THESE DAYS, most albums released by local artists are revivals of past hits. Not so in the case of Janno Gibbs' new album titled "Orig" simply because all its 11 songs are original compositions written by Janno himself. "Sa tingin ko, nagamit na lahat ng songs na puede i-revive so I presented the songs I've composed sa GMA Records at nagustuhan naman nila," says Janno at the album's launching.
THESE DAYS, most albums released by local artists are revivals of past hits. Not so in the case of Janno Gibbs' new album titled "Orig" simply because all its 11 songs are original compositions written by Janno himself. "Sa tingin ko, nagamit na lahat ng songs na puede i-revive so I presented the songs I've composed sa GMA Records at nagustuhan naman nila," says Janno at the album's launching.
Which comes first when he composes a song, : the melody or the lyrics? "Before anything else, kailangan may theme or story muna, then the melody comes followed by the lyrics. Most of my songs kasi tell a story, like 'Haven't Stopped Loving You' na sabi nila, patungkol ko raw sa misis kong si Bing (Loyzaga). It's about a couple na naghiwalay then they see each other again by chance. The girl asks: How are you? The guys says okay, but deep within, he can't say na I haven't stopped loving you."
The album's carrier single, "Igiling", is a dance number and those who hear it say it reminds them of Ricky Martin with it's spunky salsa rhythm. "Hindi ko naman siya ginaya. Na-inspire lang ako sa tunog ng mga kanta niya. One favorite song of mine is 'Ang Aking Puso', kasi first ko makagawa ng pan-duet talaga, sagutan yung babae't lalaki, at si Kyla pa ang ka-duet ko na gusto ko talagang makasama sa pagkanta."
Other great cuts are "Ready to Fall", "Don't Know Why", "Obvious Ba", "Para-Paraan", "Payong Kaibigan", and his theme songs for "Asero" and "Gagambino". A special cut is "Huling Babae" that the press says is dedicated to Bing who, in the presscon of "Paano Ba ang Mangarap" said she's really pleased that Janno has changed for the better.. "Well, I really try to please her, kasi nga she's diagnosed to have hypertension after magkasakit nang magkasunod ang parents niya."
Their eldest Allysa is now 19. Has she had a boyfriend? "Nakailan na, hindi lang isa."
Is he an overprotective dad? "Not really. It helps na Bing and I are young parents so we understand her when she goes out on gimmick with friends. She's intelligent naman and we trust her. I'm more concerned about her safety kapag ginagabi ng uwi. So I always call her to make sure she gets home safely."
Janno's "Orig" is available in digital limited edition with 2GB capacity in Wellcom, Laptopzone and MP3 stores. Digital downloading is also available and full CD release will be by end of February. It will be launched officiall at SOP, including the music video of "Igiling" with Mark Herras, LJ Reyes and Chynna Ortaleza as guests.
