The heat wave of summer gets even hotter with the release of great new albums from big stars Lani Misalucha, Janno Gibbs, and sensational heartthrob, Dennis Trillo. These celebrated Philippine recording artists give us new tunes and singable melodies that will truly melt the heart of every Filipino music fan.
Check out this new album previews as gathered by Tugtog.com.
Asia’s Nightingale Soars High
After years of hiatus in the local arena, the Asia’s Nightingale Lani Misalucha comes back to serenade her Filipino audience.
For her one-month stop over, the top caliber diva had two major endeavors. For the fortunate ones they witnessed her concert at the Araneta last March 17, which Rowell Santiago directed and Louie Ocampo acted as musical director.
On the other hand, those who were unlucky should be rejoicing to find that Lani released an album that’s definitely a treasure for her followers. Lani’s self-titled album consists of 14 tracks of old favorites that were given new flavor with her stunning voice.
Tracks in the album include “Never Knew Love Like This Before” (Stephanie Mills), “A Certain Sadness”( Astrud Gilberto), “All In Love Fair (Stevie Wonder), “Hold Me” (Teddy Pendergrass), “Always And Forever” (Heatwave) and “Never My Love” (The Association).
Whle songs like “Very Special Love” (Maureen McGOvern) to “I just Wanna Stop” (Gino Vanelli) and the bonus Christmas track brings out the quality of her voice. The rest of the tracks are “I Live For Your Love” (Natalie Cole), “These Dreams” (Heart), “Love Me Again” (Lani Hall), “Come In From The Rain (Diana Ross), and “Someone In the Dark” (Michael Jackson).
With her new album under Universal Records, Lani Misalucha fans will definitely feel they were’t left behind by their favorite diva.
Dennis Trillo Takes On New Role
Young good-looking actor, Dennis Trillo, have wowed fans with his numerous screen projects and TV soap operas. Now, his followers will be more than happy to know that he has accepted another challenging role as a genuine recording artist.
His first recording venture simply titled Dennis, is also one of the most publicized new albums this season since it is considered the “baby” of popular songwriter/singer Ogie Alcasid and Asia’s Songbird Regine Velasquez. The two singers own the Indimusic, together with the talent manager Leo Dominguez, who produced and released Dennis’ album.
The carrier single is “All Out of Love”, a song popularized by 80s mega group Air Supply. Dennis also recorded his version of another 80s favorite, “Love Is All The Matters.”
In the single “Magtatagpong Muli” he sings with Regine Velasquez while “Para sa Iyo” is an original OgieAlcasid composition. Other cuts are “Her Smile”, “Mangarap lang”, “All That I Know”, “Tanga” (written by Victoria), “Sayaw sa Hangin”, “All That I Know”, “Kung” (written by Odette Quesada) and “Lumilipad”, whih is the next single to be released.
“Seriously, tama ang pagpili namin kay Dennis as our first recording artist kasi alam naming magiging bestseller ang album niya. I don’t want to predict anything, kung kailan ito maggu-gold or magiging platinum,” said Ogie.
The heartthrob is currently promoting the album and his fans will have the opportunity to be intimate with him in the “Win-A-Date With Dennis” contest promo. So girls, what are you waiting for?
The Little Boy in Janno Gibbs
Actor/comedian Janno Gibbs has been a hot gossip item because of his colorful personal life. But when it comes to Janno the singer, only sterling remarks are written about him.
In his latest album - “Little Boy”, Janno offers ten songs that will make listeners forget their own anxieties. Seven of these tracks are his original compositions.
In the first track “Walang Kadala-dala”, Janno translates into music his view on natural shortcomings. His soulful voice blends really well to the melody of this single. While in “Kung Tayo’y Magkakalayo” (Rey Valera’s original), “Ikaw Lang at Ako”, “You are to Me”, Let Me Be The One” (a duet with Jolina Magdangal), “Pinakamamahal”, and “Ako si Superman” Janno showcases his vocal power as a balladeer.
Versatility is the one the best quality of S.O.P’s front man that’s why his collaboration with rap artist Andrew E make the “Sexy Mama” a hip-banging ditty. On the other hand the title track “Little Boy”, sounds like a confession of someone who is juvenile at heart.
The “Little Boy” album under GMA Records is said be the most personal album to Janno so far.
There are many albums set to release this summer but these three artist are surely the first to conquer the spotlight and win the hearts of Pinoy music lovers. Watch out for more new album previews from Tugtog.com.
