AltG Records' Plume sings about bittersweet farewells and fate in new single 'Ikot'
What if you had to say goodbye before tomorrow arrives?
Baguio-based singer Plume explores this lingering question in his new single under AltG Records, “Ikot.” This track delves into the tender space between time loops and bittersweet farewells - saying that sometimes it’s fate and not fault that draws the final line in relationships.
The story behind “Ikot” stems from a moment of contemplation between Plume and his partner.
“The inspiration was a conversation between me and my girlfriend: ‘If you were to disappear the next day, how would you tell the other person?’ shares Plume.
That raw question evolved into a track that refuses to place blame, choosing instead to focus on the acceptance that sometimes relationships simply run their course.
Rather than leaning into traditional heartbreak or angst, Plume offers his listeners a sense of comfort within the sadness through “Ikot.”
“I want them to feel that goodbyes can be bittersweet at most,” Plume explains. “Sometimes the breakup isn’t really because of the fault of someone. Sometimes it can just be fate - that you’re not meant for each other anymore.”
The title itself captures that dizzying feeling of reminiscing, about how your mind keeps turning, playing happy and painful memories over and over again like they're on permanent play.
“Ikot” will be available for streaming on all major digital music platforms nationwide on July 31.
