Singer/actor Sam Concepcion taps into the power of youth as he embarks a return to the concert stage with No Limitations happening this March 15, 2014, 7:00 PM at the Music Museum in San Juan.

Produced by Hills & Dreams Events Concepts Co. and line produced by STAGES, No Limitations is a unique endeavor as it has assembled a relatively young and yet promising team for this concert: stage director Paolo Valenciano who has earned raves for his directorial stint with Sponge Cola’s Maximum Capacity and his dad, Gary V’s On Higher Ground, choreographer Kevin Intal and the La Salle Dance Company-Street aiming to showcase Sam’s peerless dancing skills, and musical director Marvin Querido.

Sam announced during the concert’s press conference that KZ Tandingan and Tippy Dos Santos will be joining him on stage but he has remained tight lipped when asked about who else might make an appearance on that night. With Tippy on board, fans can expect the two to perform Panalangin from I Do Bidoo Bidoo and Dati, the winning song from the 2013 Philippine Popular Music Festival which was also a breakout hit from last year. These two tunes join No Limitations and Mahal Na Mahal, which are Sam’s latest hits that came out from his current album Infinite.

And as an ultimate teaser, Sam said that there will be a big announcement at the concert itself. I remain clueless as to what nature this announcement could be but it’s something that Sam’s fans have to see for themselves at the concert.

Sam Concepcion’s Infinite Press Conference

Sam Concepcion

Sporting a new look and a more mature sound (as well as an impressive biceps), Sam Concepcion sets his sights towards an international market with the release of his latest album, Infinite. One of the rare and genuine triple threats in the Philippine entertainment scene, Sam showed exactly what sets him apart from his peers during a press conference held at the Insomnia Bar and Restaurant.

Released by Universal Records, Infinite is a collection of 10 tracks featuring mostly up tempo, R&B and dance music by an impressive line up of composers, producers and collaborators. The album is led by the single No Limitations, composed by Billy Crawford, Kris Lawrence and Marcus Davis. The song’s edgy music video features Solenn Heussaf and its production values make can make it appealing to the foreign market. Someone who has already penetrated the foreign market (specifically Indonesia), Christian Bautista, contributes the song Love, Love, Love for this album. Originally recorded as a duet between Christian and Sam, Rescue You is also in the album but now as a solo track for Sam. Other songwriters and collaborators appearing in the album are JayR for I’m the One, Q-York for She Drives Me Crazy, RunManila and Dello for Di Ka Nag-Iisa, and Tippy Dos Santos for Panalangin which was featured in the film I Do Bidoo Bidoo.

The current single Mahal na Mahal, an Archie D original, has just been recently released. This version had some updates in the arrangement like making it more contemporary and by including a key change towards the end while retaining the overall flavor and feel of the original.

Clearly, Sam, his label Universal Records and his management Stages Talents are looking forward to releasing this album in territories outside the Philippines. I do hope that the tracks in Filipino will still be included in the international editions of Infinite. If Korean songs can find their way in here, there’s no question that the Filipino songs in this album with their infectious melodies can hook foreign listeners.

Sam Concepcion’s Infinite, released by Universal Records is now out in record stores nationwide. No Limitations and the rest of the album tracks are available for download via MyMusicStore Philippines and iTunes.
