Krissy and Ericka releases sophomore album Twelve: Fifty One

Ericka and Krissy

Krissy and Ericka first made their mark via their YouTube videos doing cover versions of current hits. After releasing their debut self-titled album back in 2009, the sister duo returns with their sophomore record entitled Twelve: Fifty One under MCA Music.

The young sisters who are still in their teens had an early start in music when they were encouraged by their parents to learn how play music instruments. Krissy first started with the flute and there’s indeed an early video of Pachelbel’s Canon in D with her on the flute. Ericka on the other hand started with the guitar and eventually taught her younger sister by 10 months how to play it. After just a few years, they now have two albums (that are also released in other South East Asian territories) under their belt and a very promising career.

Right before they went on tour of neighboring South East Asian countries along with another YouTube discovery AJ Rafael, the sisters met with several bloggers including myself for an intimate chat regarding their experience in the industry so far and of course, about their second album.

One of the things that the sisters and their parents as well are excited about is their upcoming video for the single 12:51 which was penned by Krissy. After getting through a 14 hour shoot at the PNR Station and North Harbor in Manila, they can’t wait for the video to be aired and they showed raw footage from the shoot which really showed in a new and very interesting perspective several locations here in the metro. And Ericka also got to utilize her acting skills in the video as well like she did when she had a part in the recent Metro Manila Film Festival entry Segunda Mano.

Krissy and Ericka really pushed for 12:51, one of their original tracks in the album, to be the lead single and the video. Krissy even said that she still can’t write songs for other people yet since she is possessive of her songs. But an exception would be Yeng Constantino since both of them are huge fans of her.

The album consists of 10 tracks (and one bonus track) that feature the sisters’ clear and soothing vocals that remind me of drinking hot apple cinnamon tea: sweet, comforting with a hint of spice. Six of the tracks are their versions of current hits but what I am more interested in their originals. The original tracks are Rewind which features guest vocals by AJ Rafael, In Your Arms, 12:51 and Anything which was written and featuring international artist Marié Digby. The Lamars also make an appearance in the album in the track Rocketeer. The bonus track Change the World is also included in the compilation album 90’s Music Comes Alive also by MCA Music.
