Whitney Houston's I Wanna Dance With Somebody Soundtrack feature star-studded remixes and originals

7:39:00 AM

 

Have you watched Whitney Houston's I Wanna Dance with Somebody? Well, in case you have not watch it, here's the list of titles of the soundtracks of the movie.

“This totally unique soundtrack album brings many of Whitney’s classics into 2023 and beyond. Contemporary, current and often scorching, if you love Whitney’s music, you must own this album,” says Clive Davis.

This features the long list of music spanning two decades of Houston’s legendary career, I Wanna Dance With Somebody (The Movie: Whitney New, Classic and Reimagined) includes nearly two hours of remixed and original versions of Whitney Houston songs, with special guest features by BeBe Winans, Clean Bandit, Kygo, Lucky Daye, SG Lewis, Samaria, Jax Jones, Leikeli47, P2J, Oxlade, Pheelz, and more.

“We are thrilled to be releasing the amazing 35-song soundtrack to the Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance With Somebody film with RCA Records,” says Pat Houston, President of The Estate of Whitney E. Houston. “We think the fans will be excited to hear some incredible music they know and love, as well as some new never-before-released tracks, including ‘Far Enough’ and the incredible ‘Don't Cry For Me,’ which ends the film.”

“I am extremely honored and proud to have been asked to reimagine a track made by all-time legend Whitney Houston,” says Sam Feldt. “Being a key part of this unique movie’s soundtrack by turning this classic into a 2023 ready dance-pop banger is an absolute pleasure, and I can’t wait for the fans to hear it.” "I’m beyond excited for the fans and the next generation of fans to experience the greatness of Whitney and what her voice meant and still means to all of us,” says Rodney Jerkins.

We all know her, and she's one of the most iconic and influential singers in music history, Houston sold over 200 million albums throughout her legendary career, to become one of the best-selling artists of the 20th century. Her self-titled debut album, Whitney Houston was one of the most acclaimed albums in modern recording history, spending 14 weeks at #1 on Billboard Top 200 and selling more than twenty-five million copies worldwide. The streak continued when Houston became the first female artist to debut at #1 on the Billboard 200 with her sophomore album, Whitney.

Together, the two albums spurred seven #1 singles with a catalog of hits that include, “Saving All My Love for You,” “How Will I Know,” “Greatest Love of All,” “I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me),” “Didn’t We Almost Have It All,” “So Emotional,” and “Where Do Broken Hearts Go.” A run that would lead Houston to become the only Black artist to earn three RIAA Diamond-certified albums.

MYX WELCOMES H.E.R. TO THE PHILIPPINES

10:59:00 PM

 

Mixing with a new breed, Filipina American H.E.R. (an abbreviation of ‘Having Everything Revealed’) is in Manila to celebrate the long Christmas season with her family.

Also known as Gabriella Sarmiento Wilson or Gabi for short, H.E.R. is currently one of the most celebrated and accomplished twentysomething singer-songwriters in the international music industry.

To celebrate her many successes, ABS-CBN Global and MYX hosted an exclusive Mixer Event attended by partners, personalities from the music industry, and the country's leading entertainment press last December 27th at Sheraton Manila Hotel.

ABS-CBN Global Chief Operating Officer Aldrin M. Cerrado also welcomes the opportunity to showcase Filipino talent to the country and the world. “We’re very happy that H.E.R. is in town for the holidays. ABS-CBN Global and MYX are very excited about the projects we will work on together in the coming months,” he says.

The 25-year-old San Francisco Bay Area native daughter of a Filipina American mother and African American father has landed in many headlines recently highlighting new career heights in music and film/TV.

With 25 GRAMMY nominations and 5 wins to date, H.E.R. has had an incredible journey, punctuated with inspiring projects and accolades that have quickly ascended her to superstar status. In 2021, her powerful song “Fight For You” from the Warner Bros. Pictures film Judas and the Black Messiah won the Academy Award for Best Original Song.

H.E.R. was also covered by global media for her groundbreaking role as the beloved character Belle in Disney's reimagined and reinvented part-live action, part-animated "Beauty and the Beast: A 30th Celebration" anniversary special which will be streamed in the Philippines via Disney+ in January 2023.

P-Pop star Mona Gonzales shows global potential with debut single “Always Remember”

12:00:00 AM


While I was browsing my TikTok account, I just so happened to land on one of the accounts where I find it entertaining because according to what was mentioned in rap-song like delivery tells that she will have a debut release. Coincident or not I find an email invitation to her debut release. Unfortunately I wasn't able to attend because of a reason. 

