Ina-areglo ang songs so that match the personality of the band. The multi-hyphenate is also set to stage her first YouTube Music Night concert in December. Gigi’s budding recording career will only complement her already thriving life as a performer. Headlining her first digital concert and joining a Pinoy music festival “We want to show people that we are authentic,” Gigi declared. Think alternative pop or rock genre, Avril Lavigne or Haley Williams, she added. It was all about composing songs that are “very personal,” she said. Gigi revealed details of her debut recording at the PLDT Home media event, along with the creative work that went into the album. Dropped last September, the song ‘Sakalam’ is a slang word for ‘Malakas’ which is meant to bring out strong and deep emotions from the listeners, especially those experiencing heartbreaks. The original music was produced by ABS-CBN Music and written by the band's director Tritone and drummer Marquez. Just recently, Gigi, at 26, dropped her first single “Sakalam” which immediately became Spotify Philippines’ top song in the Fresh Finds playlist. While we’re counting the days before 2021 comes to an end, Gigi and her bandmates Jon Cruz (musical director, keys), Jake Manalo (bass), LA Arquero (guitars), and Romeo Marquez (drums) are counting the ways to give back to their fans who’ve supported them throughout their journey. As for the rest of her must-watch gigs, we’ve rounded up below what’s in store for the singer-actress-TikTokerist and now PLDT Home ambassador: You don’t need to follow Gigi or her band GG Vibes on social media to know about her upcoming project with one of today’s award-winning showbiz personalities Gerald Anderson, though-which is among the interesting projects we’ve been looking forward to seeing. “Sakalam” is out now on various digital music platforms, and you can watch its music video on ABS-CBN Star Music’s YouTube channel.After Gigi De Lana’s cover of "Bakit Nga Ba Mahal Kita" broke the internet a few months ago-thanks to her bandmates’ prank that made her unleash her impressive vocals for the online community to hear-fans have been wondering what’s next for the up-and-coming Star Magic artist and RISE Artists Studio talent. Gigi will perform “Sakalam” and a number of her songs in upcoming gigs such as the Filipino music festival “1MX Dubai” and the staging of her very own “YouTube Music Night” digital concert, both in December. Gigi’s producers quickly land on this equation-clean, spiky but sparkling guitar riffs, punchy live drums-that may seem pretentious for others as it’s still bubblegum compared to authentic rock-but, hey, we should all welcome diversity, right? It’s a weird formula but with the current music landscape leaning into hip-hop, R&B, and electronic influences, this song is a welcome respite hoping to fill the vacuum with pop melodies and a punk attitude. The song is a successful melange of Alanis angst, Courtney Love attitude (post Live Through This), and the Pinoy rock sensibilities of Aegis. Painful it is, as the song opens with heavy guitars like a B-side Aerosmith song, her vocals are soft and in despair describing how she is lost after a break-up. Produced by ABS-CBN Music creative cirector Jonathan Manalo, “Sakalam” was written by Gigi Vibes members Romeo Marquez and Erwin Lacsa, and arranged by Jon Cruz. After all, with her powerful pipes, a soulful song a la Mariah or Whitney would’ve been apt. So when news came out that this breakthrough singer would release an album, it was safe to say that her debut single would probably be a love song. Because of that, her followers and views now total the millions. She became viral when she performed “Bakit Nga Ba Kita Mahal Kita?,” a sappy love song originally done in the 1990s by Roselle Nava, where she used harmonic modulation to sing the chorus at heys that went higher and higher.
Then the pandemic happened, and she and her band put out livestreams of their performances and little by little, their following increased. At the time, Gigi would be happy if there were around 30 viewers of her livestream. And then she started a YouTube channel where she and her band (Gigi Vibes composed of Jon Cruz, Jake Manalo, LA Arquero and Romeo Marquez) would perform covers of pop songs. She first gained the showbiz spotlight when she joined Tawag ng Tanghalan singing torch songs, but unfortunately she didn’t bag the grand title. PUTTING singer Gigi de Lana into a single song category would be difficult.
