New music and drops
A cluster of new music moments surfaced: Filipino group BINI pulled a quick outfit-change during a Coachella set and posed backstage, Thai artist FOURTH released an MV called 'Every Single Day' that’s sparking fan challenges, and Anitta & Shakira’s collaboration 'Choka Choka' appeared on Apple Music.

BINI, FOURTH, and the Anitta-Shakira pairing all landed new music moments on April 10 and April 11, turning one weekend into a cross-market pop rollout. (forbes.com) (music.apple.com) (youtube.com) BINI’s moment came at Coachella on Friday, April 10, when the eight-member Filipino group played the Mojave Stage at 4:15 p.m. Pacific time and became the first Filipino act to perform at the festival. Their set included a rapid onstage costume switch during “Shagidi” and “Zero Pressure,” followed by backstage photos that spread across fan accounts. (abs-cbn.com) (pep.ph) The outfit change was built into a larger visual concept. PEP.ph reported that stylist Ica Villanueva started preparations in December 2025, with BINI moving from gold “warrior” looks with salakot-inspired headpieces to teal “siren” outfits during the set. (pep.ph) FOURTH’s release arrived a day later. RISER MUSIC premiered the official video for “Every Single Day” on YouTube on April 11, with the Thai title “อยู่ด้วยกันนะ,” and streaming listings show it as a 2026 FOURTH single. (youtube.com) (open.spotify.com) That drop fits the current playbook for Thai pop releases, where a music video launch and fan-led short-form challenges often move in tandem. The official YouTube premiere page carried the release hashtags for the song and video, signaling a coordinated social push around FOURTH Nattawat’s release. (youtube.com) Anitta and Shakira’s release was the most straightforward: “Choka Choka” appeared on Apple Music as a one-song single running 2 minutes and 11 seconds, dated April 10, 2026. Apple Music lists it as a Republic Records and Universal Music Latino release, licensed from Floresta Records. (music.apple.com) The single also extends a larger album campaign for Anitta. Billboard reported on April 6 that “Choka Choka” would be the second single from her upcoming album *EQUILIBRIVM*, and Consequence reported the song was released ahead of her scheduled *Saturday Night Live* appearance. (billboard.com) (consequence.net) Taken together, the weekend’s releases show three different routes to attention: a festival set built for clips, a music-video premiere built for fan participation, and a platform-first single from two established stars. By Sunday, April 12, each had already moved through a different part of the global pop pipeline. (abs-cbn.com) (youtube.com) (music.apple.com)
