Something new from Kiana V
Kiana Valenciano, simply Kiana V is set to drop her new single “Sweet Release” as produced by De’la.
The dance track, which Kiana co-wrote with Rosemarie Tan and Philippe dela Pena, showcases her unique vocal style, even as it also makes you want to rock and sway with its catchy hook and irresistible rhythm.
But “Sweet Release” is just a taste of what’s to come.
Kiana has been hard at work in the studio lately.
During a recent interview, Kiana shared some insights into the evolution of her sound.
According to Kiana, she’s currently leaning more toward a pop vibe, reminiscent of her father Gary Valenciano’s iconic style. She also revealed that she’s been working on a lot of Tagalog songs.
“I’ve started writing, and some of my favorite songs are in Tagalog,” says Kiana.
“I’m really, really excited. It’s different to express ourselves in our native tongue. It’s really moving, a different experience. I’m having too much fun.”
Her excitement was palpable as she talked about her upcoming album. However, she refrained from giving away too many details. All she said was that if all goes well, the album will drop sooner rather than later.
“It’s kind of two years in the making,” Kiana says of the album. “So you’ll hear a lot of my growth through my storytelling, and also sonically; the sound of the music, the genre, has been changing as well. It’s different from what I’ve released in the past, but a good kind of different.”
Kiana will perform alongside her father again in “Pure Energy: One Last Time” scheduled at the SM Mall of Asia Arena on May 10.
All proceeds from the show will benefit the Valenciano family’s Shining Light Foundation, continuing Gary’s legacy of giving back through his music.
