Manila Bulletin - March 13, 2006
from the Manila Bulletin on March 13, 2006:
Variety in the music scene is good. Its respite from trends that reminds us mainstream music is cyclical so there’s room for every musical genre of regardless of prevailing clime. Who knows the one you hate now and declaire as so yesterday is actually just a preview into the future, eh?
Thus, the advent of boy band Intensity that will be releasing their debut album in a few days. Produced by Events and Artists Management Office, Kirsten Music and Entertainment, and distributed by Ivory Music, the album will feature songs by hitmaker Vehnee Saturno. We attended their soft album launch at Thrams Restaurant and Bar a few weeks ago where they sang some of these that reminded us of songs by Backstreet Boys, Boyzone and N’Sync (remember them?).
The boys also sang a couple of covers as "Thank You" and "Borderline" (yup, that Madonna dance classic-turned-R&B ballad). The first was especially dedicated to Mila Garcia Glodova.
By the way, the Metro Infanta Foundation, also announced that night their donation to the Mount Carmel School of Infanta (MCSI) amounting to $ 10,000 on top of a $ 16,000 pledge to be used for youth camp projects, computer allocation funds, project management and scholarship programs for the young ones of Infanta, Quezon.
A hat was also passed around to solicit donations from the Garcia clan and guests for victims of the Guinsaugon landslide in St. Bernard, Southern Leyte. The amount put up that night was doubled by Mila all out of the generosity of her heart.
The Kirsten Music and Entertainment group, also the name of their newly established record company, is headed by President Beth Guitierrez and Finance Manager Marissa Monte.
Intensity members (whom you will all be reading more on in this column once their album is out) are KC, Nino, John Ray and Beige.
