"Make Me Believe" - Aicelle Santos from the GMA Records album "Make Me Believe" Directed by Milos Curameng Aicelle Santos Make Me Believe When Aicelle Santos first came onto the scene via her runner-up finish in Pinoy Pop Superstar Year 2, it was reasonably clear that she possessed a better voice than any newcomer. It's considerably strong but pliable enough to varying degrees. In a way, one is easily reminded of a young Lea Salonga with traces of contemporary R&B and soul; that is, Aicelle appears edgy early on in her burgeoning career. On her GMA Records debut album "Make Me Believe", Aicelle flaunts her superior voice and opts to concentrate on soulful melodies but going beyond trite formulas and productions for a fuller sound. Here, she demonstrates her ability to adjust her vocals depending on the song's demands. Of course, pop and R&B references are aplenty all throughout but it's marked with that signature Aicelle style: consistent, solid vocal performance. She hits highs with relative ease, it's quite addictive. The album's opener and carrier single "Ikaw Pa Rin" essentially testifies this young woman's significance and position in the music industry. Playing along a straightforward theme and pop-rock production, she wails longingly to the one she loved before ("Ikaw pa rin, ang hinahanap ng puso, ikaw pa rin ang siyang laman ng puso ko...") with such passion that one may think of it as an autobiographical citation. Moments later, she looks as if she's head over heels in love over someone new on the coy and adorable "Lullabies". Title track "Make Me Believe" written by Agatha Obar treads the right direction; her stable voice associating well with the piano-based instrumentation. On the surprising side follows "All Gone (My Lingering's Over)—one of two songs penned by Aicelle herself—which is a buoyant, bouncy track of getting over the breakup blues. "A House Is Not A Home", "Kung Bakit Ngayon", and "Nasaan" are soft ballads shaped using gentle musical backdrops. Emerging next is a stylish version of the Tracy Chapman original "Give Me One Reason". Aicelle's rendition is generally frivolous, poppy, and at times country-sounding. About the only thing bluesy are her crooning vocals. Meanwhile, things slow down again in "Tunay Bang Iibigin" but for good measure. This is a standout track where the generic production, vocal licks, and arrangements are warranted. Aicelle sounds in control and sweet whenever she sings, "Tunay bang ako'y iyong iibigin, tunay bang ikaw ay magiging akin... Sabihin mo, sabihin mo 'pagkat ako'y nahuhulog na rin", proving that a calculated performance reaches further than those brimming with sky high notes. By album's end, it is evident that Aicelle is still drawn to power ballads with another highlight in "All The Man That I Need"; it finds Aicelle singing her heart out in impressive fashion with remarkable arrangements. "Impostora" theme song "Maghihintay" offers a similar source of melancholy with previous ballads. Vocally, Aicelle is strikingly extraordinary. She bawls at times but still manages to soften it when needed. Although very young, she sounds way beyond her years and seems to be miles ahead of her peers by writing songs and creating "Make Me Believe", a good effort that copes with various genre shift Tags: Aicelle gma opm pop |

Just Once - Jaya from the GMA Records album "Cool Change" Directed by Milos Curameng Is it really over, Jaya? Over, now that you've managed to create one of your best work to date? Now that your rich, intense vocals sound better than before? Well, not quite. It's ironic really for the carrier single off Jaya's latest album to be titled "Is It Over?" since, in the first place, it doesn't really signal an end; in fact, it does the exact opposite in tremendous fashion. The last time listeners heard soul sister Jaya was back in 2005 with the thematic "Fall In Love Again." Two years later, she is back with a vengeance and all guns blazing. Her ninth album "Cool Change" signifies the many changes she has undergone in the past years. A new look, a new sound, a new label. These are some of the changes visible after giving the 55-minute long CD a spin. And what glorious period it was. From start to finish, Jaya delivers fitting sensuous vocals at precise moments all throughout. Although it is a remake album, "Cool Change" appears to be Jaya's strongest record yet, one that has stacks of variety and texture. It also stands as a testimonial of industry experience and wisdom in that she doesn't try too hard pulling off vintage soul; instead she delights in belting out these classic confections in her own sweet style. Choice cut and first single "Is It Over?" drips with dual emotions of the ends and beginnings of a relationship. Here, Jaya funnels her vocal abilities to a bare minimum, letting it flow fluidly with the lovely musical backdrop. The new minimalist approach is evident early on. With a rhyme-like arrangement and sunny production, title track "Cool Change" makes it clear that changes are present this time around. "Just Once" and "Through the Fire", classic songs remade over and over again, offer a distinctive Jaya touch. On the latter, controlled vocal aggression and gentle instrumentation keeps the song from being bland and overboard at the same time. The result of Jaya's newfound self-containment is as addictive as her old timeless hits. Meanwhile, "Points of View" features guest vocals from peer Regine Velasquez. This tandem, which is contrasting in terms of style, is probably one of the best. Jaya's full-bodied alto harmonies shine under layers of Regine's soaring vocals. "On The Radio" sees Jaya transforming herself to a disco/dance-pop diva in the image of Donna Summer. Another recognizable change comes in the tracks "Girlfriend" and "For the First Time" with their soothing, jazz-inspired vocals. She manages to restrain