Half-Spanish, half-Filipino singer-songwriter Edward Benosa is positive that there is still enough room in the Philippine music scene for real talents, and he intends to prove that with his self-titled debut album under Star Music.
Edward initially got his 15 minutes of fame when he auditioned for “The Voice of the Philippines Season 1” in 2013. Despite being a non-chair turner, his good looks caused Toni Gonzaga to gush with admiration. Even coach Sarah Geronimo said it was his edge as a performer.
“But I don’t just want to be that ‘good-looking singer.’ I wish to let people hear my songs and discover my compositions,” said Edward. “We Filipinos have a vast taste for music and I would like to believe that there is a part of the audience for my kind of sound.”
According to Edward, he is more on the side of pop ballad and his songs about love reach out to the hopeless romantic Pinoys who easily connect with experiential lyrics. He said, “Love songs define certain moments of our lives and the more relatable the lyrics are, the more it will captivate their hearts.”
Edward’s self-titled debut album contains eight tracks including “Ikaw Lang,” “Paglisan,” “Puso Kong Ito,” “Sa Piling Mo,” “Why Didn’t You Stay,” “Stay” featuring Marion Aunor, and his carrier singles “Iingatan Ko” and “Di Man Lang Nagpaalam.” All the tracks have minus one versions in the album.
The album is now available at all record bars nationwide for only P199. Digital tracks can also be downloaded worldwide via online music stores such as iTunes and Mymusicstore.com.ph.
