Former Pinoy Big Brother: Lucky 7 housemate Vivoree speaks about becoming fearless in love in her new single, “Matapang.”
“It’s a song about being brave in love. Let’s say may gusto ka sa isang tao or mahal mo ‘yung isang tao, nung una ‘di mo alam kung paano i-express [‘yung feelings] at takot ka pa (let’s say you like a person, at the outset you don’t know how to express your feelings and you’re still scared). But in the long run, you’d have the courage to admit to yourself na ‘okay gusto ko itong taong ‘to (yes, I like this person),’” she said.
“Matapang,” a teaser for her upcoming solo EP set for release this year, was composed by Danielle Balagtas, produced by Ashley Aunor, and released under Star Music.
Vivoree said she will showcase a different side of herself in her coming-of-age EP by working with some of the country’s most talented female songwriters and producers.
‘PINOY Big Brother’ alum Vivoree.
“‘Yung mga songs ko before and the way I project myself, iba talaga kasi inosenteng Vivoree pa ‘yung nakilala ng mga tao (it was different because it was still an innocent Vivoree that people saw). This time it’s a different version of me, mas matapang at mas may strength na (bolder and more courageous) to speak up for herself and her personal experiences,” she said.
During her stay in PBB Vivoree wrote her first single, “Kaya Pa,” which she released in 2016. She also collaborated with former Hashtags member Charles Kieron on the digital album CK & Vivoree in 2019. Last year, she teamed up with Jon Guelas for the duet version of “Did I Let You Go.”
Aside from her music career, Vivoree has also appeared in shows, such as the IWantTFC series Hello Stranger, Tara, G! and He’s Into Her.
