During a media huddle to promote his upcoming concert "BRAVO! Manila" with Bituin Escalante and Jed Madela, The STAR asked what he and the Canadian hitmaker were cooking up given their recent photos together.

The first Filipino and Asian to win "The Voice US" revealed, "I'm excited to share that Michael Bublé is producing my EP."

"Nagawa na namin yung ibang songs, but I think based on our last conversation, ang unang lalabas is a Christmas song. It's a duet with me and him, and we're doing an English-Tagalog version."

The holiday collaboration with Bublé marks a new career highlight for Sofronio. "Nakakatuwa lang talaga because I did my part writing Tagalog lyrics for the first time," the Mindanaoan singer said.

"With the help of the musicians and songwriters in Manila, I consulted them because I'm not really that good at (Tagalog lyrics). But I really tried. So we loved it and kasama yun."

He said the song will likely be released before the ber months kick in — "probably before September." Along with the Christmas duet, he hinted at more songs, including one collaboration with David Foster and another Paul Anka. "For sure, he's (Bublé) going to announce it on his social media."
