IV OF SPADES reunite with surprise release of “Aura”

 IV OF SPADES are finally back! 

After going on hiatus to pursue their respective solo careers and side projects, the Filipino rock supergroup breaks their silence with the surprise release of “Aura,” their first single since 2020’s “Sariling Multo (Sa Panaginip).”

Produced by IV OF SPADES and Brian Lotho, the song explores themes of longing and unconditional love, searching for meaning and home among the sea of people.

Accompanying the release of “Aura” is a music video directed and produced by the award-winning team at Lunchbox. Shot on a scenic hilltop, the visuals capture the band in candid moments: walking, goofing around, and enjoying their time together. It’s both intimate and cinematic, reminding fans of the chemistry that once made IV OF SPADES a household name.

The comeback single also serves as IV OF SPADES’ first official release under their new label, Sony Music Entertainment, and new management, Balcony Music Entertainment. 

Roslyn Pineda, General Manager, Sony Music Philippines, spoke about the surprise release and the band’s long-awaited return.

"Yesterday evening’s surprise drop of IV OF SPADES’ new single, ‘Aura,’ was an unprecedented moment in Filipino music,” shares the Filipino label executive. “Watching the music video, it feels almost surreal that these four exceptionally talented individuals are back together again. This release is a heartfelt gift to the passionate fans who have missed them dearly. We believe 'Aura' will resonate deeply and bring tears of joy, reminding everyone of the unique magic that IV OF SPADES brings to the music scene."

The unexpected release instantly set social media ablaze, with the band trending on X (formerly Twitter) within hours. A wave of support poured in from fellow artists and fans, including Singaporean alt-pop sensation Shye, Filipino nine-piece band Ben&Ben, alternative rock outfit Over October, and Pinoy Big Brother actress Kira Balinger, who all took to social media to celebrate the group’s long-awaited comeback.

IV OF SPADES’ “Aura” is out now on all digital music platforms worldwide via Sony Music Entertainment.
