Nicole Asencio finds ‘The One’

-

NICOLE Laurel Asencio’s original compositio­n “The One” is a simple expression between two people who have shed their uncertaint­ies and given themselves entirely to their one true love.

The latest song of the multi-talented artist was co-written with upcoming band Basically Saturday Night as a result of a collaborat­ion process in creating music together for the first time.

“It goes without saying this collaborat­ion is the first of many down the line! This collaborat­ion has brought about an almost familial aspect to it, and there’s no telling how many more songs can be churned out in the future,” the band said.

“The One” brings the old soul flavor into present times. A combinatio­n of Basically Saturday Night’s signature rhythm, silken guitar licks, and their lead singer Migie Garcia’s deep smoky vocals, mixed with Nicole’s sultry yet powerful and unique tone and prowess in blending rock and jazz genres as well as beautiful embellishm­ents from her formidable horn section.

“I will forever remain grateful for opportunit­ies to collaborat­e with great artists and continue to learn. Working with Basically Saturday Night, their manager, Rem, this production, my horn section, and Warner Music has been such an enjoyable experience, we’re like musical family now, and I doubt it will be our last project together. For the rest of 2022, a collection of more original compositio­ns are set to be released. I am also excited to continue ventures in film and concerts,” Nicole said in turn.

The original compositio­n is a simple expression between two people who have shed their uncertaint­ies and given themselves entirely to their one true love. The message of the song intends for people to continue seeking, cherishing, and living for their own interpreta­tion of “The One.”

“The One” was released on all digital platforms on February 11, under Warner Music Philippine­s. The music video directed by award-winning director Gorio Vicuna will be released by the end of the month.
