British-Filipino artist Troy Javelona returns with one of our favourite songs of the week, called ‘WHAT’S A GUY GOTTA DO’.
The track was recorded between Troy’s bedroom and a professional London studio, giving it a distinctive feel that is somehow both ‘DIY’ and polished. This adds to the raw emotion that the lyrics deliver, of which Troy explains:
“When my girlfriend and I broke up we lived a couple doors down from each other, so some of the lyrics touch upon that. I poured my guts into that song.”
Since last featuring Troy on Alfitude back in 2023, he’s gone on to build a huge global fanbase, amassing more than 30 million career streams and commanding more than 589k monthly listeners on Spotify.
