From Global Playlists to Debut Album: Chezka Announces What the Body Remembers

There is a distinct, disorienting grief in mourning someone who has not actually left the room. It lives in the small compromises of everyday intimacy, the hollow comfort of lying next to someone whose touch remains familiar, even as their emotional presence has long receded into silence. On her debut album, What the Body Remembers, indie singer-songwriter Chezka refuses to look away from that quiet unraveling.

Set for release on all streaming platforms on November 6, 2026, the 10-track collection marks a bold creative leap forward for Chezka. Having already quietly captured international attention, landing on more than 10 global editorial playlists across multiple territories, she has proven that her vulnerable, hushed brand of songwriting translates far beyond borders.

Across the record, Chezka broadens the scope of her introspective craft by building bridges across international waters. Collaborating with producers and creatives worldwide, including Singapore’s PK Records and US-based producer Jacob Ray, she pushes her signature indie-folk foundations into more expansive territory. 

Rather than treating international recognition as a destination,  What the Body Remembers brings her songwriting into a wider musical landscape while staying grounded in the experiences that make her work relatable. Every track on the album approaches loss from a different perspective, allowing listeners to find their own meaning in the stories Chezka tells. Together, the songs form a portrait of the things we carry long after a connection has changed, and the memories that remain even when the relationship no longer does.

Now, she is ready to bring those stories directly to an intimate live audience. On November 20, 2026, Chezka will celebrate the release with a full live performance of the album at Aster Events Place in Mandaluyong City. Presented by WOOF, the creative agency of Underdog Music.

The evening will also feature guest performances by Janine, dana paulene, and Ruru. 

Doors open at 7:00 PM. Pre-sale tickets are available through WOOF’s official Instagram Page @woof.asia for ₱600, with walk-in tickets at ₱700.
