Four years after his album "Your Universe" released in 2008, Rivermaya's former front man Rico Blanco now brings us to another universe in
which his music continues to evolve. The singer/songwriter's new album is
entitled "Galactik Fiestamatik".
One of the album's track, "Amats", finally made it
to the MYX Daily Top 10. The song is a new wave genre, different from your old
school poprock. The rock icon has put the emotion of being infatuated or almost
been carried away by unreasoned passion or love in the track.
From MYXph.com:
The much awaited second album will take you to a festive
adventure that is ethnic, folk, punk and futuristic all at once. All songs of
which are Blanco's signature songwriting. Plus, altogether performed and
recorder by the mastermind himself in his very own studio attic. "I wanted
the album to sound more abrasive, more flawed than correct, " says the
singer. So, expect this album to be deeply personal and as if Rico Blanco
himself is singing beside you.
The carrier single, "Amats", is a song of
infatuation that's almost stalker-ish. Rico reveals, "I wondered, what if
I make it dark, talagang amats? It becomes more dangerous... you feel on the
edge, uncomfortable."
“Amats” is
surely to join Blanco’s collection of masterpieces that have captured our
hearts through the years. As a Filipino rock icon highly regarded for his
ingenuity and dedication to his craft, it’s only fitting that Blanco’s latest
endeavor deserves no less than a worldwide release to satisfy fans across the
globe.
The track "Amats" is available on iTunes
worldwide.
