Say It Clear Say It Loud is a love letter to the world

The Philippine Star

|

November 24, 2024

I wanted to create a stronger presence for the LGBT community in relevant social spaces so our messages of hope, love, acceptance, and equality can be heard loud and clear.

- BOY ABUNDA

Say It Clear Say It Loud is a love letter to the world

This inspired me to venture into songwriting and produce a six-track extended play (EP) project in partnership with Star Music.

The songs in this LGBT-themed OPM album, Say It Clear Say It Loud, are now available on several audio-streaming sites. This is the first LGBT-themed EP in the Philippines.

I'm grateful for having LGBT artists Raven Heyres, John Mark Saga, and Anton Antenorcruz as part of the album.

Vocal coach Jerwin Nicomedez was instrumental, so I could meet these three excellent singers who lent their amazing voices and brought the lyrics to life. It was great seeing Raven, John Mark, and Jerwin again after the album's media conference when they guested in an episode of "The Interviewer" on my YouTube channel.

Raven and John happily shared that their family and friends are singing Bilang, one of the tracks in the album. It's inspiring to know that people support and celebrate the music with us. Jerwin added, "May mga ganoon, Tito Boy. Iyong sa ABS, may mga nakakasabong ako biglang kinakanta. Ganoon kalakas iyong recall niya."
