LISTENING ROOM: Zia Quizon - A Little Bit Of Lovin' REVIEW

I've been awaiting for this one to happen knowing that Zia Quizon's talent should be showcased. A 2-year wait is a long time but many fans would patiently anticipate the launch because of the charismatic melody and pitch of Zia. With her first self-titled album gives a sample of what she can do, the second album promises a whole new experience that will still charm you from the first to the last track.

The first album contained a songs that were compared to Adele which they sound alike, but Zia would like to make her own style and the second album. With a great mix of OPM and original tracks to song covers but not the conventional ones got my attention and happy to review this album.

Under and Over - a mellow yet smooth song that has that jazzy vibe that keeps you on your feet and still feel very relaxed.

Pasakalye - the first single, now a popular song in radio stations which like "Ako Na Lang" speaks with people's personal experiences and even the language.

With a new look, a more mature aura, a segment for a concert TV show, and the love and support of family, friends and fans, she starts on another new phase of her life with the launch of her new studio album under PolyEast Records.

With her distinct voice and charm she has captured so many with her music which is one of a kind. And though the album was not released earlier due to events with her family, this actually made her a stronger person and a sought-after artist.

MUSIC LYF: X Class - The Xtian Bautista Year 10 Concert

Time flies when you're having fun. And its best when you are also enjoying your musical and acting career. This is what Christian Bautista is having right now with his 10th year anniversary in the industry. I can still remember that he was part of Star in a Million as a contestant and from there, he made in through the very hectic and competitive world of showbiz particularly in the music scene. And even back then, I was a big fan with his singing and acting talent and now even with his dancing skills!

Now with this anniversary, he staged X CLASS held at the Meralco Theater (which he said was a big part in his career especially with Trumpets). The concert goes back to the hits he made in the past decade that made a mark to his fans and also featuring the songs in his latest album and projects like the Kitchen Musical. Of course, his concert would not be complete with special guests like Zia Quizon, Mig Ayesa, Alodia Gosiengfiao and many more that also made the night truly unforgettable.

I had another brief  encounter with the rising  music sensation Zia Quizon at in Metrowalk. I have loved her songs since I got a copy of her CD. Her hit debut single "Ako na lang" have been playing in radio stations and also in Music Channels in the Philippines. I also loved the songs in her self titled album like "Dear Lonely" which had its music video also  out and also making waves in the hit charts today. Coming from a family of celebrities, the daughter of the Divine Diva Zsazsa Padilla and the King of Comedy Doplhy, and the sister of multi-talented  Karylle Tatlonghari. I was able to first hear about her songs in her launch in Teatrino. And since I already had her CD, let me treat fans of Zia Quizon with a CD giveaway after the jump!

She has her own style and tone in singing which makes her stand out. With a cool jazzy feel of her voice makes one fall in love with the song and the melody. Other songs in the album includes "Smile", "So Much In Love", "Mambobola" and "Simple Girl".  And actually she is still in school while promoting the album and also performing weekly on ASAP 2012.

Pure Talent comes naturally, and even her parents are celebrities she went further to stand out with her breezily uplifting blend of pop, soul, jazz and retro R&B is here to sway you away as Polyeast Records proudly announces the release of Zia Quizon self-titled mini-CD album. 

Showcasing her talent as one of OPM’s young singer/songwriter could probably go beyond being a daughter of the Comedy King Dolphy and OPM’s Divine Diva ZsaZsa Padilla because Zia is here to prove that she’s is a breath of fresh air in her debut album. 

Featuring her positioning single “Simple Girl” is notably one of her masterpieces since she started learning her craft. Zia said “I draw inspiration from everyday experiences or a particularly strong feeling that I have at the moment. I believe that songs become more meaningful when you’re feeling emotional and in a way come from a very real place. And when you finally finish a song, the most fulfilling feeling about the whole process when you take a step back and think, ‘That pretty much sums up how I felt at the time.’” She wrote the song “Simple Girl” and obviously mirrors a young simple girl she really is.
