MANILA, Philippines - Fashion designer Kate Torralba ventures into the recording industry as she releases her first full-length studio album titled Long Overdue.

The album also features the works of noted producers and arrangers such as Todd Hunter, Mikey Amistoso, Jazz Nicolas, Diego Mapa, Dennis Chan and Mike Villegas.

Kate was part of the pioneering batch of the annual Elements Songwriting Camp and she describes music as her very first love being a classically-trained musician even before she entered the world of fashion.
