CHINESE New Year brings delightful surprises.
One of them is the release of Philip Mahoney's self-titled album under Viva Records.
It is a landmark album both for the 23 year-old Fil-Am-Irish from Orlando, Florida and guest artist pop princess, Sarah Geronimo.
Philip is a saxophonist and the concept is to bring down the musical instrument to the masses.
Vic del Rosario commissioned hitmaker songwriter and co-producer Vehnee Saturno to gather OPM songs familiar to all and what a list he came up with. Choiced cuts include: All My Life, Ikaw, Kung Para sa Yo, Paano Na Kaya and the carrier single Into the Sun, a Vehnee Saturno original with lyrics by his niece Annabelle, and the lone cut with vocals by Sarah. It is inspirational and how we wished there were more of Sarah and sax which spells musical magic.
The backliner notes reads: It is such a huge honor and blessing to have a song together with you on my first album. You really brought the song to life with your beautiful voice and talent. This is definitely a dream come true."
The ruggedly handsome Philip developed a love for sax at age 15. He performed for American retirees in Orlando during his teens. The Filipino community of Central Florida started featuring Philip in their major events like Philfest (Tampa) and Filipino Pride Day (Jacksonville). He went to perform in Disney 2008 and 2009 Asian Expo and in Universal Studios Orlando for Asian Heritage show.
Every woman can relate to a love song specially if the crooner happens to be Jack Jones.
