A Whole New World, If Ever You're IN My Arms Again: Peabo Bryson Is Making 3 STops In His PH Concert Tour 2023

Ovation Productions brings back the top-tier adult contemporary balladeer, Peabo Bryson in the Philippines. The two-time GRAMMY winner and Living Legend Trumpet Awardee is set to hold his Philippine concert tour 2023 in Manila on July 19 at the New Frontier Theater, in Cebu on July 21 at the Waterfront Hotel, and in Davao on July 23 at SMX Convention Center.  

Robert Peabo Bryson has established a career as one of the premier male vocalists in contemporary music of the last quarter century. Bryson’s first break came during a recording session at Atlanta’s Bullet/Bang Records. The young singer caught the ear of the label’s then-general manager, Eddie Biscoe. Biscoe signed Bryson to a contract as a writer, producer, and arranger and encouraged. Bryson to perform his own songs. For several years Bryson worked with hometown bands and wrote and produced for Bang. In 1976, he released his debut LP, “Peabo”. The project featured Peabo composing nearly all of the songs (some with the great Thom Bell), a young Luther Vandross among the background vocalists, and sexy black film star Tamara “Cleopatra Jones” Dobson showing him love on the back jacket. 

REVIEW: Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

After so many years, there is still a lot of clamor for transformer movies which rakes in millions of dollars in the box office. Despite having to change some of the lead  human characters,  the real stars are still the transformers.

And with such extensive lore, there are still a lot of stories that can be produced and transformers to be introduced. Though Optimus Prime and Bumblebee remain as crowd favorites for the franchise and should always have an appearance. 

This time we are now introduced to the Maximals in Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, wherein we are also introduced to two new human characters, Noah Diaz and Elena, each being a specialist in their own fields. Maximals take the form of beasts which are bound to protect a certain key that is connected to a big villain in the franchise, Unicron. New favorite autobots for me is Mirage voiced by Pete Davidson, which has that comedic connection and charisma among all of the robotic aliens for the film.
