Often you’d hear artists say that they don’t want to be boxed within a genre as they’d rather explore different
types of music in expressing themselves. Can’t tell that to someone like Sitti who, admit it, is the first Filipino singer that comes to mind when you encounter a music niche called bossa nova.
Small wonder that for people behind Sitti’s latest recording, simply called “Sakto,” the challenge is to provide her with something that you can rightfully identify with, to quote her, “my kind of bossa nova.”See, that’s humility from someone signed to Icons Music, a division of Widescope Entertainment Corporation that has backed her up even at the height of a music scene-paralyzing pandemic.
The track, to be dropped on digital stores Friday , is composed by Jazz Nicolas, member of legend-in-their-own-right Itchyworms, and Wally Acalola. “With every song I am blessed to perform,” she shared, “I try my best to approach and infuse it with my truth. Sometimes in the course of recording, I do depart from how it is usually sung in the demo, but with ‘Sakto,’ I think the vocal arrangement was super on point already there was no need for me to embellish. I just enjoyed the recording ride and the playfulness of the lyrics.”
