This probably isn’t fresh news to you guys anymore since it’s been a while (3-4 days) since I last posted an entry on my blog.
Most of you have probably heard Sarah’s newest single being played on the radio already… I’ve actually read some of the posts over at sarahgeronimo.com and people are already talking about the new song that’s been released.
So, yeah… for those who want an actual and official confirmation, yes… it is in fact the 1st carrier single for Sarah’s upcoming album, “Taking Flight”. The title of the song is, “I’ll Be Alright” (but you guys probably know that already as well. Hehehe!)
You’re probably wondering why the song is already being played when in fact the CDs aren’t out on the record bars yet. Well, for those who are curious to know, normally the 1st carrier single is released a good few weeks before the actual album comes out. That gives the song time to generate a substantial amount of “buzz” and interest before its actual coming out party.
Ok. We’ve finished tackling the topic of the carrier single being released which you guys have already found out yourselves through the airwaves and the forums, so let’s talk about things you probably don’t know yet…
We’ve got an official release date for the album already! Though I’m afraid it won’t be as soon as most of you think. Due to some unavoidable circumstances, the date has been moved back a couple of weeks.
Wanna know the exact date? Just promise me you guys won’t get into a fit of rage… ok?
Release date for “Taking Flight” is on:
<start highlight> AUGUST 22, 2007 <end highlight>
One of the main reasons why is due to the fact that Sarah still has 2 songs left in the upcoming album that she has yet to record. And as we all say, “Haste makes waste”, right? Slowly but surely does it.
Some update, huh? A little bit of what you ALREADY know… and a teensy weensy bit of what you DON’T.
Sorry to put a little cloud over your sunshine. But that’s just the way it is… but hey, it’s still just around the corner, so don’t fret!
**on a lighter note… I’m actually listening to the final mix of my 2 compositions for Sarah, entitled, “MISS” and “KAHIT NA”. Though, still unmastered, the mix has been approved already and I must say, I am very happy with how the musical works have turned out. Can’t wait to hear your comments on my compositions, so I’d really appreciate it if you’d drop me a line in the future (once the album comes out) with your thoughts on my songs. Thanks a bunch!
thanks for the updates, chuckster! we’re ok with the slight delay…better than coming up with two singles that are half-baked.
Taking Flight is gonna be worth the wait! 🙂
Hi outrigger!
My sentiments exactly. Nevermind the slight delay… it WILL come out anyways, right? Just take comfort in the fact that these things are necessary to make the album much better. Yes, it’ll be worth the wait. 🙂
Thanks for dropping by! Hope to see you here again soon!
Big thanks Sir Chukie!! August is just around the corner…we’re still excited!hehe..(jump!)
oh by the way…can you tell us who’s the composer of “I’ll be Alright’, if it’s okay? sana….plsss!lol
Hey Shai!
Yeah… the composer of “I’ll Be Alright” is Louie Ocampo. Making the song the 1st carrier single was a standing commitment by Vic del Rosario to Louie Ocampo long before production went underway. So there. 🙂
heya Chuckster!
thanks for the update! when you mentioned the release date will be delayed, i was thinking it will be after her US tour (around september i believe?), so she will be in Pinas to personally promote it. so when August 22 popped out, it’s still good news. hehe!
hope your songs will be released as well! you will definitely hear from folks once they get their hands on the album. hehehe!
woah! I really like the message of the song….very positive. thanks for answering my question..now, i can sleep…hehe
SGP:
No problemo! Yeah… hope you guys like my songs once you hear them. I finally heard them with backup vocals and I really enjoyed both tracks. Can’t wait for the album to come out as well! 😛
SHAI:
Hey shai! You’re welcome! G’night! Heheh… 😀
hi chuck! thanks for your detailed update again 🙂 though i crave to hear all the songs, I would agree with you guys to wait for a couple more weeks and get things done well. I got to listen to the song and its nice easy listening one, though very short. I’ll be more patient to wait before I could listen to your two compositions. I remember your “Bakit” again, its nice too 😀
Hi Cryst!
Haha… thanks for still remembering “Bakit”. Nice to know you like the song. If you liked that, Im pretty sure you’ll like “Kahit Na”. A very light heartbroken song with a melody hook that’s easy to recall and sing along to. 🙂
