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.
