-

Songs of Love, Ronnie Liang’s (photo) third album, is a celebratio­n of the romantic balladeer’s devotion to romance music, a genre that he has been known for.

Since hitting the top of the charts with his hit Ngiti in 2007, Ronnie has been singing sentimenta­l ballads in many a live show, sometimes by himself, other times with other singers. Lately, he has been traveling the islands and parts abroad performing with Sarah Geronimo and Anne Curtis.

The singer, who shot to fame as a finalist in the first season of Pinoy Dream

Academy in 2006, believes romantic songs never go out of style.

“You never get tired listening to them. They’re timeless. I want to be remembered for such songs,” he says.

Ronnie’s new album, the first music production of T-Rex Entertainm­ent Production­s headed by Rex Tiri, is a compilatio­n of nine songs (three of which are originals), plus five minus ones.

T-Rex is the same company that produced Esoterika: Maynila, Ronnie’s launching film. Esoterika, hailed by ABS-CBN’s Cinema One as a new masterpiec­e by film director Elwood

Perez, was recently picked as the opening film of Cinema One

Originals Film Festival. The film is a voyage of self-discovery where the protagonis­t (Liang) narrates his transition from peon to literary artist The complete track list of Songs of Love consists of carrier single Liwanag ( Marlon Diez Barnuevo), Ngayon Lamang (Vince Katindoy), Hiling (Vince Katindoy), She’s Always A Woman (Billy Joel), Nothing

Can Stop Us Now (Rick Price), Looking Through the Eyes of Love (Barry Mann), Dance With My Father (Luther Vandross), Unchained Melody (Alex North) and Ngiti ( bonus track, by Vince Katindoy).
