MUSIC LYF: Paolo Santos - How Sweet It Is

After quite some time, PAOLO SANTOS, the King of Acoustic is back! This time, he is doing songs closest to his heart! Paolo Santos is doing his versions of James Taylor’s most popular songs. Songs like Wandering, Sweet Baby James, How Sweet It Is, Don’t Let me Be Lonely Tonight and a lot more. Only One is the album’s carrier single. 

Ask why James Taylor? “He has been the biggest influence in my style. An amazing songwriter. James Taylor’s approach to his music is very simple. But it goes straight to your heart,” the Acoustic King enthused. 

With the release of Paolo Santos’ new album – HOW SWEET IT IS, Paolo Santos still reigns as the Acoustic King of the Philippines. Released under IVORY Music & Video, Paolo has come up with a 14 – track revival of James Taylor’s hits done in his sophisticated acoustic style.  

Things do have changed now that he is now a husband and a father. He mentioned that he does not like to be interviewed much because he was a little uncomfortable. But today, he is thankful for this new album and feels more open to more   media opportunities and also working on another album with original songs.
