Jonalyn Viray sings the theme song of the upcoming ABS-CBN series, Asintado, which stars Shaina Magdayao, Paulo Avelino, Aljur Abrenica and Julia Montes. The series starts airing January 15.
The theme song is a remake of Roselle Nava's Dahil Mahal Na Mahal Kita. The music video premiered Wednesday night during FPJ's Ang Probinsyano.
Set in Spain, the delightful movie Ferdinand tells the remarkable story of a gentle bull, voiced by John Cena, a gentle giant who prefers flowers to fighting and has no desire to face off against matadors in the bullring. It follows Ferdinand as he embarks on a thrilling, dangerous and fun-filled journey to find love, acceptance and a real home. Home is also the title of the new song from Jonas, about the place where people (and bulls) can relax and be themselves.
From the award-winning Blue Sky Studios, Ferdinand was directed by Carlos Saldanha. Based on the classic 1936 children’s book of the same name, by author Munro Leaf and illustrator Robert Lawson, the film also stars Saturday Night Live’s Kate McKinnon as the voice of Lupe the goat.
Star Music has recorded a new Christmas version of the song Tell The World Of His Love featuring Kapamilya singers.
The music video of James Reid's The Life has been released. The song is from his third studio album which was produced by his own label Careless Music Manila (CMM).
Mamay Entrata will be launching a new Christmas song this coming November 29. Titled Merry Ang Pasko, the new song will be launched through MOR101.9 on FM radio. Watch out for it.
The music video of Moira Dela Torre's Malaya has been released. Directed by John Prats, it stars Angelica Panganiban and Sam Milby.
