Julie Anne San Jose Releases 3rd Album ‘Chasing The Light,’ Tops iTunes PH Chart
After the success of her self-titled debut album which reached diamond status and her sophomore album “Deeper” which was awarded 3 times Platinum, Asia’s Pop Sweetheart Julie Anne San Jose releases her third studio album under GMA Records called “Chasing the Light.”
It looks like Julie Anne is on track for another Platinum Record Award this year as the carrier single of the said album–“Naririnig Mo Ba”–topped the iTunes Philippines chart last June on the day of its release.
Here’s the Chika Minute report on the amazing feat of the Kapuso songtress:
“Naririnig Mo Ba” bested “Trumpets” by Sak Noel and Savi feat. Sean Paul, “Secret Love Song” by Little Mix feat. Jason Derulo and “Monster” by EXO.
The song, by the way, is one of Julie Anne’s original compositions in the album. Its corresponding music video has been filmed already and it will feature her rumored boyfriend Benjamin Alves.
Here’s a snippet of the song:
During the blogcon for “Chasing the Light” on Thursday, July 28, at the 17th floor of GMA Network Building, Julie Anne said that her new album will reflect how her music has evolved through the years.
“‘Chasing the Light’ is more mature in the way na nag-evolve ‘yung genre. It’s different kasi yung nauna kong albums with GMA Records, parang medyo ballad. I think my fans and I are on the same page when it comes to the kind of music I would make. I think they will like the album just how they liked my EP,” she said.
Here are excerpts of our interview with Julie Anne:
On her collaboration with international hiphop recording artist C-Tru:
“Nauna siyang mag-record sa akin. I think nirecord niya yung parts niya sa US kasi taga US siya tapos naka-embed na dun ‘yung boses niya and then ipinadala na lang sa amin yung arrangement and minus one, ‘yung instrumentals sa records so hindi ko pa siya nakasama and hopefully mag-meet kami kasi ano e nag-collab kami tapos hindi kami nag-meet.”
On the Status of Her Lovelife:
“I’m just happy. There’s no need to rush naman kasi it’s really important to build a good rapport with that person kasi ang hirap naman kung nagmamadali ka tapos magpe-fail lang yung relationship so sayang. So now we’re getting to know each other.”
On upcoming gigs and concerts:
“Magkakaroon po ako ng ‘In Control’ tour both here and abroad. I think dito po parang Cebu and Dagupan and then abroad po parang Canada, 5 cities or 4 cities po ata. ‘Yung dito po nationwide will happen some time in October and then ‘yung abroad baka sa September.”
“Chasing the Light” is now available in selected Astroplus and Astro Vision outlets nationwide. The digital format of the album is also available for download on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify and Google Play.
