Sitti

Sitti, who has been churning out remakes before, has come out with a cool, original song, called To Forget You, which became her first ever #1 hit in my OPM countdown.  I hope she continues to write more original songs, kasi susuportahan ko talaga siya, of course, if the song also appeals to me.

OPM Music Feature: Oktaves

One look at the composition of the band, the Oktaves and one can bring up the word, 'superband'.  With Ely Buendia at the helm and doing the vocals, and supported byChris Padilla (currently of Hilera) also on vocals and guitars, Nitoy Adriano (long-time axeman of The Jerks) on lead guitar, Ivan Garcia on bass (Hilera) and Bobby Padilla on drums (Hilera). 

The band's initial offering, K.U.P.A.L. is a solid radio song which should scale my own OPM countdown top 10 soon enough.

Novelty songs visit my personal countdown from time to time.  This time around, it's from a French artist called Pulcino Pio, whose voice here is made to sound like a machine or is that a chipmunk?  Nevertheless, Poussin Pio sounds cute!  The song has peaked at #35.

Well, a poussin is a chick in French, not a woman, but the baby chicken, and apparently in French, the sound they make is Piou!  So Poussin Piou is basically just an inane title - like a nursery rhyme song targeted for kids and teenagers.
