Tweet

“I have come from a long journey to finally release a new album again and I can say, it feels to great to be back. This new album brings so much excitement and fulfillment in my career that now I have a family of my own, I’m back to what I love doing the most—singing and recording songs for my fellow music lovers." ---  Kyla

KYLA shares her journey to home through her new album titled “Journey” is out in the market via PolyEast Records.

After a long break from releasing music, the country’s R&B princess Kyla is back full force with a stronger R&B sound and a passion for showing emotions through her music.

Yesterday, May 15, 2014, she shared many things about her life during our exclusive blogcon (Bloggers conference) held at the Polyeast Records office in the Quezon Avenue. 

 

Her debut in 2000 up to this date have talked so much celebrated as one of the most uniquely talented artists of her generation, but the new album “Journey” via PolyEast Records proves that she still holds the title.

A jazzy song written by Francis Salazar & Jungee Marcelo, included in the first single of the album, titled “Kunwa-kunwari Lang,” is the song debuted on radio last month and has been receiving much praise for her support as it peaked #1 on RX 93.1 daily survey. Likewise to its digital format, the song entered the iTunes chart at number one upon release and is now available on www.spinner.ph.

While she took something of a risk by breaking from her norm, this 6-track project finds Kyla working with a formidable slate of songwriting and production heavyweights, including Jungee Marcelo, Francis Salazar, Yosha Honasan and Jay-R. 

“The title kind of speaks for itself, my journey of life experiences. My last album came out in 2010 and here we are in 2014, and there are a lot of things have happened, obviously. There are a lot of changes that I need to embrace as to the music industry and battle of producing quality songs. And people have seen me go through so many things in the public, whether it's my personal life or my career,” Kyla shared. 

As the album reclaims her prominence, our 33-year old R&B chanteuse brings a range of styles from “Dito Na Lang”, a throwback to the singer’s glory days or much likened to her hit “Hanggang Ngayon”; “I Got This”, a song that mirrors many of her R&B hits, with her co-writer Yosha Honasan; and “Atin ang Walang Hanggan” on slow-motion which emphasizes the album’s firm R&B roots. When Kyla sang a song written for her by Brian McKnight titled "My Heart" during her Sunday show, it has since become her wedding song which is included in the album in a duet with McKnight. 

Kyla is now married to PBA cager Rich Alvarez with a one-year-old son. 

“That part of my life plays a big role of this journey. Especially on how I see life in a much brighter perspective and how love has defined itself for me” Kyla says as she shared her anecdote to her song and composition, “Journey”, which is also included in the album with Jay-R and Kettle Mata as co-music writers.

Shortly after her return in late 2013, Kyla began recording a new album. In March, Kyla renewed her contract with PolyEast Records.

“Sneakers Clash” unleashes the power of color

Tweet

“With the Spring/Summer collection featuring the most brilliant, eye-popping colors, it’s time to smear, spray and jazz-up the flat, the monochromatic, the boring.”

“We will not only paint the town red but in a multitude and dazzling array of colors,” says Kate Oliva, marketing and advertising manager of Converse Philippines.

Converse—the number one sneakers brand that lets you live out loud—unleashes the power of color in a series of simultaneous activities to herald its Spring Summer collection for the year, which is led by the re-issue of the Chuck Taylor All Star 70’s.

Dubbed the “Sneakers Clash,” the event invites the public to step into a kaleidoscope world where squeaky clean white totes, shirts and sneakers been spun in a Clash Box and came out with a swirl of colors, customers leave vibrant sole prints on an immaculate floor, models in painted tattoos will magically blend into dazzling background and photographs be transformed into unique works of art held at the Fairview Ayala Terraces last May 10. 

Social media followers also participated in the great fun event beforehand by posting photos of their fun summer activities in Facebook, hashtagging it with #PHOTOCLASHPH and tagging Converse Philippines (Facebook) last May 10, 2014.

The most creative photos jazzed up during the event by CJ de Silva and posted back to the users' respective accounts.

Capping the “Sneakers Clash” were performances from some of the most in-demand bands in the country that include Gracenote, Peso Movement, Paranoid City and Stereodeal.

CEO of Converse Philippines Ms. Margie Go and Michael Carandang, newest brand ambassador of Converse

“Sneakers Clash” also launch of the bands as the newest brand ambassadors of Converse, alongside media personality Michael Carandang.

Called as the All Star Core Creative, Peso Movement reflects the iconoclastic streak of the All Star sneakers but at the same time remain in tune with the urban pulse of the mainstream.

Composed of Japs Sergio on guitars and vocals, Francis “Brew” Reyes on guitars, Macky Macaventa on bass and Kurt Floreska on drums, Peso Movement has proven to be one of the more in-demands acts in the alternative scene with their high-octane rendition of what they call as “dirty rock and roll.”

A relative newcomer Gracenote, hailed as Converse Creative Connector, is composed of Chen Pangan on lead guitars and back up, Jazz Jorge on bass, Eunice Jorge on vocals, keyboards, violin and guitars and EJ Pichay on drums. They seek to make their every performance “a distinct and remarkable experience for our audience.”

Dubbed as Cons Creative Active is Stereodeal for navigating the musical terrain with lightning-fast beats and catchy lyrics. Composed of Adrian Arcega on vocals and guitar, Dax Gonzaga on bass, Marie de Guzman on drums and Dax Balmeo on guitars, the band features “emotional resonance and dance-floor nihilism.”

Paranoid City, composed of AX on vocals and guitars, 8-BIT on bass, lead synthesizers and back-up vocals, Eric Strange on drums and CD R.O.M. on support synthesizers, loops and back-up vocals, is Jack Purcell Creative Curators. Their music, which is a blend of different genres, is at once subtle and hypnotic.

Joining these brand ambassadors is Michael Carandang, also Jack Purcell Creative Curator. Now based in the Philippines, Carandang has served as a producer of popular TV shows in the States: The Tyra Banks Show and America’s Next Top Model.

Also making an appearance is Jeff Gonzales, one of the Converse's regional skate ambassadors. Known for his daredevil moves on the deck, Jeff has been skating since the age of 14. Having competed in various skating events in the world, including the Converse Asia Pacific City Carnage Regional Finals in Shanghai China where he represented the Philippines, he is now conducting skateboarding workshops throughout Asia.

“We have carefully chosen our brand ambassadors to reflect the spirit of Converse: rebellious in a creative way,”says Kate.

“They are trailblazer and influencers in their respective fields—from the alternative scene to pop culture, from tri-media to social media.

We are certain that they will make Converse as their stomping ground for their creative expressions.”
