A
“mastered for iTunes” song is a digitally downloadable track on
iTunes, taking legs of optimization to make every bit of it in the
highest definition possible and as close to how artists and their
production team intend every song to be heard as possible, while
keeping the music file size down for portability and for more
efficient digital distribution.
The
calibre that “Believe” has set for itself makes it well-worthy of
this iTunes mastery. As it geared away from traditional
instrumentation and instead adopted modern production, it has become
the most ideal vehicle to drive our eardrums to crave newness from
the OPM department. All the while the album never lost sight of what
is really important: it’s an OPM record. Note that all songs were
penned in Filipino to butter up Maja’s new-fashioned Pinay image
interbred with pop-house-R&B sound that could run parallel with
American Top 40 tracks.
This leap of Maja’s music to verge into the digital age is a gutsy deal in changing the game face of the local music industry not just in the manner of distribution and consumption of music, but also in its production and ultimately, the artistry. Now you can listen in hi-def to the album with crystal-clear vocals, smoother strums and deeper thumps as if each of the tracks just got off the LASIK chair.

A
milestone like this wasn’t far from Maja’s horizons to begin
with. The way she wants things to happen in her music career is to
take the qualitative side of the road, obvious in the production of
her songs and the videos for them: never dry and juiceless.
Maja believed that “Believe” would go places, and the album took the entire industry with it.

There’s
no denying it. “Believe” is a key part of OPM music history now.
