technology, at 300% the effectiveness of other smartphones without anti-shaking technology. When combined with a wide angle lens, the CAMON 18 Premier is capable of 109° wide-angle shooting, allowing users to create truly beautiful videos anywhere, while doing anything, with sublime clarity.

The CAMON 18 Premier’s rear camera follows the meticulously ratioed design philosophy that enhances the three lenses — a 64MP main camera, a 12MP Ultra-steady Gimbal Camera with widened frame, and a 8MP periscope lens, all housed within a new elegant glowing and ceramic backing and a cleaner, tougher flat surface design.

Ultra-clear 60X Hyper Zoom, See Further Than the Eyes Can Perceive

CAMON 18 Premier uses a 5X periscope lens and Galileo algorithm engine, which accesses multiple frames and gathers pixel information to enhance resolution and clarity. By combining the 5X optical zoom capability with up to 12X AI algorithm-based digital zoom, users can achieve an incredible 60X hybrid zoom, and travel as far as the moon in photography, elevating smartphone astrophotography to spectacular levels.

Master the Art of Self-Portrait with the 32 MP AI Selfie Camera

TECNO embodies their “Stop At Nothing” maxim with the 32 MP front camera, once again exceeding expectations with crystal-clear clarity. The powerhouse camera comes with a more compact and convenient UI, incorporating clear-cut function buttons and new intelligent gender-based identification. The beauty function has increased inclusivity for male features, having introduced beard and eyebrow enhancement. Users can now utilize the Portrait Light Effect Mode to lighten, darken, change, or remove the background completely, bringing the world of photo-editing software concisely to the palms of their hands.

Stylish & Exquisite Design from Color to Texture

The CAMON 18 series adopts natural and flexible design language, and interprets flowers and trees, natural breezes and drizzle in the product design. At the same time, it advocates the most dynamic and energetic elegant fashion design sense, which is perfectly integrated into the urban language. The ceramic elements are added to our products to bring a new aesthetic perspective to the CAMON series, and give the products more imagination.

Unleash Smoother, Faster Performance with the Newest MediaTek Helio G96 Chip and 33W Flash Charging

Equipped with a MediaTek Helio G96 CPU with eight cores, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage, the CAMON 18 Premier possesses multi-tasking abilities like never before, empowering seamless integration of multiple apps. This incredible processing power, coupled with a 4750 mAh battery, comprehensively enhances user experience, resulting in a system with the ability to photograph, videograph, network, and run games with remarkable smoothness. With TÜV Rheinland certifications for Safe Fast-charge Systems, CAMON 18 Premier supports 33W Flash Charging, attaining a 50% charge in just 20 minutes and a full charge in 65 minutes.

Live Vividly with the 120Hz Refresh Rate and TÜV Rheinland Certified Display for Eye Protection on your CAMON 18 Premier

The 6.7” AMOLED display (1080x2400) has a full HD resolution with up to 550 nit brightness and 100% NTSC for maximum visual satisfaction. The display boasts a 120Hz refresh rate; this unprecedented high refresh rate in a phone promises higher display fluidity and a more coherent and intuitive experience — the scroll is smoother and touch feedback is more sensitive. Moreover, as a TÜV Rheinland Low Blue Light (Hardware Solution) certified product, the CAMON 18 Premier can reduce blue light to provide comfort for your eyes all day long, and reduce overall power consumption.

Hear the Magic: Star Magic takes flight as it launches its own recording label

Tweet

We’ve seen Star Magic hone the most versatile talents and grow the most bankable and credible roster of stars in the local entertainment scene. They have been trusted by several top-notch companies and have been the face of many product endorsements. We’ve felt the magic with the number of top-rating teleseryes and blockbuster movies that have been headlined by the Star Magic stars.

Now it’s time to dive deeper, discover more potential, develop talent even further and shed new light once again to make star magic artists shine even brighter. HEAR the magic now with Star Magic Records, a sub-label of Star Music.

Over the years, Star Magic has been the home of various notable music-makers. Among them are the iconic singers Erik Santos, KZ Tandingan, Jona, Angeline Quinto, Klarisse de Guzman, Nyoy Volante, Mitoy Yonting, Rachel Alejandro, and Jed Madela. There are also the Next Generation Singers Janine Berdin, JM Yosures, and Idolls, among others.

Meanwhile there are also singer-songwriters such as Jayda, Davey Langit, Marlo Mortel, Lian Kyla, Sab, Angela Ken and Recio, as well as, theater acts namely Carla Guevara-Laforteza, Poppert Bernadas, and Gian Magdangal. Finally, Star Magic also takes pride in honing the finest world-class performers, who are appreciated not only in the country, but also on the international stage such as Darren Espanto, Inigo Pascual, BGYO, and BINI.

The premier talent management’s venture into the music scene ensures a fresh take on musicality and artistry, as they will be by introducing fresh performers and unleashing the singing prowess of its trusted talents.

“There is a big ocean of opportunities out there and Star Magic will continuously seek out those opportunities for all our talents, whether locally or internationally. We had very lofty dreams and I know it would take a whole community working together to achieve all our aspirations,” said Star Magic head Lauren Dyogi.

Leading the pack of artists to watch out for in Star Magic Records is none other than internationally-acclaimed performer, vlogger, and actress AC Bonifacio.

AC has been reaching millions of followers and subscribers on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube through her powerful dance covers, even gaining attention from internationally renowned acts such as Selena Gomez, Cardi B, B.I, Blackpink, and BTS. Earlier this year, she delivered an amazing performance as Star Vixen on the hit TV series Riverdale.

After years of making headlines as the New Gen Dance Princess, AC is now embracing her other side as an artist by unveiling her musicality through her first single “Fool No Mo.” The song, which is composed by Jonathan Manalo and Trisha Denise, talks about the kind of love that leaves someone with nothing--the kind of love that fizzles out as quick as it blazes.

As she dabbles into a new playing field, AC brings in the same amount of potential and passion that many have seen her showcase as a dancer, an actress, host, a vlogger and now a singer.
