heart-warming and inspiring songs that are included in this album, surely, this new

Erick Santos is one of the few balladeers of our
time that is making a mark in the music industry. A lot of people know that
when Erick sings, he sings from the core of his heart. And to Erick, singing a
song is like telling a story to his audience. And his goal is to let his audience
understand and feel what he is telling them.
During the bloggers event for Erick Santos that was held
recently at Kitchen Cakes and Coffee restaurant in Tomas Morato, he (Erick
Santos) proudly introduces his new album that according to him is very
special. “It is special not just because its my own album, but because in this album
there is a song where I personally wrote all the words from the first stanza
to the last of it.” Erick said.
Erick was able to write a song primarily because, he
loves listening to love songs, and this is where he draws his inspiration in
writing a song.
In his journey as a singer, Erick Santos would like
to follow the footsteps of Basil Valdez, who as a balladeer has made a lot of
timeless songs that are well-loved by a lot of Filipinos here and abroad.
Erick
Santos has done a lot of concerts in the past,
and some of the most memorable ones for him are of course the Power Icon concert where he was able to perform in front of the jam-packed audience at the Music Museum for two consecutive days. Another one is the concert he did five years ago in Araneta coliseum where he did a lot of difficult things on stage like singing while dancing which he is not accustomed to do, nonetheless, he was able to do it with flying colors.....And in doing
concerts or just simply performing in a T V show and in other places, Erick Santos makes it sure that
he always do his best by preparing and practicing a lot….for he believes
in the
phrase that says: “A singer is just as good as his or her last performance.”
