MYRUS, the sentimental prince of OPM, has finally released
his most anticipated second album, titled “Wanted”, under Pusong Lito this
May.
Presented by McJIM Leather, “Wanted”
marks the next wave of Myrus’ career as a musical auteur—a brilliant composer, music
producer, vocal arranger, and singer rolled into one.
The album is composed of five
all-original tracks penned by Myrus himself including his monster radio and
Youtube hit single “Pusong Lito” and pop ballads “Sige Na Nga,” “Mahal Kita,”
“Ano’ng Kailangan Kong Gawin” and “Sana’y Malaman Mo.”
His collaboration with acoustic artist
Princess Velasco for the song classic song “Kanlungan” popularized by Noel
Cabangon, which was originally released in the “Tunog Natin: Song From Home”
compilation album, is included as a bonus track.
“Pusong Lito” is gaining a huge
following online; it topped the charts of many radio stations in Greater Metro
Manila, Cebu, Davao, Lucena, Cagayan de Oro, Baguio, Urdaneta, Dagupan, Iloilo,
Bacolod, and Cotabato. The song’s rise to popularity was aided by its initial
release in over 450 Mang Inasal stores, as part of the Mang Inasal Mang Aawit
Music Advocacy Campaign.
“’Wanted’ is the album that embodies
who I am as an artist. I am excited to share my music to Original Pilipino
Music lovers who are looking for new but distinctly Filipino sound,” he says.
“Wanted” reflects Myrus maturity as a
singer and composer. It showcases his superb vocal ability—undeniably one of
the most talented today—and his capacity to seamlessly marry contemporary
musical elements with traditional OPM aesthetics.
Myrus first stepped into the spotlight
in 2008 when he released his debut album titled “Love Cycle” under Sony Music.
That album, which featured his revival of Claire dela Fuente’s classic jukebox
song “Sayang”, was awarded Gold Record status and received the ASAP 24K Award
in 2009.
He likewise gained critical acclaim and
nominations in the prestigious Awit Awards and the First Philippine Radio Music
Awards for the album.
