What makes SB19 stand out from all the other PPOP groups is the fact that they are a complete package. From voice range, creative and vocal specialty, to their personality. They each have a vital role in making their performances and overall music as beautiful as it has always been. Ken's deep and low voice gives the feel of being sucked into the Underworld beautifully. He provides the bass which serves as the foundation of their sound. Justin's calmer low tone serves as the lighter shade, balancing Ken's darker tone. Josh, with his low-to-middle tone, fills the gap between the higher and lower tones which makes their sound more intact and impactful.
Stell's high notes are the highlight of their sound. His ability to sing powerful songs even in a female key is outstanding and world-class. With his voice, SB19's sound is not just a PPOP powerhouse but a group of international caliber. Pablo's middle-to-high tone is a dark horse, just like Ken's deep voice. Having the timbre of both male and female, Pablo had to learn how to balance both components of his voice to not sound squealing or screeching. The way he controls his voice to provide the power a song needs is astounding, to say the least. One YouTube reactor once said that Pablo's voice is like a hot knife that can cut through anything. No matter how loud or thick the sound is, even if the whole group sings loudly at once, you will never mistake Pablo's voice.
But what is truly worth mentioning is that despite each member having their respective role or position in the group, they can actually do anything. They are so versatile that even if one member is not present, the other four can easily fill the gap. As masters of their crafts, there's not much that these men couldn't do, especially when it comes to showing their swagger in the hip-hop genre. Last July 12, 2024, PureGold gathered its ambassadors for a Thanksgiving Concert held at The Big Dome. One of the highlights of the concert was the collaborative performance between the SB19 rap line and Flow G. Talk about two worlds colliding!
Pablo, Josh, and Ken proved that they weren't just pretty faces and set the stage on fire as they performed High Score with Flow G. Many A'tin have longed for a sub-unit song or performance between the three rappers of the group and this one was a dream come true. Each of them showcased their individual fashion preference, providing a glimpse of who and what they are as solo artists, and they didn't come to play. Many were pleasantly surprised as soon as Josh came out on stage to join Flow G, and when Pablo came out, it was already a win for us who had been wishing for something like that to happen. But when Ken joined them on stage, it just skyrocketed to a whole new level.
PureGold did a great job having these artists on one stage to showcase their talents and have a great time with each other. The country could learn a thing or two about how massive our talent mine is and learn how to utilize it well. It is also high time for the government to finally show support for genres considered as minorities in the Philippine music industry. Just this collaborative performance alone showed the power of Filipino talent that we can all be proud of.
I'm certain many would agree with me that these three monster performers need to have a rap song, like immediately. The three of them spitting bars and killing the beat would be epic, especially on a live performance.
