Hugs, kisses, and Good luck for Riversyd!
August 9, 2010Wow!This Ppop group is one hot co-ed group! They remind me of Dice & K9 during the “Itsumo” days. After the enormous number of protest against Ppop, they might be put to silence by this group.
Riversyd, preparing to debut, says that their group is about “loving your own culture, empowering the marginal, and embracing change.”
According to Popsicles.ph Riversyd…started with a project of Kamaru Productions and aims to “give Pinoy Pop Music a whole new twist — keeping up with the global trends in popular music while channeling the sounds and visuals that make us distinctly Filipinos.”
Furthermore, the group is composed of 2 girls from Pampanga and 3 boys from Tarlac, namely Racko (Rock-O), Jhoan (Jo), AJ (Aer), Ghette (Jet) and [I just love how they come up with this name!!!]Ryan (Ryde).
and there are rumors that more members will be added to the group. (I just hope they won’t be like the other kpop group who admits members and kicks out every single released…because sometimes it frustrates the fans and that is not really the culture in Philippine Pop…just look at the legendary bands who are still staying intact and original…anyway…)
What I love about this upcoming group are:
1. knowing that they are independently produced by Kamaru Production (thanks to Paul Laxamana [his name suddenly marked in my mid]
2. There seems to be young members that really adds up the juice
3. And what refines the flavor best is the lyrics and style!!! I’m sure Francis M. will be very proud.
4. They seem to have the moves that any pop expects…however, we might be looking for a harcore.
5. They are TRULY ORIGINAL!!!!
***I have this commitment that I will not but pirated CDs who are produced or with involvement of FIlipinos, however there are instances (where there are singers that irritate me so much, I bought several pirated CDs of their album and just throw it away…as a protest…:)) <evil>
***But, I will certainly buy the CD of this group, IF they met my expectations. Though, I encourage fellow music lovers to advocate our own talents.
We’ll be watching…RIVERSYD!