The female influencer, now star was Sony Music Entertainment and ShowBT Philippines Corp's latest P-Pop sensation with immense global potential, Mona Gonzales. It was indeed one event I feel sorry for not attending. Anyway, when I browsed her details on the net I was in awe because this girl is one of the anime theme song coverer that I liked. So, no wonder she has that immense global potential.  

If you listen to her covers you'll definitely love her voice. 

With more than 17 million followers on TikTok alone and an impressive portfolio of anime soundtracks that went viral, breakthrough artist Mona Gonzales ranks among the industry’s newest batch of megastar hopefuls.

The promising solo act marks her debut as a recording artist with “Always Remember,” an effervescent cut that champions the value of self-worth and preservation in an attempt to bravely face the world and conquer everything. Capturing the unabashedly colorful spirit of K-Pop and J-Pop with commanding confidence, Mona Gonzales aims to uplift listeners with her anthemic and captivating delivery—doing it like a seasoned pro.

“The way I personally describe it is something like a soft pop rock for me,” says the promising TikTok sensation turned P-Pop star. “The sound of electric guitar with a pop style beat is dominating through the whole song. The style is not really new, but the sound is unique in its own way. It’s a little different from the OPM that we’re used to. I think that makes it interesting.”

Produced by Oh Won Lee, an industry veteran who has helmed tracks by K-Pop icons Stray Kids, SHINee's Taemin, and Wanna One, and the country’s very own SB19, “Always Remember” is an inspirational track that pushes the envelope of modern pop production with breezy, summer hooks and a minimalist instrumentation. The end product is a mesmerizing take on P-Pop, one that is creatively boundless and flows with so much effortlessness.

As Mona Gonzales puts it, “Pinoy Pop Music doesn’t really have a certain and specific style and sound. Most of us new artists want to be unique. That’s true for me, but I want to add a new flavor and variety along with the existing Pinoy pop music right now. And with every Pinoy music artists, we will prove that P-POP can expand. And then people will talk about how the Pinoy pop music has evolved, its potential and where it can go.”

The release of the song comes with a vibrant music video that metaphorically follows Mona Gonzales’ journey as an artist with so much to explore and grow on. Shot in multiple locations that showcase the beautiful scenery of the Philippines, Mona Gonzales dances, sings, hops, and walks with the excitement of someone ready to navigate the world on her own terms.

Mona Gonzales’ “Always Remember” is out now on all digital music platforms worldwide via Sony Music Entertainment and ShowBT Philippines Corp. Watch the music video below.

Jay Justiniani Sings Again, Now with the Fireflies

6:44:00 AM

 

"Once an artist, always an artist," maybe this is a phrase that I could define Jay Justiniani, the former vocalist of Cueshe and now the lead vocals for the band "Fireflies." After seven (7) years and the onslaught of Covid19, Jay is back to singing, and this time he sings with the "Fireflies" band.

Early this September, a gig happened in Fiyo Bagi Restaurant and Bar. It is the relaunched of the "Fireflies" band together with a new set of band members. The current members of the group were composed of Junjie Dosdos, the keyboardist when he was in Cueshe, now Fireflies' songwriter and rhythm guitarist. JC Del Rosario IV is also a songwriter and bassist for the band. RM Tolentino, the drummer. Pat Galut, the lead guitarist. Of course, Jay Justiniani, Cueshe's former vocalist and now the lead vocals of the group "Fireflies."

Right after a few song performances of the group, which include pieces from the former band where everyone is familiar with Jay singing, a press conference was held together with some bloggers and media present. It was exclusive enough for a small number of individuals and platforms to cover print, TV, and online.


 
With so many questions to ask, I was more interested in the dynamics and process of how they create their songs for the new band, the Fireflies. According to Jay, "... luckily with this group nga, I'll tell you again, Junjie is a resolute writer, I also try to write songs and JC comes over there... that's a nice thing about it and then everybody is just everybody... hindi na-oofend... everybody comes to creating better songs." So, I can say that in this group they are more open and collaborative with the songs they make. It is indeed a good opportunity for a band.

With their songs, according to Junjie, who was from Cueshe, it is really hard not to sound like your former band because that's your style but they are striving not to make it the same as from their past song pieces.


A quick trivia about the band Fireflies, according to the band they named it Fireflies because they wanted to be that spark or a flicker of light, especially in dark times. The group is currently managed by Ms. Grace. To experience live band performance get in touch with them at 09923150106 or you can visit their FB page https://www.facebook.com/fireflies.ph for more info and updates on their gigs.

