No doubt that Yeng Constantino has proven than even after winning Pinoy Dream Academy years ago, her career just gets better and better in time. She loves reinventing herself, from her looks to her songs and still keep herself rooted in the ground. In an encounter with the pinoy punk rock princess, we get to know more about the simple girl from Rizal who dreamed and now is living it.She continues the dream with another interesting new album called METAMORPHOSIS. And Yeng said it has truly undergone change in her life, with her looks, her spirituality, and still finds time with her family and fans. You might see that Yeng is very visible in the cyberworld as she have accounts in facebook, twitter and even back in multiply where she was very active in posting. She mentions that she would do fansigns and even give video messages to fans who bought her album and post a photo on her facebook page. This is something that most artists don't do and she still manages to continue this habit even she has a busy schedule.
Yeng being herself is one of the things I like about her and her music, and with Raymond Marasigan as her mentor and producer. She also shared that she was also one of the mentors chosen by Ryan Cayabyab in a songwriting bootcamp last year which she said is a very memorable experience.
She is also active in attending church which she said has made her happy and complete, like her songs. She even wrote several songs which are spiritual yet still appealing to the pop fans. On this new album the carrier single is B.A.B.A.Y. which she said goes to a friend who never said goodbye yet the song has a bubbly and playful feel. She is truly one you will love for her talent and her character.
WITH HER 5TH ALBUM- ‘METAMORPHOSIS’
They say that the only permanent thing is this world is change, and this rings true in the case of Star Magic’s Yeng Constantino.
Just like in each of her four previous certified hit albums, Yeng made sure that she has something new to offer with her latest album, aptly titled “Metamorphosis”.
Metamorphosis is the first word that came to Yeng’s mind when Star Records asked her for a title for her fifth music record.
Metamorphosis, which literally means transformation or “pagbabago”, appropriately describes Yeng, her music and her life.
Being the experimental type, Yeng has also been dynamic when it comes to her looks. She has long since shed off her simple getup and she now sports a bolder and a more stylish image suitable for the Pop-Rock Princess. Even her new hair color reflects her love for reinvention.
Favorite Female Artist of MYX Music Awards 2012, Yeng showcases how passionate she is with her music. It took her two years before completing the self-composed album, not because she had a hard time writing the songs but because she had to juggle writing the songs and doing shows here and abroad. In 2011, Yeng was grateful to Star Records that they allowed her to do “Yeng Versions Live!”, her fourth album that composed of previous OPM hits that she sang live. More so, this gave her more time to write new songs for her succeeding music album.
In “Metamorphosis”, the talented singer-songwriter’s carrier single, “B.A.B.A.Y.”, which is a sad song, is a big contrast to its upbeat and lively melody.
Another original track in the album, “Chinito”, was written by her friend, Jed Dumawal, which Yeng immediately fell in love with after she heard it online. Yeng didn’t pass up the chance and asked Jed to allow her to sing the song for her album.
Yeng has come a long way since she became the first-ever Pinoy Dream Academy Grand Star Dreamer way back in 2006. In the years that followed, she has consistently shown passion for her
music and eventually succeeded in carving a niche in the music industry as a talented singer and a song-writer.
Yeng embraces change and sees every moment as an opportunity to make her life better, and which she continues to transform without regrets.
Other original tracks in “Metamorphosis” include: “Hahanapin Kita”, “Josephine”, “Messiah”, “Pasensya Na”, “Di Pa Huli”, “Teleserye”, “Pag-Ibig” and “Sandata”.
Currently no. 1 on MYX daily Top 10, MYX Hit Chart and MYX Pinoy Countdown, “Metamorphosis” is produced by Raymond Marasigan under Star Records, and is now available in your favorite music stores. Also available online @ www.mymusicstore.com.ph and iTunes.
2012 PMPC’s Female Rock of Artists of the Year, Yeng will launch her 5th album on February 10, Sunday in ASAP 18.
Meanwhile, Yeng is a regular of ABS-CBN’s ASAP 18 and ambassador of RRJ clothing apparel. She was chosen to be one of the interpreters of Himig Handog’s Pinoy Pop Songs of Love, Alaala composed by Fe Tianga, Melvin Huwervana and Joel Jabot Jr. Aside from a long list of her out of town and abroad shows, she is also set to perform at the Academy of Rock in Singapore this year.
