MANILA, Philippines – The Original Multimedia Star Donna Cruz has been busy promoting her new album – “Now and Forever” for weeks now and has been loving every moment of it. Her comeback, this time via Star Music, has “perfect timing,” she said.
“Star Music showed interest when I was really ready. If I really missed something ever since I got married, it’s singing and the feeling that people like listening to my songs and my singing. It’s one of my greatest joys in life. Singing is my first love and I will always go back to it,” said Donna, one of the most successful Filipino recording artists in the 1990s
Her new album contains two originals – “A Love to Last” and “Langit Ang Pag-ibig” – both composed by veteran composer Vehnee Saturno, to whom Donna owes her success.
This is why the fans of Donna should expect songs from the album to sound like, if not better than, her previous hits.
“Tito Vehnee had a huge part in, and should take a lot of credit for the success of my previous albums and songs, so you can expect to hear ‘Donna Cruz’ kind of songs in the album. You will also recognize my way of singing or style when you listen to the songs, only, with more feelings or emotions now because I have experienced and I know the feeling of loving someone so much and feeling so much love,” she said.
Aside from the two originals, “Now and Forever” contains six of Donna’s favorite OPM songs, which she personally chose and dedicates to her family and friends.
“Fans should expect to fall in love more with the person they love while listening to the songs kasi nakaka-in love ang lyrics. The songs I chose are all about love, how it feels to be loved, and to love someone so much,” she said.
These songs include “Ikaw Lang Ang Mamahalin,” “Friends,” “Dapat Ka Bang Mahalin,” “Nag-iisang Ikaw,” “Hanggang,” and “Ika’y Mahal Pa Rin,” on which she duets with Piolo Pascual.
“When I was recording each song, I was really into it as if I was just singing to to my husband, my son, my daughter, my parents, and friends. It was all positive,” she shared.
“Now and Forever” can now be streamed on Spotify and is now available at all record bars nationwide at P250. Digital tracks can also be downloaded via online music stores such as ABS-CBN Store, iTunes, Mymusicstore.com.ph, Amazon.com, OneMusic.ph, and Starmusic.ph.
