NEW BREED
by Jay Park
After a one-year hiatus from singing, K-pop
star Jay Park returns with a bang. His new
record — a collaboration with American
producer Rob Knox, rap group Dynamic
Duo and other top artists — reveals a fresh
new sound for the singer/songwriter (he
penned 80 percent of the songs). Leading
the 15-track selection is
Know Your Name,
an addictive blend of hip-hop, pop and Euro
dance. Park is in good company: Knox has
worked with Justin Timberlake, Rihanna,
Chris Brown and Britney Spears. Watch out
for him as he tours Manila this month at
Megaworld Lifestyle Malls.

The band — made up of Bamboo alums
Nathan Azarcon, Ira Cruz and Vic Mercado,
and erstwhile Radioactive Sago Project
members Junji Lerma on guitars and
Wowee Posadas — has launched a new
EP and tagged it “Kung-Fu Rock”. Says
Nathan, “We wanted a funny title for it.
It’s so dark as it is.” The album contains
four tracks that resonate with universal
themes:
Tamalee
is about insatiable greed;
Di Mo Na Kaya
mourns separation and
loss;
Torquemada
is about pain and torture;
while
Dahil Sa Iyo
speaks about love.
