His digital comeback concert, to be directed by Paolo Valenciano, was announced in April. In an Instagram clip last month, Darren shared his preparations for the show.
“I’m going to be doing stuff in this concert that, you know, are close to my heart. Marami kaming prine-prepare na ( We are preparing a lot of) prod numbers that kind of all related to my life, my journey in music,” Darren said.
Aside from the concert, the singer will also be releasing a new single on May 28.
In July 2020, Darren and singer-songwriter Jayda dropped their song collaboration, “Sana Tayo Na.” ABS-CBN said in its news release that it is “a lighthearted take on expecting that the stars would align and unite two people in love someday.”
