Janella Salvador ‘reimagines’her music
JANELLA Salvador might be known as a pop singer when she’s not slaying her acting roles in TV series and movies. But today, the 25-year-old is returning to her first love with a new sound.
“I always loved jazz, it’s something that I’m always attracted to even as a child. I feel like in my past life I was probably a jazz bar singer because it really speaks to me,” Salvador said at the launch of her new single, “headtone.”
Headtone is a sultry single about the tension of waiting for a passionate rendezvous with one’s lover.
“I wish I could say I wrote this song, but this was from the brilliant Kiko Salazar. When I first heard this song, I fell in love with it instantly because it’s the vibe I’m looking for,” Salvador added.
The latest Star Music release comes a month before Salvador’s first major concert.
“Janella Reimagined: The 10th Anniversary Concert” is set on April 19 at the New Frontier Theater. Salvador will have special guests Martin Nievera, Jane De Leon, Marlo Mortel, Darren, Jenine Desiderio, Arizona Brandy, Brigiding, Lady Morgana and Miss Jade So.
The Kapamilya actress-singer is thrilled for the chance to showcase her evolution as an artist in the show.
“Even if I’ve been singing since I was young, many people still don’t know that I’m a singer. Many people know me as an actress and I feel like there are so many sides to me that people haven’t seen. This is why we named the concert ‘Reimagined,’” Salvador shared.
With the release of “headtone,” her upcoming single “Karma” and her anniversary concert in April, Salvador is more than grateful to finally have a hand in her music career.
“I’m excited [with my new music] because for the first time, this is the kind of music that I really want to put out. It’s not that I don’t like my previous songs, but I was only 16 years old when I released my first album. I wasn’t really in control of the things that I would want to put out.
“I’m grateful to be able to assert myself in my music today and do more of jazz, R&B and chill music.”
Tickets to “Reimagined” are available on Ticketnet outlets and ticketnet.com.ph.
