Klarisse may debut album na, may solo concert pa

MANILA, Philippines - May sariling album na may solo concert pa ang Soul Diva ng The Voice of the Philippines na si Klarisse de Guzman.

Magaganap ang kanyang fist solo concert entitled The Voice of Klarisse De Guzman: Live In Concert on August 29, 8:00 pm at Teatrino, Prome­nade Mall.

Ang kanyang debut album, pinarinig naman ni Klarisse ang kakaibang galing niya - expressing her personal singing style na hindi pa niya naiparinig nang sumali siya sa The Voice – ay available na sa mga music store at puwede nang ma-download.

Tulad ng kanyang Voice coach na si Sarah Ge­ronimo, naging playground and training ground din niya ang amateur singing contest. In fact, nagkalaban pa nga sila ni Sarah sa isang major contest.

All By Myself ni Celine Dion was her sure win piece plus added luck ng slice of ginger on her tonque hanggang makatapos siyang kumanta. Sinasabi kasing nakakaganda ng boses ang luya.

Nakasali siya sa mga malalaking competition. She finished 2nd in Batang Kampeon when she was 9, kung saan niya natalo noon ang ngayon ay In­ter­national singing sensation Charice na 3rd placer lang.  Next stop niya ang Star For A Night pero hindi rin siya pinalad. Doon niya nakalaban si Sarah.

And the rest is history sabi nga.

Tulad ng maraming singer duma­ting siya sa puntong gusto na niyang sumuko pero dumating ang The Voice. Hindi man siya ang nag-champion nakita naman ng lahat ang kanyang potential.

Aside from the songs she sang during The Voice.. (I Can’t Make You Love Me, To Love Somebody, The Climb and Slowly) and the original theme for the teleserye Mirabella (Sabihin Mo Sa Akin), she also added 3 original songs in her first album. Ang debut single na Di Kayang Pilitin ay mismong si Klarisse ang nagsulat. Kakaiba ito sa kanyang usual contest pieces bilang less birit, and more soul ang pagkakabanat niya. “Gusto ko po talagang maging singer-songwriter tapos medyo soul ang music ko.”

Also included are songs composed by Arnee Men­­daros (Sayang Naman) and Toto Sorioso (Magpakailanman). The album likewise features her versions of hit love songs (Everything I Do) I Do It For You (Bryan Adams) and Stuck On You (Lio­nel Richie).

Makakasama ni Klarisse sa kanyang concert sa Teatrino ang kapwa niya MCA Music artists Nyoy Volante and fellow The Voice finalist Paolo Onesa. Tickets are available at PHP 1000 at Ticketworld at 8919999 or ticketworld.com.ph.

Klarisse De Guzman’s self-titled debut album is now out under MCA Music (Universal Music Philip­pines) in CDs at Astroplus and Odyssey outlets and digital downloads via spinnr.ph and iTunes.
