LISTENING ROOM: Kris Lawrence - Spread The Love REVIEW

It has been a while since we he heard of a OPM  RNB album that will venture into a pop-driven music industry. But its about time for Kris Lawrence to launch his new album "Spread The Love" under GMA Records. 

Despite waiting for 4 years, it's exciting  to finally hear him as he brings together quality and original songs that will start his reign as the new "Prince of RNB" given to him by his buddy and now "King of Pinoy RNB", Jay-R.

Now let's look into the tracks of the album:

Nightmare - a track, Kris mentioned that was meant to be used by Justin Bieber, is now his own and with Elmo Magalona joining him for the track proves he can be a  international artist.

Tell Me - The feel is very 90's that brings one into a nostalgia trip. This type of song is one of  Kris Lawrence's specialty.

Ikaw Pala- the Philippine OST of the Korean series "The Innocent Man", is deserving to be used for TV. I wish he would do more TV series soundtrack.

MUSIC LYF LISTENING ROOM: Richard Poon - Legends

Last month Richard Poon shared his latest album LEGENDS under Universal records, as well as the news that he and Maricar Reyes will get married. Here at Listening Room, he is one of the first OPM artist to be featured in this section for Music Lyf.

This is Richard's new album is also his first with the label and also a slightly different feel from the big band genre but I do love the album as it is a great chill album, in these times of most of the other songs out there belt their hearts out this brings us back to basics and also appreciate smooth and easy music.

Now lets listen to Legends:

LISTENING ROOM: Linkin Park - Living Things REVIEW

Yes I won't let the day pass to get my chance to have a review of my favorite band ever, LINKIN PARK. And I am provoked by the fact I saw boots by Sebago with the Linkin Park logo! Now I'm again injected with the LP fever and have to vent out frustrations  So my therapy for this would be a review of my most favorite Linkin Park Album so far, LIVING THINGS.

They may have got noticed with songs used in the Transformers movies, and now its over, their songs are now being used in movies like Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter and many more. They also have a Dell Laptop with special LP software! Now lets get back to the album!

LISTENING ROOM: MKNM - Gloc 9

There will be something new that will be part of Manual to Lyf Music Lyf to further  enhance the music experience with the newest OPM songs coming out, it would be helpful for the music junkies like me to have a say on albums out today.  This new section will be called Music Lyf Listening Room.  And for the first featured album will be Gloc-9's MKNM Mga Kwento Ng Makata. 

Just launched last month,  MKNM is gloc-9's first album with Universal Records and the fourth overall. Gloc-9 again colaborated with other OPM artists like Billy Crawford, Jay Durias, Ebe Dancel, Bamboo Manalac, Chito Miranda, and his Protege Denise Barbacena.
