With the success of his songs "Handa," "Isipin," and "Falling Away" still fresh, there's no stopping Miguel Escueta from making waves in the music scene. This rock star now brings in a new single: his own rendition of the '80s crossover hit "Blue Monday," which was originally popularized by the English rock group called New Order. This song has been deemed as one of the biggest selling singles of all time, topping UK sales of over one million and making a mark during the '80s.
Injected with his distinctive style, Miguel, also popularly known as "ME" gives his own version a modern twist, making it more attuned with the times. The mishmash of syndicating beats and throbbing bass lines infused with Miguel's vigor gives his rendition of the song a strong kick that will surely leave audiences keyed up.
Though penetrating the music scene is not an easy feat, Miguel had already managed to make a mark in the industry in recent past. In 2005, he was nominated for Best New Male Recording at the 2005 Awit Awards.
The release of his repackaged album, I AM M.E. AMPLIFIED under MCA Music soars to great heights as his singles play heavy on the turntables and gain multiple requests. Having a rugged, edgy and strong vibe, this double-disc series contain original compositions and popular tracks that unleash this young blood's undeniable vocal appeal and musical artistry.
With his new single "Blue Monday," Miguel is more pumped up and ready to raise decibel levels while rocking the music landscape. The single has now been released on radio and they also just finished shooting its music video. Pixeleyes Multimedia was at the helm of production. Megged by director Yano Escueta and production partner Jalz Zarate, this promises to be ME's most rocking video thus far.
