Travel back in Time wiTh ‘Oras’
Jason Marvin is starting 2023 on a bright note with “Oras.”
Brimming with lush, gentle arrangements and laid-back vocals, the piano-driven ballad finds the Cornerstone Entertainment artist traveling back in time in an attempt to amend a romantic relationship. It touches on the idea of admitting one’s mistakes and using them as motivation to become a better person.
“Mistakes will be made and regrets will always be a part of life, but we must learn to live with it, grow stronger, and continue singing the songs that we’re meant to sing,” the singer-songwriter said in a statement.
Directed by King Bingcang and written by Jason himself, the music video of “Oras” conveys the essence of the lyrics in a straightforward manner. It stars social media influencer Albert Nicolas as a time traveler trying to win back the love of his life, and up-and-coming actress Roxie Smith, who is repeatedly pursued in the story.
“Oras” is written and produced by Marvin and co-arranged by Nick Lazaro who has worked with a diverse crop of musicians, ranging from alternative rock outfit Oh, Flamingo! to hyper-pop soloist Pikoy.
“Oras” is out now on all digital music platforms worldwide via Sony Music Philippines.