The night was great and being a person who loves to listen to music, especially live performances, it was a blast. And two other bands performed that night, the Rotom Olkis and Static Edge.
v Looking forward to Fireflies' music!

Break down your walls with Valentina Ploy in her new single “Berlin”

6:36:00 AM

 


Valentina Ploy breaks down walls between herself and listeners in “Berlin”, her second single with Warner Music Asia. The track will drop across all digital streaming platforms at midnight of 9 June 2022.

Coming back with yet another upbeat tune, Valentina Ploy has a way with radiating her sunshine personality even when singing to a lyrically sad song. We see people build walls as a coping mechanism while they are in relationships. As the track title suggests, ”Berlin” expresses the frustration of being with someone who puts up walls as high as The Berlin Wall. Co-written with Richard Craker, the upbeat pop tune takes listeners on a relatable journey in trying to break down and cross these walls built up by the person that they love.

“Berlin” will be accompanied by an entertaining music video starring Valentina Ploy herself, and renowned Thai actor, Benjamin Joseph Varney. Brace yourself for an unseen side to Valentina Ploy, as she proves to be a multi-dimensional artist, and shows her relatable quirky side to fans in this visual feast. Fans can also anticipate yet another endearing dance routine in the music video as Valentina Ploy encourages everyone to step out of their comfort zone and embrace every part of themselves.

Warner Music Asia announced on 21 April 2022 that it has formed a strategic alliance with Thailand’s premier independent record company What the Duck by signing Valentina Ploy, one of its most accomplished singer-songwriters.

This deal will see Warner Music Asia add the established Bangkok-based star to its roster of prominent singers, and will serve to support the What the Duck label in its work to elevate Valentina’s career to new heights. Warner Music will be harnessing the support of Warner Music Thailand to strengthen her domestic fan base, and utilizing the Group’s regional network to introduce her work to music lovers throughout Asia and beyond.

Just Music Night, A Soothing Sound on a Friday Night

11:15:00 PM

 

After more than two years, it was my first Friday night experience again. It feels like the first time I spent a fun Friday night listening to a band. It sure brings back memories of my younger years in this JUST MUSIC NIGHT, a night filled with beats and emotions where TJ Monterde released his latest single, "Walong Bilyon," together with the other singer-songwriters, Kenji, Patrick Quirros, and NKD.

Just Music is a sub-label of CS Music that caters to different talented singer-songwriters. And these four performers are just a few of the many talents of Just Music.


 
If you're one of those fans, who enjoy hearing different kinds of masterpieces, especially those with full of emotions and sincerity. The releases from Just Music are what will soothe your ears, and mine too.

Fans, friends, and relatives of these singer-songwriters are present during the event, showing their love and support to their favorite artists. Imagine seeing them perform face to face and live, put the entire crowd into cheer and roar.



Among the four performers, I and other bloggers got a chance to hear three of them sing and present their latest release. Two of them were interviewed. So, better catch the interview on my Youtube. And ironically, Kenji and TJ's releases are somewhat opposite or ying and yang. For Kenji, his songs are more of heart aches like the Liham, while TJ Monterde's "Walong Bilyon" is about his unending appreciation of the impossibility that came true, his love for his wife, KZ Tandingan.

Well, the night ends well with a smile on my face and the rhythm on my ear. I just hope that it is the start of more concerts and performances of different artists in the industry. 

To know more about the latest releases, catch the news on CornerStone Music and Just Music's FB pages.

Cassy London releases new single "New Age"

11:13:00 PM

 

Raised in Southern California, singer/songwriter Cassy London embodies a dynamic mix of razor-sharp strength and resonating grace; delivering a distinctive melodic style and euphoric tone. Cassy’s artist DNA combines her LA alt-rock roots with multiple genres across modern pop, resulting in a sound that is so uniquely her own. Now the artist returns with fresh offering ‘New Age’, a bold, uplifting and unifying pop anthem.

“The message of ‘New Age’ has always been really important to me, especially right now. It’s about feeling powerful, not powerless in the face of change; holding onto optimism and rooting everything in love.” Cassy London shares.

Produced by global multi-platinum producer Harry Sommerdahl (Red Velvet, Lil Wayne, Steve Aoki) the song was created during a writing trip to Stockholm, Sweden.

“The day of the session, I remember waking up and having a sense something really special was going to happen! I walked into the studio on a super cold day and sat down with the other writer and producer and began sharing my iPhone notes, voice memos, and the overall vision I had for a song called ‘New Age’” Cassy adds.


