Marco Sison’s Isang Pagkakataon Press Conference

Marco Sison

One of the Philippines’ foremost balladeers during the 90’s with classic hits such as My Love Will See You Through and Si Aida, Si Lorna, O Si Fe, Marco Sison took a chance to add yet another hit to his belt when he produced his own album and presented it to various labels. Now, after eight years out of the recording scene, Sison is on a comeback trail and finally releases Isang Pagkakataon, an eight track album of all new material distributed by Polyeast Records.

Marco Sison may have been on a recording hiatus, but he has been active touring with fellow singers Rico J. Puno, Rey Valera and Nonoy Zuñiga, collectively known as the Hitmakers. Their tours abroad and television stints greatly increased each singer’s profiles in recent years. Feeling that producing an album is the next big part in his development as an artist, Sison teamed up with veteran songwriter Vehnee Saturno whom he has worked with in the past and started out recording over at the Saturno Music Studio.

The album’s title track and lead single, Isang Pagkakataon, an easy listening romantic ballad penned by Saturno is currently enjoying radio airplay. Other Saturno compositions in the album are Selos, K’wento, Sa Iisang Puso Mo and Kahit Minsan Pa. Also included in the album is Sison’s own composition Sabik na Puso. Rounding up the album are Ikaw Pa and Dahil Walang Ibang Mamahalin written by Philippine Popular Music Festival finalist Edwin Marollano. Bonus minus one tracks of Isang Pagkakataon and Sabik na Puso are available exclusively on the physical album for those who want to bring out the inner Marco Sison in them.

During the recent press conference for the album held at Patio Carlito, I also got Marco Sison sign in my notebook joining the other OPM artists who already wrote their positive messages. In it he wrote: “Music doesn’t choose age. Music is my life.” I think it is very apt coming from a veteran in the industry like him whose years spent in the business has made him wiser, and more energized.

"Music if my life."

Isang Pagkakataon, distributed by Polyeast Records is already out in record stores nationwide. Sabik na Puso and the rest of the tracks are can be purchased online via MyMusicStore Philippines. Marco Sison will be doing promo tours soon in support of the album.
