Fierce and feisty is Maymay Entrata in her new track music video. It reminds girls to value themselves over those who can’t recognize their worth.
It’s hard to say with finality that Entrata’s new single, Di Kawalan will replicate Sarah Geronimo’s Kilometro, or at the very least, Maja Salvador’s Dahan-Dahan. Those two songs both became dance anthems, and it’s not difficult to understand Di Kawalan’s aspirations to follow in that path.
What can be said, for now, is that the track is a surefire success. The nearly 700,000 views on YouTube after a week of release and being a top trending video–are enough proofs.
It’s easy to get Di Kawalan’s addictive qualities. It’s danceable and complementary with empowering lines that speak of one’s self-worth.
Entrata’s subtle vocals are just right to carry the track’s equally modest beats. The music video showcased Entrata’s dance skills. It something that made her earned the title of the Dancefloor Sweetheart on ASAP Natin ‘To.
The song’s most important factor is the lyrics. There have been countless tracks that talked about self-empowerment, but they are mostly power ballads. With Di Ka Kawalan, the power does not solely come from the words but from what the track represents.
Entrata, who recently shared her bittersweet sentiment over what seemed to be a failed relationship (whether romantic or not, we don’t know), comes from an experience that made her fit to utter those lines. To her credit, she made the best of it, as she lent a vocal power whose strength does not necessarily emanate from its range but on the emotions.
The music video, which explodes in vivid, but dimmed colors, perfectly represents the bittersweet experience of falling in and falling out of love. It provides the lessons learned after a failed romance.
Entrata dances graciously to the rhythm and melody of the song. Her sugary vocals are strong complements, as well.