 

ABOUT CASSY LONDON

With Cassy London, what you see is a true reflection as she is passionately involved in every aspect from songwriting, to production and visuals. Her use of fantastical elements to story-tell is a way of giving a sense of “surrealism” to the honest and relatable messages in her music. Cassy cites Imagine Dragons, Enya and Amy Lee as some of the artists that have most inspired her.

Cassy’s first commercial single, “Carousel” was self-released and took the #1 spot on Youtube’s top trending videos. She’s been featured in online media and radio publications such as Galore Magazine and RadioInfo etc. “Suburbs” followed and was released by Sony Music/RCA. Her latest single “Old School;” an uptempo dance-pop song was featured on numerous Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, and YouTube global playlists along with exclusive performances on MTV Asia’s MTV Jammin series.

Working extensively with top European and US producers (Beyonce, Icona Pop, Red Velvet) while being mentored by iconic Rock and Roll Hall of fame songwriter Jeff Barry (Sugar Sugar, Leader of The Pack) and now signed with Swedish music powerhouse “The Kennel,” (BTS, Kygo, The Chainsmokers) Cassy is making music like never before.

With a global fan base of 4.3 million followers across social platforms, Cassy’s future is one to watch.

Jarlo Bâse Made a Major Label Debut Release of a soulful, laid-back track “Kalapati”

9:39:00 PM

 

Filipino singer-songwriter Jarlo Bâse is ready to carve his own lane in the music industry with the release of “Kalapati,” his first official single under Sony Music Philippines.

Recorded at Sonic State Audio, “Kalapati” doesn’t sound like a total diversion from his previous releases, but it has a more pristine quality to it as far as production is concerned. The laid-back tune finds the promising newcomer embracing a lighthearted but soulful direction while remaining adept in making accessible R&B/pop music that yields ecstatic returns.

Lyrically, the song deals about “loving someone for reasons that actually matter,” and as Jarlo Bâse puts it, “accepting them for who they are now, not for who they were, and definitely not for who we want them to be someday.” With Jarlo Bâse’s signature smoothness adding an element of a much-needed chill, “Kalapati” makes for an exhilarating listening experience: a bop that is ready to redefine romance in an exciting, youthful way.

While the song was initially conceived four years ago, it was only in 2021 when Jarlo Bâse was able to record the track in a professional studio. “I had to be patient,” the multi-talented artist reveals. “Waiting for the availability of studio was the most challenging part for me. It was all about timing, and making sure I was ready when an opportunity would arise. If my memory serves me right, I finished the song around four years ago. Most of what we did was re-record the different stems of the track, and polish what needed polishing.”


 
Underlining his reputation as a skillful singer-songwriter who is open to possibilities and sonic ideas, Jarlo Bâse wrote and produced “Kalapati,” with Brian Lotho overseeing the recording and production process, and Munimuni’s Jolo Ferrer on bass duties.

“My good friend Jolo Ferrer played bass for this, which gave the track more color and movement. I also got to work with Brian Lotho of Sonic State Audio. Brian definitely knows how to work very well with artists and their songs. I thoroughly enjoyed the studio sessions with him.”

Jarlo Bâse is currently managed by Crown Artist Management—home to artists such as Maja Salvador (also its CEO), John Lloyd Cruz, Jasmine Curtis-Smith, and more.

His latest single “Kalapati” is out now on all digital music platforms worldwide via Sony Music Philippines.

Music News : Acclaimed singer-songwriter lullaboy drops debut album, chapters of you

9:14:00 PM


 

Another Asian music release for your playlist. 

 Singapore-based Indonesian-American artist lullaboy rings in the new year with his debut compilation album, chapters of you—released independently and available now on all major digital streaming platforms. The record comes with two new songs: “deja vu” and “open up.”

After being rejected by countless labels, lullaboy decided to take matters into his own hands across 2021, releasing a song every month for the whole year. Each song explored different perspectives around a central theme of discovering what love means, in all its different shapes and forms. With his storybook lyricisms and genuine, heartwarming vocals, it didn’t take long for fans around Southeast Asia (and the globe!) to take notice. This persistent approach garnered him tens of millions of streams, and grew his following to an incredible 1.5 million monthly listeners by the turn of the year.

Hundreds of fans then came together to co create the artwork for chapters of you, each submitting handwritten versions of their favorite lyrics and lines from his catalogue, to be placed alongside each other in the final image.

“From songs about crushes to self worth, from regret to filial and spiritual needs, “chapters of you” represents a photobook that I’m showing a significant other, but I also hope it represents every single fan’’s own experience,” the rising singer-songwriter shares. “I hope that listening to the album will be like looking into a mirror and realizing that true love is found in every chapter of your life.”

