She is not deemed as a fresh face in the Philippine music scene because she was actually a member of the hip-hop group, Dice and K9 Mobstarr. The posse was become noted in 2003 because of their single Itsumo. Hi-C’s potential was ascertain when she whined the female part in the verse and many Filipinos even envisaged that she was Japanese! However, the exaltation of Dice and K-9 merely lasted till 2008. Only later this year, Hi-C cinched to do a solo career and it’s a stupendous extract that she selected Physical as her debut single. Here is Physical, a definitely sweltering music video from Hi-C!

If Dice and K-9 have already left the local music industry, Young JV bursts in to replenish hip hop, smooth rap and R & B songs for Filipinos and Asians.

The track termed At the Hospital by the band, the Ambassadors indeed like Gloc-9’s album had a motivation. The Ambassadors have existed in the Philippine music scene for so many years and they maintained their positions in not exposing themselves too much in the limelight. The band is primarily constituted of four men coming from Cebu, Philippines. The band members are Bai Nuñez: the lead vocalist who also plays guitar, Joseph Agura who engages with bass, Dennis Suarez who performed the drums & snores and Chris Janulgue who rocks with guitars. In 2006, the band yielded their album Question Mark with 16 tracks. Today, their album entitled Life Goes On has 12 remarkable songs which embodied their carrier single, At the Hospital.

Yael’s long time friend Gosh Dilay, one of the guitarists of Spongecola appended him to look for the other band members. The two met Armo Armovit who is the other guitarist and Chris Cantada who became the drummer. The epithet Spongecola like most of the Filipino bands was not their first preference. The band first labeled was Sponge which was enlivened from R.S. Surtee’s Mr. Sponge Sporting Tour. When they found out that there was already an existing band in Detroit, USA branded as Sponge, they rapidly just added ‘cola’ with their band moniker. Spongecola already had absolved two efficacious and smashing albums and singles for the past six years. Yet late of 2008, the drummer Chris Cantada bid goodbye to the band because of his worsening health condition. Just later of this year, they have announced their new drummer, Ted Mark Cruz who already been part of other Filipino bands.

The setting of the video was shot in a school and you will espy that most of a time, a lady is being stressed. If you can impute with the song then you should tout this video…

Is love really compels an entity not to torpor? For most of the people the riposte is yes. However, the Miguel Escueta’s track sleeping while the worlds awake is not about a person who is falling in love and cannot sleep. The carrier single is from M.E.’s 2009 E.P. which is Miguel Escueta’s sophomore album. Miguel Escueta instigated his music career when he consorted one of Philippines FM radio station contest titled, the Magic 89.9 Acoustic Break Competition in 2003.
