The CompanY, the country’s premiere vocal singing quartet, makes a huge splash this February with an album launch and a concert scheduled for Valentine’s Day.
The group composed of Annie Quintos, Moy Ortiz, OJ Mariano, and Sweet Plantado will meet and greet their fans today, 5 February, at the Ayala Malls The 30th for the Gitna grand album launch. Fans can grab a copy of the album available in a special-edition CD format that features karaoke backing tracks.
“It’s no secret that most Filipinos are natural singers. It’s because of this that we decided to release the minus one/backing tracks of half of the Gitna album so that it gives our audience a chance to sing lead vocals on these beautiful OPM songs,” Ortiz said.
The group’s 29th studio album, released under Star Music, consists of 10 original and reimagined tracks: “Ambon,” “Disco Plantito, Disco Plantita,” “Hideaway,” “Kumusta Ka,” “Sa May Bintana,” “‘Sang Tawag Mo Lang,” “Sukob Na,” “Sumakabilang Puso,” “Walang Sayang,” and its title track “Gitna.”
The album’s CD version also features a bonus track. “Our campy/novelty disco song, ‘Disco Plantito, Disco Plantita,’ has a new remix entitled ‘Discoteca Pandemica,’ a remix that harks back to the flamboyant days of disco,” Ortiz said. “So the minus ones and the bonus remix make the Gitna CD album a very special collectible for OPM lovers and audiophiles alike.”
