Inspired by the Filipino's passion for teleseryes, songstress Arnee Hidalgo has reinvented herself via the new music video of her first original single in Filipino, "Kahit Minsan Lang." Written by Mr. Gino Torres, this song delivers all the romance, heartbreak, and good old-fashioned catfights of a TV soap in under five minutes. Directed by Paul Soriano and co-starring James Blanco and Aiza Marquez, "Kahit Minsan Lang" makes its high-tech debut on popular websites YouTube and MySpace this month.
Better known as the country's R&B siren when she dished out her hits, "Cold Summer Nights" and "True," Arnee shows her versatility with this new single, which is absolutely a new sound for her. Arnee's top priorities are still her two children and her family. However, she has added another feather in her cap. She is back in school at Southville International School taking up BS Business Administration major in Finance and is currently the topnotcher, a trait she has in common with her elder brother, Jeffrey Hidalgo.
Arnee shares, "While I haven't been as visible as my fans want me to be due to my family and school obligations, I am even more committed to the time I'm given to share my music and talents. "Kahit Minsan Lang" is me delivering on that continued commitment."
Her current single has also enjoyed heavy rotation on radio stations like Love Radio, YesFM and WRR. In addition, the music video has just started airing on MYX and soon on other music channels.
Direk Paul comments, "Arnee is a multi-faceted entertainer. Fans and soon-to-be fans will really see that in "Kahit Minsan Lang." She's a singer and also definitely an actress."
Producer/artist Jeffrey adds, "The word of mouth and exposure on YouTube and MySpace has been amazing! We decided to premiere Arnee's new music video where fans can find it and view it easily when they want. We are also relying on word of mouth promotion to spread the word about this one of a kind music video, which mainly caters to the Filipino's love for soap operas. That is why we call this a music video-serye."
Two versions of "Kahit Minsan Lang" will be available, the original music video and a sing-a-long version for videoke fans.
Jeffrey reveals that "due to popular request," they will also be adding some of Arnee's past music videos online and some rare live performances including "Cold Summer Nights," "True," and "Araw, Gabi."
