In her 20 years in show business, Jolina
Magdangal has demonstrated her bankability and her versatility as a star. She
has been known as a child actress, a TV host, a singer, and more recently, a Pinoy
Idol juror. With her training as a protégé of Maestro Ryan Cayabyab (for
the musical group 14k), Jolina now shows her maturity with the release of her third
album titled Destiny. This 10-track album is filled with unforgettable
love songs ranging from soothing ballads to electronic sounding upbeat pop
songs.
There are three English revivals in this album, with "Will of the Wind" as the carrier single and theme song of her upcoming movie, I.T.A.L.Y. (I Trust and Love You), produced by GMA Films. In this opening song, Jolina's steady voice rises over the heavy piano, accompanied with guitar and drums. Singing with the confidence of her years in the field of music, her rendition of this song is testament to her befriending the will of the wind.
In "When I Fall in Love," Jolina takes out the somber tone of the experience of falling in love with an upbeat rendition that can almost make the listener dance. And this, she also does in her version of Fra Lippo Lippi's "Stitches and Burns."
Among the tracks in the album, "Pangako ng Puso," Umibig Ka," and "T'wing
Kasama Kita" have simple lyrics that Jolina successfully utilizes to convey the
heartfelt messages of love—the central theme of this album. "Hanggang Kailan"
is a soulful ballad, and Jolina's voice echoes with questions about the
persistence of love and its accompanying hopefulness.
Noteworthy among the tracks in this album are "Isang Taon" and "Buksan ang 'Yong Puso." In both songs, there is a sense of coming back to a place or a
person where the singer can only find true joy and peace.
Produced by GMA Records and distributed by Universal Records, Destiny is
now available in Astroplus, Astrovision, SM and Odyssey outlets nationwide.
Interested buyers may also download Jolina's new album from Wellcom, MP3
Express and MP3 King digital kiosks nationwide.
