KRIS LAWRENCE : Fresh OPM Icon!
KRIS LAWRENCE is officially a hitmaker with his ‘IKAW PALA’ now doing rounds in the airwaves and online favors and the music video such an intriguing visual fare that you cannot help but promise yourself to check out the nearest music store to privately experience him. The song’s premise is age-old, here’s this guy romanticizing the arrival of a girl in his life who he realizes to be the perfect one to make his life heaven on heart. But, its melodic strains is a refreshing take on the usual lovesong formula we are all used to. Kris’ unpredictable slide up to almost [?] four octaves after the initial intro is a welcome musical innovation quite rare in this time and age. Although he maintains his ‘Debarge-sound-alike’ tone, he has succeeded in creating a momentary capsule of time and emotion within the more than four minute song in his own signature. The song is also the theme song of a dubbed-Korean telenovela but what the heck, KRIS LAWRENCE swept me out of my feet and will continue to patronize his kind of music that has him soul in it!
