Haven’t done this in a while because of the busy nature of work but hey, i listen to music while at work to keep me sane and at the same time, keeps me relaxed. Now, let’s begin with album reviews:

Eevee – Paramdam

This is one band to watch out for. Recent winners of Nescafe Soundskool, These4 young lads hailing from Davao released their debut album “Paramdam” under Sony Music. The first time i heard their single “Gusto ko lang ng girlfriend” this is a refreshing sound and what we need right now and not some angsty-driven music that is playing on the airwaves right now. I personally like the debut album and i can see that they have the potential to make it big in the music industry. “Gusto ko lang ng girlfriend” opens up the album while “Waiter” has the catchy tune of “Waiter pa-follow up ng order, yung inorder kong lovelife. kanina pa ako naghihintay” will make you singing for quite sometime. Other notable and personal favorite tracks include larawan, photographer, master baby (which is also one catchy) leading man and saturday night just to name a few.

I only have one complain on this album, it’s very short. Why only 11 tracks? Just when i was having fun listening to the album, it falls off with 11 tracks. Well, my complaining can only mean one thing and that is i can’t wait to hear the next album.

I highly recommend this album guys so get it now!

Francis M and Ely Buendia – In Love And War (ILAW)

About a year and a half ago, there is this dream collaborative project between 2 of the most influential artists in the philippines namely the late Francis Magalona and Ely Buendia. Everyone was excited until the man from manila passed away. They did however started the recording process and as a result, the carrier track is Higante. But due to the unexpected death of the master rapper, we were all left wondering will this album still be released?

Flash forward to 2010, finally, In Love And War (or simply ILAW) is now released in record bars. I was curious, how did the project went on? Answer? It has 10 tracks wherein 3 tracks were recorded with both ely and francis taking over the microphones. As for the remaining tracks, it’s a collaboration with different artists such as Pupil, Hilera, The Purplechickens and Gloc 9 just to name a few. The Album starts off with the carrier single “Higante” and you think that was it? Bleeder and Bust Stop are the next track that has francis magalona on it. The rest “Bum Ticker, Hand on,Wasak Waltz, It’s alright Ma and Buzzkill just to name a few) are some of the other tracks in the album though quite honestly, the 3 tracks that has ely and francis singing has got to be the strongest tracks in the album.Don’t get me wrong though, i like the purplechickens track and hilera but not as strong as bus stop (though bum ticker is a little catchy especially the closing verse)

Overall, the album is not bad though it would be epic if the late francis magalona didn’t passed away and completed the album. That would be legen…. wait for it….. dary

Still, get the album and you won’t be disappointed
