Karylle's latest album "K"

Are you ready Madlang People!!!

Karylle makes Filipinos smile and enjoy their wee hours in the afternoon via their noontime show Showtime and at the same time busy as we also get to watch her as Cinderella via her musical play at the  Resorts World Newport Performing Arts Theater. She also played a big role in the musical series The Kitchen Musical.

Now, its time to see and hear her versatility as she launch her new album "K" under Polyeast Records. It was launched last November 16 at Glorietta 5 activity center with all her beaming fans waiting for her. It was a night full of energy and really nice music. I really liked all the songs in her album, it was a new flavor for me coming from Karylle because I always see her perform love songs. With this new album, it was all dance-able.

Her new album features different genres from pop to slow song. She shows her fun side in the catchy pop tune and carrier single “Kiss You,” edgy in the modern upbeat tune “Bad Boys” (which she penned and has a remix version by DJ MOD), sentimental in the ballad “Kapiling Ka,” pays tribute to her musical roots in “In My Own Little Corner” (from Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella), among others. 

The album also includes Karylle’s 2013 Philpop entry “Sa’yo Na Lang Ako.” which she says her first time to experience joining a singing contest and even though they didn't win, it was still a great experience for her.

K, the new CD lite album from Karylle is available at all record bars nationwide and digital format at iTunes.com and mymusicstore.com.ph.

JOHN RENDEZ returns to Rap Recording

Rap artist and composer John Rendez is back to the recording scene. 

It took him exactly a year to finish the new all-rap album, from conceptualizing the type and quality of its contents, to composing the new rap songs, to deciding on some "updates" to his previous compositions.

Everything fell into place and on October 1 last year, John Rendez, together with Ms. Nora Aunor, his long-time friend and now business manager, has inked a distribution deal with PolyEast Records for the release of the new John Rendez CD album, titled "Metaldog"/"There Can Only Be One".

A follow-up to the self-titled album John did years ago, also bearing the "Metaldog" tag, with its carrier single, "There Can Only Be One" (a new original composition), the album is a decided mix of so-called "high end" rap and what may be regarded as "low end/pang-masa" hip-hop beat.

The experience of doing the whole album was as fulfilling as John has envisioned. 

"It's good to be back to what I love doing most! Couldn't think of any other thing as fulfilling," said John. 

No less than the bosses from PolyEast Records, Mr. Jesmon Chua and Mr. Chito Ilagan, the album distributor, would attest to the CD rap album's great potential to become a qualified hit.

"It's very positive. It's worth the long wait.  I can now say I'm a professional composer!"  John noted.

"It's really no great surprise, every rap song, very up-to-date music!" said John.

For his second album, John Rendez collaborated with noted music composer, Jonathan Ong, with mixing (mixdowns) by Robert Javier and Tony D.

"We clicked together, so good! Wala akong masabi!" he intoned.  "Jonathan Ong is the best! And Tony D. and Robert Javier, from the Sonic State Studio, in Mandaluyong, very, very good!

"These are heavily influenced by my past.  But you know what?  It's also Pinoy rap influence,"  John stated.

"This is my music," he said.  "This is the quality of my character.
If you want to know what kind of a person I am, listen to my music.”

"This is the statement of the person that I am, at this time; the person that I was, and also the person (to remember me by)," he also said, with words deeply felt.

John hopes that "people try to understand it.  I'm not gonna be something that I'm not; not gonna be something original.”

"I think, maybe, I'm gonna find a balance of my skills, my state of mind, and my 'feel' for what's 'in' nowadays. “

"If you don't like me, it's okay.  You can't please everyone.  I just want my music to be given it's own chance."

PINOY RAP INFULENCE.  Eleven original compositions make up this new rap album by John Rendez, including: There Can Only Be One, No More Musik By The Suckers, Ratt9MM, Metaldog, Kembotan, Everybody Sayaw (relieving John's early years on television, via ABS-CBN's "Ready Set Go!" in the early '90s). Under the Ground, Sowerzitat?, Domination, Coming To A Theater Near You, and a semi-novelty Tagalog rap, Plastik Pala.
