Rapper Skusta Clee and R&B artist Jikamarie team up once again for their latest single, “Bumalik Ka Na Sa’kin,” a slow-burning collaboration that highlights their musical chemistry and emotional range. The track marks their second time working together following “para pilitin ka,” released in March, which leaned more toward trap-driven production courtesy of Jika’s brother, producer Ken Ponce.
In “Bumalik Ka Na Sa’kin,” the pair trades verses over an acoustic, drumless arrangement that strips the sound to its core. The simplicity allows both artists’ vocals to shine, blending Skusta’s melodic phrasing with Jikamarie’s smooth, aching delivery. The song finds them pleading to a lost love, layering vulnerability over subtle guitar lines and soft textures that create a moody atmosphere.
The collaboration builds on each artist’s established style in R&B: Skusta, known for hits like “Dyosa,” “PAUWI NAKO,” and “Zebbiana,” continues to incorporate his melodic flair of rap since his breakout in 2017. Jikamarie, on the other hand, weaves intimacy that harkens back to earlier releases like “Lutang,” “aking buwan,” and “Kislap.” Together, they find balance in tone and tenderness, creating a collaboration that shouldn’t go unnoticed.
