Coming off the success of his first album, Faithfully, which has made it to triple platinum, Jovit Baldivino is now releasing his third album titled OPM’s Greatest: Volume One.

With carrier single “Tell Me,” Jovit's new album contains some of the well-loved OPM songs of this generation including “Forevermore,” “Say You’ll Never Go,” and “Foerver’s Not Enough.”

At the press launch of his album last June 27 at Elbuono Pizza, corner Scout Rallos and Tomas Morato, Quezon City, the Pilipinas Got Talent (PGT) Season 1 Grand Winner admits that he feels the pressure.

“Sa ngayon po, ninenerbiyos po ako kasi hindi ko po alam kung kakagat to sa mga tao. Pero, sa lagay naman po ngayon, parang papatok.

“Sana po, ganun din, kagaya nung first and second album ko, sana maging platinum din,” he said.

Jovit said it was Star Records Head Jonathan Manalo who chose most of the songs. But upon seeing the list, he need not say more. He was quite satisfied with the song line-up.

“Nung una po, kasi parang hindi ko po alam kung ano yung mga songs eh.

“Nung nakita ko po yung mga songs, sabi ko, hindi na po ako nagsalita kasi gusto ko nga din po yung mga songs, parang naexcited po ako para sa recording. Yun po.”

The 18-year old rock singer said that he gave his own twist to the ballad songs.

“Bale meron pa rin naman po…may pagka-rock pa din naman po yung mga songs.

“Then yung mga dati pong ballad na naging rock-ballad na ngayon. Parang ginawan ko lang po  ng sariling version.”

COMPETITION WITH MARCELITO POMOY? Since they both won in the same reality show, there are those comparing Jovit with PGT Season 2 Grand Winner Marcelito Pomoy.

But Jovit denies there is competition between the two of them.

“Natutuwa nga po ako kasi, Pilipinas Got Talent Season 1 po ako at si Marcelito Season 2 at natutuwa po ako kasi ako, sa first, Season 1…

“Parang, nagka-Season 2 na parang ako po yung pinaghugutan ng inspirasyon kaya natutuwa po ako at nagkaroon po ng Pilipinas Got Talent Season 2 at pati po Season 3.

“Natuwa po ako kasi parang, may sumunod na po sa’kin. Hindi naman po ako naiinggit or parang natatakot. Parang ano po, excited pa po ako kasi ako Season 1, siya, Season 2. Parang ang sarap makatrabaho,” he said humbly.
