The wait is over for fans of juan karlos and Kyle Echarri as the singers and actors release their latest collaboration, Kasing Kasing, today. juan karlos first teased their collaboration last January 6 on his Broadcast Channel on Instagram, which he also posted on Facebook, “Magre-release ako ng song with Kyle, baka this month. Tapos Bisaya song sya. Haha! Exciting! Sana magustuhan ninyo.”Written in Bisaya (or Cebuano), a language close to juan karlos and Kyle Echarri’s heart, the soulful ballad tenderly touches and tugs at the heartstrings. “We’ve been wanting to collaborate on a song for a while now and it was only right that we made it a Bisaya song as we’re both Cebuanos,” Kyle reveals. “The Bisaya language has so many different ways to express emotions.” The music and lyrics were carefully created, produced, and arranged by juan karlos himself, which explains the compelling connection and emotional expression that juan karlos is best known for.

The two artists came together to write a detailed narration of how a person feels after one gets heartbroken. “Ang akong kasing kasing / Giguba na nimo / Unsaon man ni nako / Tungod nimo kay nahadlok nasad / Muhigugmag usab,” and so writes juan karlos, cutting deep into a universal feeling of loss in the context of love. While the notes initially present themselves as something more somber, the lyrics will surely cut deep once you hear the sting from the two The Voice Kids alumni. Their vocal styles complement each other, and their harmony takes you to a space where the listener can safely sing along to express the feelings of suffering or the fear of loving again after experiencing loss and disappointment.Kyle would also like to dedicate this song to his loyal fans, “I love you all. Thank you for all the love that you’ve been giving me throughout the years. It’s been a while since I was able to give you a piece of my heart through music. But I promise that this year, I have more things on the way.”

With this release, the goal for juan karlos and Kyle Echarri is to really hero the language that many speak but rarely garners attention in the mainstream. Following its universally relatable theme, Kasing Kasing could be the one that changes the charts and captures the hearts of many.
