Singing sensation Myrus giving away Macbook, other gadgets

MANILA, Philippines - Sony Music recording artist and Philippine Radio Music Awards nominee for Best Solo R&B Myrus is giving away exciting gadgets to lucky buyers of his album “Love Cycle Repackaged.”

Presented by White Flower Embrocation, the ongoing album promo runs until the end of December. It is raffling off a MacBook White, an HP Mini 1109TU, an 8GB iPod Touch, and five 1GB iPod Shuffles as consolation prizes.

Aside from the high-tech laptops and music gizmos, album buyers will also be given 10 percent discount in eight Binalot branches in Greenbelt 1, De la Rosa, Salcedo, Robinson’s Ermita, SM San Lazaro, SM Makati, PureGold Agora, and Shangri-La Plaza from Sept. 1 to Nov. 30.

Now available in leading record bars, “Love Cycle Repackaged” contains 12 tracks of love songs, including Myrus’ heart-rending rendition of a Claire de la Fuente original, “Sayang,” and a collaboration with Dice and K9 Mobstarr titled “Kaya Mo!”

“Sayang” is so far a huge radio hit, dominating the airwaves in Metro Manila and key cities such as Davao, Cebu, Legazpi, and Dagupan. Its music video is airing frequently in MYX and MTV Pilipinas.

“Sayang” has received rave reviews in Internet social networking sites and blogs as well as from entertainment personalities, including De la Fuente.

“I am thrilled that the repackaged album is finally released. It doesn’t only have a new look and two new beautiful songs, it also goes with promotional efforts that album buyers should look forward to,” Myrus said.

After being discovered through the social networking site Friendster, Myrus’ big break in the music industry happened upon the release of his album “Love Cycle.”

Its carrier single, “Laging Ikaw,” did not only become a huge radio hit but also became a soundtrack of TV shows “Lipgloss” (TV5) and “Daisy Siete” (GMA 7). The song was also used as the official music for slimming brand FernSlim.

Awarded as 2008 Most Promising Young R&B Performing Artist by the Asian Star Entertainment Awards, Myrus has become popular with his own brand of music with funk and soul vibe.

Myrus is holding a series of mall shows in 18 SM Supermalls until November. The full schedule is available on www.myrus.net. He is supported by White Flower Embrocation, Fern-C, FernSlim, Dental First, and Binalot.

Myrus is managed by Chris Cahilig Consultancy. For booking inquiries, interested parties may contact 02-6872649 and 02-7063373 or text 0915-8661238.