herself, understanding that a stable delivery will do rather than a powerful release. Clearly, Jaya is attracted to melodrama with a heartrending version of "Why Can't It Be," the essence of which is fixed yet again on mellow voices, and with Janno Gibbs lending his vocals they both make the neat arrangement notable. "Living Inside Myself" offers a comparable amount of sweet elements, which also relies heavily on delicate keys and backing vocals. After all that, the glorious ballad "Cody's Song" comes as a relief. Featuring Jaya's baby's giggle, this final cut is sung in a warm and kind voice that is as comforting as how this new album had managed to sound. All tracks present a much-improved Jaya and it only shows that she is at her best when she maintains control. Some might dismiss this as one of those remakes album done a million times before but the key factor in this album's success is its straightforwardness. It's simple and true and that's enough reassurance that Jaya's glory days are not over yet. Tags: Jaya gma opm pop |

"Take It Or Leave It" - Yasmien Kurdi GMA Records from the album "Love Is All I Need" Directed by Milos Curameng Fans and critics alike may remember the enjoyable pop concoctions she and her producers have created in her debut. Those dreamy vocals sliding smoothly on a piano base sure kept listeners humming and aptly longing for more. This time though as a reaction to requests, and expectations perhaps, Yasmien's eagerly awaited sophomore effort has finally materialized. Nourished by actual music industry experience and inescapable critique - an applicable combination for growth - Yasmien returns to the big league with "Love Is All I Need", a surprisingly noble effort framed with the intention of eliciting impressed looks and raves, as well as silencing detractors. It seemed that the time it took to craft this album had changed Yasmien's point of view; it's as if she closed her eyes and envisioned that a timely transformation is a key. Make no mistake about it, Yasmien still glows with the same friendly light; only that she is more capable of harnessing it now in varying degrees. Under the professional support of GMA Records, "Love Is All I Need" is an assertive collection of sensible pop goodies supplied with an ample amount of inventive collaborations. Produced by Miguel Alcaraz and Michael Dizon of Sandwich, Alwyn Cruz and Rene Salta, the result of the experimentation is adequately astonishing. And this exploration is none more palpable than in the first single "Kisapmata", a rock anthem baptized in modern pop fashion. Unlike the original's dark emotive treatment, Yasmien's adaptation plays around the riveting lyrics with amiable, sunny production. The accompanying video, directed by Milos Cumareng, portrays a magical Yasmien wandering around streets and districts; the backdrop of which is a venue of ordinary life. Essentially, the video translates the song's very meaning that is, wherever you go, in the blink of an eye, you are transported to an entirely different world. The carrier single leaves a lasting effect and clear indication of what one may expect from the rest of the album. From the cool breeziness of "Give Me A Sign" to the positive piano chords of "Wishing Well", and the vintage soul of "One Day", the so-called sophomore slump is crushed to oblivion; here is a girl who knows what she is doing and revels in it. Riding along the delightful line-up change, Yasmien takes a huge leap in her music career as she gleefully strides into the singer-songwriter path with title track "Love Is All I Need". Considering that this is her first take at songwriting, she pulls it off, to a large extent, with fairylike grace, proudly singing "Climb a mountain and touch the clouds, Sing a song in different sounds..." backed by soft arrangements and memorable, modest lines. This is a significant moment for her music career that demands-and commands-respect and that she is recognized as an artist serious in the perfection and development of her craft. On the subject of development, her vocal technique remains breathy but not frail, and still esoterically appealing. But now she is gradually realizing, and understanding, the range and distortions that come along with possessing a distinct voice. Two songs that exhibit subtle vocal variations include the despondent but rich "Even If", a ballad reminiscent of a young Sarah McLachlan, and the ultra-catchy "Take It Or Leave It", molded in the same structure as "I Know", which incidentally is interjected in a mix version included in the album. Rock-tinged "Hayaan Mo Na", a collaboration with Mong Alcaraz and Mike Dizon of Sandwich, turns up the heat. The steady beats and dampened guitar riffs are as catchy as hell and Yasmien doesn't disappoint: she delivers with ethereal melodrama in the presence of accomplished musicians. Her cover of "Goodbye" follows suit, bringing a new touch to an old iconic track. Yasmien ups the ante and shifts genre in "Candlelight Romance", an electronica/dance ditty rich in driving beats, laser-like penetrating thumps, and synth-heavy bangs. Her voice, in typical electronic manner, is manipulated to sound mechanized. This also proves her comprehension of the musical repertoire an artist should have. Acting has been Yasmien's foremost forte, naturally calling forth assorted personas with each role. But upon listening to this follow-up, she has taken that instinctive adaptability in her music too. It is always a relief to see someone rooted in safe territory reaching out to greater heights; so it is even a greater delight to see Yasmien, generally groomed as a pop princess in the public eye, trying out different styles. Yes, the good, old princess is still there but you get the sense that the adventurous, self-assured queen within her is steadily making its presence felt. Tags: Yasmien GMA opm |
