Filipino singer-songwriter and producer raven drops deluxe edition of his new album, Kinulayan

 

The young multi-hyphenate will be launching his latest record on February 21 at Balcony Music House in Makati City

 

Listen to the album’s new single “LML” and bonus track “AOLID”

Filipino singer-songwriter and producer raven unravels the colors of life that appeared to have beautifully bloomed in the new album, Kinulayan, out today via Sony Music Entertainment.

According to raven, Kinulayan refers to someone whose dull, boring life brightened up after crossing paths with the person worth the risk in love.

The rising phenom wrote and produced Kinulayan with the utmost purpose of conveying happiness that radiates with positive emotions and expressions. A free-spirited record that bursts with hues and energy, Kinulayan allows listeners to find great pleasure in embracing the simple joys of life and the escape that it offers.

“The songs in the album reflect the different stages in a relationship,” the Balcony Music Entertainment act shares. “From catching feelings to wanting to spend the rest of your life with the other half, the record traces these developments from a romantic standpoint.”

Track list

The young newcomer’s second studio album features nine songs, with the addition of the bonus track “AOLID.” raven explains that the etymology of “AOLID” comes from the word “solid,” which he tends to mistype quite often. “It’s is my way of reclaiming the term in all its imperfect glory, while embracing the expression to lift others up and rise against the odds.”

Other songs in the album include the focus track “LML,” which was penned during a very tumultuous phase in his personal life. On the bedroom-pop ditty, raven turns moroseness into a source of inspiration, paying tribute to that special someone who helped him recover from the rock bottom and gave him a reason to make meaningful memories again.

1. May Sasabihin Lang
