MYRUS, the sentimental prince of OPM, has
finally released his most anticipated second album, titled “Wanted”, under Viva
Records this May.
Presented
by McJIM Leather, “Wanted” marks the next wave of Myrus’ career as a musical
auteur—a brilliant composer, music producer, vocal arranger, and singer rolled
into one.
The
album is composed of five all-original tracks penned by Myrus himself including
his monster radio and Youtube hit single “Pusong Lito” and pop ballads “Sige Na
Nga,” “Mahal Kita,” “Ano’ng Kailangan Kong Gawin” and “Sana’y Malaman Mo.”
His
collaboration with acoustic artist Princess Velasco for the song classic song
“Kanlungan” popularized by Noel Cabangon, which was originally released in the
“Tunog Natin: Song From Home” compilation album, is included as a bonus
track.
“Pusong
Lito” is gaining a huge following online; it topped the charts of many radio
stations in Greater Metro Manila, Cebu, Davao, Lucena, Cagayan de Oro, Baguio,
Urdaneta, Dagupan, Iloilo, Bacolod, and Cotabato. The song’s rise to popularity
was aided by its initial release in over 450 Mang Inasal stores, as part of the
Mang Inasal Mang Aawit Music Advocacy Campaign.
“’Wanted’
is the album that embodies who I am as an artist. I am excited to share my music
to Original Pilipino Music lovers who are looking for new but distinctly
Filipino sound,” he says.
“Wanted”
reflects Myrus maturity as a singer and composer. It showcases his superb vocal
ability—undeniably one of the most talented today—and his capacity to
seamlessly marry contemporary musical elements with traditional OPM
aesthetics.
Myrus
first stepped into the spotlight in 2008 when he released his debut album
titled “Love Cycle” under Sony Music. That album, which featured his revival of
Claire dela Fuente’s classic jukebox song “Sayang”, was awarded Gold Record status
and received the ASAP 24K Award in 2009.
He
likewise gained critical acclaim and nominations in the prestigious Awit Awards
and the First Philippine Radio Music Awards for the album.
As
a composer, Myrus is behind the megahit song “Sa Isang Sulyap Mo” of boy band
1:43 which is currently one of the official soundtracks of Pinoy Big Brother
Teen Edition in ABS-CBN. He also wrote songs for Arnee Hidalgo for the Mang
Inasal Mang Aawit music advocacy program and for Mcoy Fundales and Barbie
Almalbis for the “Tunog Natin” album.
