Pinoy Dream Academy heartthrobs, Jay R Siaboc and Chad Peralta has just released their album. Jay R Siaboc’s debut album entitled Hiling was released under Star Records with eleven (11) tracks. Surprisingly, Chad Peralta’s self-titled debut album was released under NuGen Music with eleven tracks too. I’m just wondering why the album was released with a different label.

Joaqui’s debut album, The Jazzanova Project was just released by Vicor which is the recording label’s response to the growing popularity of bossanova. Although the album is not purely bossanova, the 12 tracks are a combination of jazz and bossanova. And this is another album of covers. It would be nice if he has at least more than 6 original songs in the album. And Jazzanova is not really a genre, they just coined the term.

By the way, Jazzanova is German-based DJ/Producer collective. Too bad someone used it already. (more…)

If they will have a pretty good following as a recording artist, a concert or another album would be the next step.
