Aubrey Caraan chooses singing
AFTER an experience filled detour into acting on TV and film, singer-actress Aubrey Caraan goes back to her first love in music and with a newfound love for writing. She returns with a brand new single titled “Sana,” which she proudly co-wrote with Sean Cedro. This surging, mid-tempo R&B-flavored pop track takes the former Pop Girl into new musical territory.
The moody, electro-pop sounding “Sana” is Caraan’s first foray into songwriting. It was composer Cedro who pushed her to write. “It was hard at first but eventually, I was able to enjoy the process,” she told Music Geek.
As with anything, she first had to learn the basics of lyric writing.
“Mahirap pala kung ilalagay mo sa lyrics yung nararamdaman mo.
Hindi pala dapat siya literal. Dapat may meaning, may puso, may bigat. Doon ako nahirapan but I learned eventually. And once we knew the direction of where the song wanted to go, it became a smoother writing process for me.”
Caraan describes Sana as a song about “wishful love,” adding, “It’s lyrics [come out] like a dream you want to become reality, and it’s also about hope.”
Asked what her hopes and dreams are personally, the artist talked about be finding success in her career.
“I’ve been doing this for a long time now. I started as a music artist even before I acted in movies. Sana I’ll have a long career doing these things, especially music.
“Ang meron kasi sa music na hindi ko mahahanap sa iba is yung puso,” Caraan continued. “Sa music kasi nag-ko-connect lahat. I mean, different songs mean different things to me — some songs give me hope, give me happiness, or nakakatulong sa akin to relieve stress. Iba talaga ang nabibigay sa akin ng music that’s why I keep on pushing on [with mine].”
She smiled as she said, “Nakaka-proud singing my own song so I’m definitely going to write some more.”
