Callalily's "Flower Power" album, a comeback campaign

Callalily has new label, via Universal Records 

It has been three years since the popular Pinoy rock band, "Callalily" had their last album. During the band's bloggers conference held just recently at the Universal Tower with the Universal Records top execs, lead vocals Kean Cipriano, together with co-band members Tatsi Jamnague, Aaron Ricafrente and Lemuel Belaro, admitted that they've been working on their latest album for three years and that they've been working so hard on it that every detail, every article, every word that they had put on every song really matters. "Flower Power" doesn't only mark as the band's comeback album; it is also their first record from their new label, their new home, the Universal Records.

After the contract signing, Callalily performed 3 songs from their latest album

Check out their song "Buhay," one of my personal faves



Some of you might be wondering why Flower Power? Oh well, according to Kean, "Callalily is a flower kaya Flower Power. Power of Callalily." The lead singer even added that, "During the late 60's and early 70's, ang flower power is para s'yang advocacy, parang campaign noon na about peace and love. And feeling namin ito na 'yung right timing kasi sa mga fans namin, sa mga "Callalistas," flower power kami, tapos they love us very much, kami 'yung flower power nila. Tapos dahil three years nga, naisip namin s'yang gawing comeback campaign." That really made a lot of sense, right? Very well said, Kean. :)) 

While we still couldn't get over with their live performance during the blogcon, yet, we still had another very rare experience with the band. I was so delighted for the very reason that we also get to listen three more cuts from their latest album. And of all the songs played and we've listened to, the song HKM (Hindi Kita Malilimutan) caught my ear and attention. It was so touching and the words had so much meaning that it really struck me. Even Kean admitted that, it is also one of his fave cuts since according to him, "Tungkol ito sa mga na-mimiss ko na tao na wala na kasi sila dito, kasama na nila 'yung mga anghel. Saka iniyakan ko ito sa studio eh, I have to admit, unang kanta ko pa lang ng first line."


Finally! Callalily's "Flower Power" album cover

Tatsi, Aaron, Kean and Lemuel 

That afternoon was filled with surprises; it was also a very memorable, fun, happy and informative meet-up with Callalily. It was like a "getting to know" moment with the band,  we never expected (I bet you don't either) that Lemuel's family owns the very famous "Lala" chocolate factory, cool huh! Aside from that, Lem is also a member of a band named "Banda ni Kleggy," which Kean asked us to also support, all for the love of OPM. We've also known that Tatsi is a culinary graduate, cool! And here's another interesting trivia --- they're all still single! Well, Kean adamantly admitted that he's exclusively dating; Aaron's status is "It's complicated," while Tatsi said, "Nag-iipon muna talaga ko ng solid eh bago....  pera muna haha," and Lemuel's reply was "Career muna s'yempre, di ba, madaling magmahal pag mas maraming pera hahaha (joking)." Everyone was laughing and enjoying every moment shared with the band as if we were a big, happy family. :)) 

Callalily with the bloggers

Seriously, Callalily expressed their hopes about their latest album and their upcoming launch on October 12, 2012 at the Eastwood Central Plaza, 8pm, they said, "Gusto sana naming marinig s'ya ng mas maraming tao, gusto sana namin na marinig s'ya ng mga kaibigan n'yo, mga kapatid n'yo, mga pinsan n'yo na masabi namin 'yung kwentong sinasabi namin dito sa album na 'to." It is a celebration of new beginnings, friendships and good music. So guys, feel-free to watch them and be part of their comeback album launch this Friday, okay? They promise us a different kind of experience, isn't that exciting? So let's join them! ;-)

Bryan Termulo's "Dadalhin" has really brought his career on high




Bryan Termulo's own version of "Dadalhin" has really captured everyone's attention and the hearts of many most especially his female followers and admirers. The song was originally done by Songbird Regine Velasquez- Alcasid but Bryan has proven worthy of doing the remake of "Dadalhin" which now has already achieved Gold and reached a platinum record award, he is that great huh! ;))  The first time I've heard him sang this song was when I attended the ABS-CBN's top-rating Primetime teleserye "Walang Hanggan" presscon. Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to this promising balladeer in town and each pair of eye was glued towards him. His performance was undoubtedly one of the fairest and he lived up to the public's expectations.

A lot of good developments to Bryan's career happened  after that; he's never been so busy in his life... aside from being one of the members of Boys R Boys from the Sunday top rating musical variety show ASAP 2012 together with other members Alex Castro, Markki Stroem and "Angelito" lead star JM de Guzman, he had tried appearing in several tv programs like "Budoy" and "Wansapanatym." During the bloggers' meet and launching of his newest album entitled "Hanggang Ngayon," he still professed that singing is still his first love even if he's now venturing into another acting job via this upcoming Kapamilya teleserye "Against All Odds" with the powerhouse cast that includes no other than the "Queen of Primetime Teleserye" Judy Ann Santos-Agoncillo, Sam Milby, KC Concepcion, John Estrada, Mylene Dizon, Jessy Mendiola, Joseph Marco, Tirso Cruz III and Ms. Coney Reyes. 


The ever amiable Bryan during the Bloggers Conference

This talented "bulakenyo" (he's from Bocaue, Bulacan) singer was also tagged as the "Prince of Teleserye Theme Songs" of the Kapamilya network having been successful in rendering theme songs from several teleseries like "Dahil Sa Pag-ibig" and "100 Days in Heaven." Bryan is very thankful that he's now being considered and grateful that he belongs to the roaster of talented Pinoy balladeers like Eric Santos and Christian Bautista. 

The 24 year old handsome singer has even more to show and offer to his valued followers and admirers. His "Hanggang Ngayon" album which was produced by BWB Records and Music Production Inc. showcases original OPM songs like: Lagay ng Puso, Nasan Ka Na, Kung Maibabalik, Aanhin Pa, and Hanggang Ngayon with bonus tracks Dadalhin and another remake Pagdating Ng Panahon which was originally done by Aiza Seguerra. Bryan's album was distributed by Star Records and is now available in all record stores nationwide.  

Bryan gladly performed several songs from his newest album

Incidentally, his "Hanggang Ngayon" track list was nominated at the recently concluded OPM Tambayan Music Awards 2012 and had acquired the 7th spot in Astroplus/ Astrovision's OPM Best Selling Album Chart from June 25 until July 1 of this year. As part of promoting his second album, the newest balladeer is now being seen in several mall tours/ shows and he will be in SM Center Las Piñas (September 2), SM Fairview (September 8), SM Sucat (September 9), SM Olongapo (September 15), SM Baliwag (September 16), SM Naga (September 22) and SM Tarlac (September 29). 


Bryan Termulo with me and my fellow bloggers, oh yeah!


To all the girls who are wishful thinking and still hoping... good news! Bryan is not committed as of the moment hihi  the only thing that he's committed to right now is his career and studies. 

Hope you'll enjoy this video wherein Bryan sings "Dadalhin" with the bloggers live during his album launching. :))
