DIAMOND SOUL SIREN NINA RELEASES MUCH-AWAITED NEW ALBUM "STAY ALIVE"







Asia’s Diamond Soul Siren Nina is undeniably one of the most versatile recording artists of her generation, and this is highlighted in her latest album "Stay Alive," produced by Universal Records.

"Stay Alive" showcases Nina’s distinct musical style as a multi-genre artist, incorporating varieties of strong repertoire. Selections from upbeat tempo to the infusion of house-sound, mix of r&b, club and pop are very noticeable in the whole album.

“This album features a new sound but it is still distinctly Nina,” says the Soul Siren. “I have worked hard for this album, so I am really hoping that people will enjoy Stay Alive.”

The album’s carrier single "Dance" is an upbeat track with a catchy melody that will surely catch the public’s fancy, and will further prove Nina’s ability to start new music trends. Its futuristic, edgy music video shows that the Soul Siren can also be a Dance Diva.

Other upbeat tunes in the album are "I Came To Dance," "Only With You" and "Laging Ikaw."

The stirring ballad "However Much Love" is another treat to loyal Nina fans because one can hear the sensitivity and vulnerability in the singer’s voice. The said song is an early favorite among Nina’s fans. The inspirational song "Believe in the Dream" is also a standout.

Nina also composed one of the tracks in the album "You Should Know" with Keith Martin.

"I Don’t Want To Fight," "Starlight," "Missing You" are some of the ballads in the album. As a bonus, Nina’s rendition of Sharon Cuneta classic "Hagkan" is also included.

"Stay Alive" is an album very close to Nina’s heart because she was part of the entire process of the production of the album- from the conceptualization of the album and its cover, to the Paper Dolls treat inside the album, to the songs, arrangements, among others.

“Stay Alive has been one exciting journey for me,” says Nina. “I can say that it is worth everything – the hard work, the time!”

"Stay Alive" Tracklist:

1. Dance
2. Staying Alive
3. However Much Love
4. Believe In The Dream
5. Laging Ikaw
6. Only With You
7. I Came To Dance
8. I Don't Want To Fight
9. Starlight
10. Missing You
11. You Should Know
12. Hagkan (Sabel Theme Song)

Check out tracks from Nina's "Stay Alive" album here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bY-GKj9qLBk

"Stay Alive" Special Edition CD with minus one tracks exclusively available at all Odyssey outlets nationwide.

Noel Cabangon welcomes Holiday Season with "Panaginip" Christmas Special Edition CD

Fans of Noel Cabangon and his music are in for a treat as his hit current album "Panaginip" now includes four original Christmas tracks – "Pasko Na, Pasko Na," "Maligayang Pasko, Mahal," "Pasko ng Pagbibigayan," and "Ang Regalo Ko."

The upbeat, festive song "Pasko Na, Pasko Na," the single for this special release, talks about how joyous the celebration is for Filipino families. Meanwhile, "Maligayang Pasko, Mahal" is a romantic ditty that talks of the promise of Filipinos residing abroad of better lives for their loved ones. The two other tracks "Pasko Ng Pagbibigayan" provides inspiration for season of giving and sharing and "Ang Regalo Ko" is a lover’s dream to be loved by his/her beloved.

"Panaginip" is Noel Cabangon’s latest album featuring the title track. It also includes noteworthy original songs like collaborations with former Sugarfree frontman Ebe Dancel (“Hulog Ka ng Langit”) and Diamond Soul Siren Nina (“Ikaw Na Sana”). Other impressive new songs include the aforementioned title track “Panaginip”, as well as “Dahan Dahan”, “Bayani ng Bayan”, “Ngayon ang Bagong Simula”, the hip-hop flavored “Walang Katulad” and the haunting “Awit ng Naghahanap”, a heart-wrenching tune inspired by victims of political killings. Three longtime original songs from Noel Cabangon are also included in the album (“Sana Dumating Ka na”, “Dahil Nariyan Ka” and the '80s inspired “Umuulan sa Tag-araw, Umaaraw sa Tag-Ulan”).

Of course, the covers are still there: “Bulag, Pipi, Bingi” (Grand prize song of the 2nd Metropop Music Festival, originally performed by Freddie Aguilar), the Heber Bartolome classic “Tayo’y Mga Pinoy”, “Tag-Ulan” by Lolita & The Boys and the Pete Lacaba/Ding Achacoso-written “Sangandaan”, which gained attention from the Mike De Leon classic film "Sister Stella L".

"Panaginip" Tacklisting:

1. Bulag, Pipi, Bingi
2. Dahan Dahan Lang
3. Hulog Ka Ng Langit with Ebe Dancel
4. Sana Dumating Ka Na