“dejavu” is the lead single off of this album, and will be accompanied by a music video filmed in Malibu, California. The track is an anthemic one, created together with longtime collaborator Nacho Larrazza, and combines lullaboy's signature pop sensibilities with powerful, upbeat soundscapes. It will be released at 2pm (SGT) on the 24 January.

The INUTIL Single is Out, Viral Online Seller Madam Inutz is officially a singer

7:22:00 AM

 

Remember my blog about this lady being helped and now managed by Sir Wilbert? Well, the tides of change had come and things happen so fast. Read more of the details about what happened to her.

Viral Online Seller Daisy Lopez, also known as Madam Inutz, has officially released the much-anticipated music video of her debut song titled “Inutil”. She released the official music video on her YouTube channel last Thursday, September 23.

Madam Inutz stunned the netizens with her fashionista looks in her trending music video. This video reminded the netizens of Lady Gaga although Madam Inutz is a big fan of Miley Cyrus.

Now that she is officially a recording artist, her raspy voice is perfect for novelty, rap, hip hop or rock "Tunog Kalye" genre just like the Pinoy singers who were known for their own style like Aegis, Sampaguita or Up Dharma Down. Her musical influence were her idols Aegis and Miley Cyrus. Her inspiration when it comes to singing are Janine Berdin, Aegis, Sampaguita, Miley Cyrus, Cardi B, Nikki Minaj.

Madam Inutz is very professional and fast learner. She knows how to give the melody to the song and doesn't mind the long working hours for as long as she can deliver well and can produce the right song. The shoot for her music video was taken till dawn but she never complained and was still all-smiles and full of energy.

The preparations of Madam Inutz for her debut single was not a joke. She took it by heart, for days she didn't drink cold water and she didn't even shout the way she used to during her online selling so that she can modulate her voice once she started recording. She studied the lyrics and even analyzed it if it's suits her personality. Madam Inutz is indeed born to be a singer because she enjoyed what she was doing and she didn't find the whole process difficult plus she can very well relate to the lyrics of the song.

Daisy Lopez couldn't be more thankful to Wilbert Tolentino, her manager, for giving her the biggest break and an amazing opportunity that not everybody can get especially at her age, she said. According to her, there are a lot more younger and talented aspiring singers out there but here she is, launching her debut single. She feels honored and forever grateful to Wilbert because never in her wildest dream that she think she would have gone this far. All these years, she was just working hard as an online seller for her family especially her bed-ridden mother and now that the opportunity is here, she will not pass it up and would do her best.


 

The inspiration behind the song "Inutil"

Ryan Soto composed the song for Madam Inutz and before he did, he made sure that the genre, words and melody are perfect for her personality. The inspiration would be Aegis style or Sampaguita in a novelty style since she was best known for her catch phrases like "Inutil", "gunggong", "oh jiiieva" and more which is why he made it sure that he will use it for her debut single for recognition and a seal of her own identity.

This is what the whole song is all about, her life as an online seller, her struggles in life and some frustrating moments when no one is buying from her and they're just making fun of her online. The song also reflects her life in Tondo and Cavite. "Inutil" is also perfect for the masang Pinoy since everyone can sing and dance with it and the lyrics is very easy to memorize.

We all know that a lot of netizens enjoyed watching her online live selling which gained thousands of watchers and was even anticipated and watched by a lot of showbiz personalities but not all are amused, some were offended by her bad words and Madam Inutz said she can't please everybody which is why she always warned those who are watching not to let their kids watch her and she hopes they can just let her do her live selling because this is what she does for a living and also for the medical treatment of her ill mother.

Wilbert Tolentino has a lot of plans for Madam Inutz aka Daisy Lopez, she is very hard working, responsible and listens carefully to all of his advices and instructions, he knows that her career will sail smoothly as well as their partnership and friendship. They trust each other that much and will work side by side to achieve success.

He plans on making her a Brand Ambassador of Online Sellers and he wanted her to learn more about Entrepreneurship so that she can invest and make her business grow while making her way to the Entertainment Industry. He plans on making her name a staple in showbiz so expect more projects for her in the future and lastly, for her to be a famous Vlogger and that her YouTube account will be successful.

INUTIL is now available via Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Deezer, Tidal, Vevo, Tiktok, Youtube Music, Beatport, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitch, Shazam, iTunes, Facebook, iTunesRadio, and other online kusic streaming sites. Don't forget to watch the official video and subscribe to Daisy Lopez YouTube account!
