As an initiative to
introduce the younger listeners to the generation-defining anthems that
conquered the airwaves for almost two decades, Sony Music Philippines and
6cyclemind are finally releasing the special compilation, Sige, I-cover
Mo Lang! Project today, October 28 (Friday), on Spotify and other
streaming platforms worldwide.
More importantly, it brings
a great opportunity for new artists to breakout in the music scene.
The covers record, which
features shortlisted entries from music fans remaking select hits from
6cyclemind’s acclaimed pop-rock catalog, contains three tracks that were
rearranged and given a fresh new spin to contrast or complement with the band’s
distinct sound.
Released as digital singles
a few months earlier, Bianca’s “Biglaan”
and Twenty-Nine Eleven’s “I”
took creative liberties in terms of arrangement and interpretation, but
retained the original’s melodic sensibilities as a way to preserve and
recognize its timeless appeal.
To date, Bianca’s version of
“Biglaan”
has racked up 1.6 million streams on Spotify, while Twenty-Nine Eleven’s
version of “I” has amassed more than 3 million streams on the same platform.
Payapa Project, composed of
Dan Billano (Vocals), Jepoy Almario (Percussion), Tatit Escolano (Guitars),
Choi Gonzales (Bass) and Raf Gonzales (drums), completes the trifecta of
releases from the Sige, I-cover Mo Lang! Project. The alternative rock
outfit, through their vocalist’s powerful voice, was given a once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity to render their own version of “Kasalanan,”
a chart-topping song from the album, Project 6cyclemind. Their
infectious take officially drops today as the third and final single of the
tribute compilation.
These songs are now
re-released into a music video format helmed by the band’s manager and sixth
member Darwin Hernandez. The final versions of the cover tunes were recorded at
Backdoor Recording Studio, and were produced by 6cyclemind and Soupstar Music.
Sige, I-cover Mo
Lang! Project is now out on all digital platforms
worldwide via Sony Music Philippines.
