The two artists will share the spotlight in a 2-night concert entitled “A LANI MORISSETTE MUSICAL JOURNEY”, happening on September 22 and 23, 2018, at The Theatre at Solaire.
Asia’s Nightingale Lani Misalucha and Asia’s Phoenix Morissette Amon are ready to treat audiences to a rich variety of musical styles and unforgettable performances featuring the songs that made them legendary.
Two musical journeys will cross path as they sing a medley of unexpected song choices that showcase their versatility, vocal range, and own style of performance.
Solaire, known for being a champion of Filipino artists, showcases the evolution of Original Pilipino Music (OPM). “Lani and Morissette are on different stages of their musical journey. Lani is at the pinnacle of her career while, Morissette is still venturing into hers.” says Audie Gemora, Solaire’s Director for Entertainment.
Asia’s Nightingale Lani Misalucha moved to the United States in 2000 and began performing in various Las Vegas hotel and casino properties, gaining the name “New Siren of the Strip”. The veteran singer, reaching the high point of her Philippine success, made the bold move to spread her wings wider to only shine brighter under the City of Lights.
She is known by many for her high-octave vocal range, and iconic songs such as “Sana Dalawa Ang Puso Ko”, “Tunayna Mahal”, “Araw-Araw, Gabi-Gabi” and “Bukas Nalang Kita Mamahalin”. She is back for a short while to visit family and to fulfill commitments here in the Philippines. “I immediately said yes when I was presented this concert with Morissette.” she shares.“For me, she’s one of the most talented young Filipino artists right now. Aside from that, she’s really a wonderful person and I’m excited to work with her and for this project.”
The young Morissette Amon started in Cebu and made it to Manila’s rigorous talent shows where big voices dominate and are always in fierce competition. After countless attempts at victory, she rose from the ashes like a phoenix to claim her rightful place.
She recently reached a milestone with her first solo concert, “Morissette is Made” held at the Big Dome, and is now being toured around the world. She rose to stardom for her powerful vocal range catapulting her to become one of the country’s new generation of biriteras. “I wasn’t really sure what will happen after my concert, but I’m really grateful that I’ll be able to share the stage with Ms. Lani – one of the music icons I really look up to.” says Morissette. “I’m also very happy that we jive in so many ways. Not just in our singing style, but also our personalities.”
As for preparations, the two singers reveal where they are at in their respective careers. Being rather new under a bigger spotlight, Morissette admits that even though she has spent some time with Lani before, she still gets shy around her.
“It’s important that when you’re collaborating with another artist, there is that rapport. I just tell myself that, ‘Sette, you can do this. Don’t be shy.’” Lani, on the other hand says that she will have to prepare physically to keep up with the 22-year old. “I don’t have the same stamina that I used to when I was younger, so I really need to prepare myself.”
During the media conference recently, Lani shared that they are very thankful that this concert will finally push through.. "Two years na po itong napag-isipan na magsama kaming dalawa ni Mori. Dahil hindi nape-permit ng time and schedule namin, ngayon na lang po talaga matutuloy," shared Lani.
"I'm very grateful na finally it's going to happen and I'm very privileged to be working with this young lady over here who happens to be half my age," the veteran performer joked about her junior counterpart.
"This is gonna be great, interesting and cool. I'm looking forward to our show."
Lani also shared some important advice to Morrisette Amon who continuously gains a lot of fame doing what show from the other plus hitting high notes and reaching her dreams.
One of her advice is to "always thank the Lord for all her blessings and never-ever forget to pray and give thanks."
Lani, one of her idols ever since, Morrisette said that she is "very thankful that she will be working with no less than Ms. Lani Misalucha."
"It's an honor as a new artist na makasama po ang isang icon ng Philippine music industry. It's pressure but it's good pressure because it pushes me to give my best din po, " said Morissette.
Despite the contrasts between both artists, they are on the same page when it comes to what they want their fans to experience. “We want to give them a show they’ll enjoy and remember. We included songs that we usually sing but, we also chose ones that aren’t expected for that surprise factor.”says Morissette. “After the concert, we want our fans to leave feeling good, and with them is the message that we want to convey: We all go through different journeys in life, but if we focus on the plans that we have, we can achieve them.” Lani add.
“A LaniMorissette– Musical Journey” proves to be a story of reinvention that will relate to an audience that have their own challenges to face, and to inspire them to make the decisions that they fear to take.
Definitely a concert series you shouldn’t miss!
