DOMESTIC music still proves to be very much alive with the release of the new albums of two noteworthy OPM acts — Miguel Escueta and Moonstar 88.
Miguel Escueta recently launched his debut album “I Am M.E.,” bannered by the single “Falling Away.” His name may not ring a bell yet for some, but he has established a name for himself when he emerged as first runner-up in the “Acoustic Break” competition in 2003 and nominee for Best New Male Recording Artist in the 2005 Awit Awards. But his momentum was broken when he decided to finish his studies at the Ateneo de Manila University. With his love for music, he decided to try again and eventually got signed by MCA Music.
Moonstar 88 is not exactly new to the music scene, having released two albums and spawning the hits “Torete,” “Sulat” and “Sa Langit” with then Acel Bisa as their lead vocalist. Now connected with a new record label (Sony BMG), with a new vocalist, Maychelle Baay, and a new drummer, Bon Sundiang, joining its original members — Herbert Hernandez (guitars) Paolo Bernaldo (bass) — the band is back with “Todo Combo.”
