Entertainment Thursday, March 19, 2015

Universal Records welcomes their new artist under their recording label, no less than the very talented Ms. Nikki Gil. It has been 5 years since she last launched a new album and everyone is excited for her new album. It's the perfect album for her since she is the epitome of a woman who has moved on and is now having the best time of her life.

Nikki held a media launch of her album at Brentwood Suites in Quezon City.

Love Revisted is her fourth album since her major debut in 2005.

Nikki covers classic OPM hits from the late '80s to the early '90s, led by her carrier single, "When I Met You," originally recorded by the APO Hiking Society. In the album's notes, Nikki wrote, "the list of 0PM originals was purposely handpicked from special moments in my life."

The album includes her sincere renditions of memorable love songs like "When I Met You," "You're My Home," "A Smile In Your Heart," "Both In Love," and favorite songs of heartbreak "You Wont See Me Crying," "Pain In My Heart," "It's Over Now," "Farewell," and "You've Made Me Stronger." Nikki also has a special duet with Martin Nievera - "The Beginning." Her PhilPop entry "Babalikan Mo Rin Ako" is included in the album.

This coming March 20, Nikki Gil will have a grand launch of her album "Love Revisited" at the Activity Center of Glorietta 2, so don't miss this event!

Young performer Sam Concepcion welcomes 2015 with the release of his newest single “Teka Break,” a Jungee Marcelo composition. This new song is Sam’s follow-up to his back-to-back-to-back hits – “No Limitations,” “Mahal na Mahal,” and “Dati.”

Before the end of 2014, Sam was awarded numerous record awards – Gold Record for his latest album “Infinite,” double platinum for single “Dati,” and platinum for single “Mahal Na Mahal.”

“The past year has been very good to me as a recording artist,” says Sam. “This is my ‘good vibes’ song to everyone, so that we can welcome 2015 with positivity.”

Sam expresses gratitude to master composer Jungee Marcelo for entrusting to him this catchy, positive song.

The music video of “Teka Break” will premiere on MYX next week.

“Teka Break” is part of the compilation album “Transforming 2ove,” and will soon be a part of Sam’s upcoming album, set for release this mid-2015.

“Teka Break” will also be available on various music sites.

Lyrics of “Teka Break:”

TEKA BREAK

Verse1:

Bad trip ang gising mo, Para bang ang haba-haba pa ng araw Pag inip ang feeling mo, Para bang ang bagal-bagal pa ng oras, now...

Pre-chorus:

Wag ka nang mag-alala Musika ang kasama Gaganda pag may kanta Eto na, game naaaa..halika tena

Chorus:

TEKA, TAKE A BREAK   TEKA MUNA, TAKE A BREAK TEKA, TAKE A BREAK  SIGE NA FOR GOODNESS SAKE SAYAW MUNA, TAKE A BREAK

Vamp:

TEKA  OOH TEKA BREAK  TEKA  OOH TEKA, BREAK KA, TEKA TEKA  OOH TEKA BREAK TEKA  OOH TEKA BREAK!

Verse2:

OOTD ang smile  at sabay sa pag-tapik sa bawat tiempo  I know it’s been a while  nung huling humataw ka sa bawat step mo

Pre-chorus:

Wag ka nang mag-alala Musika ang kasama  Gaganda pag may kanta  Eto na, game naaaa..halika tena

Rap:

Tic toc, pop lock  Boogie to the goody good love Tic toc, pop lock, Doobee to the shoobeedoowop  Bigyan ng sapat na pasasalamat  Tingin sa taas, tingala sa bawat  Pagpapala’t mga biyaya  Sabay sa sayaw kapag niyaya,... yeah! ... halika tena
