The band’s concert with the Manila Symphony Orchestra (MSO) on September 29, 2007 was recorded in an album that includes a collection of the band’s 18 hit singles.

Sugarfree’s bassist Jal Taguibao said they want to offer something new to their listeners, such as their performance with an orchestra. According to Sugarfree’s vocalist Ebe Dancel, the listeners may expect a new arrangement for their songs as they played side by side with the MSO.

Asked about their favorite songs in the album, each of band members, Dancel picked “Wag Ka Ng Umiyak,” Drummer Kaka Quisumbing chose “Tulog Na,” while Taguibao picked “Burn Out.”
Having been in the music industry for nine years, the band believes that it has yet to fulfill a dream of performing for Filipinos in the United States. They already have played in Singapore. In fact, they recall during their gig that the Filipinos in Singapore were singing along with them.

“Someone came up to me and said your songs reminded me of hope,” says Dancel.

The band members admitted that they would have pursued a different career if they were not musicians.
