Zia |
I’ve
always said many times before that my only complaint regarding Zia’s self-titled
debut album was that it was too short for it only had six tracks. Now, there’s
no reason for me to complain for there are ten tracks that make up Zia’s
sophomore album entitled, A Little Bit of
Lovin’ released by Polyeast Records.
A Little Bit of Lovin’ lends Zia’s
refreshing and jazz influenced alto voice to more varied music styles like
blues, rock, rap and folk. This album displays a lot of texture and color via organic
music arrangements highlighted by guitar and trumpet solos. All this showcases
Zia’s growth as an artist in such a short amount of time in the music industry.
Zia
teams up once again with Jungee Marcelo for the album’s lead single Pasakalye and Bakit Hindi Ka Crush Ng Crush Mo which is the theme song of the
movie of the same title. Marcelo was the man behind Ako Na Lang, Zia’s breakout hit from her previous album and now
considered as her signature song. Zia shows that she can follow Marcelo’s
footsteps in composing through four tracks namely Under and Over, On the Run,
the album’s title track, Little Bit of
Lovin’ and Sweet Memories. An
unusual set of covers, the White Stripes’ Seven
Nation Army and Asin’s classic Masdan
Mo Ang Kapaligiran, both chosen by Zia herself reveals her diverse music
tastes. And probably my favorite track in the album, Katulad ng Iba, sees Zia collaborating with rapper Gloc-9. This
song was previously released for an anti-bullying campaign and it pleased me
very much to have it included in this album.
Another
thing I noticed in this album is that Zia smiled a lot more in the photos included
in the packaging compared to the photos from her previous album. And it’s a lot
more colorful as well. I may probably be looking too much into things but I
feel like this is another way, aside from the music, for Zia to show more of
herself. And because of this, I won’t be surprised if this album gets more than
just a little bit of lovin’ from listeners, old and new alike.
