Far
from rehashing the
hugot
formula for her own gains, syd hartha sets a blueprint for young
singer-songwriters to explore deeply personal and socially relevant
themes in the face of troubling times. Her work threads a road less
traveled by peers and contemporaries in the local music scene,
navigating on narratives that are pulled straight from the headlines.
“It
got to the point where I realized it’s time for me to step outside
my comfort zone and make music with more power, something that speaks
to a wider audience and can make an impact,” the eighteen-year-old
folk artist takes a stand. “I’m given the opportunity to share my
music and help raise awareness on important issues affecting the
country. Since then, when something isn’t right or needs to be
addressed, I knew I had to do the best I could about it, and I do it
mostly through my music.”
syd
continues to take charge of her own musical and lyrical direction
with the release of her new single “paruparo” under Sony Music
Philippines. With earthy, stripped-down arrangements that soar toward
a climatic plane, syd sings about how the power of words or even the
absence of it can change situations and affect lives.
“If
everyone is aware of how we could use the freedom of expression that
we all have correctly, conflicts would lessen and understanding each
other would be easier,” says the outspoken singer-songwriter.
“paruparo
is a song to remind everyone to practice being responsible with our
words and considerate of how others could take it. I am a strong
believer that there is always a right time to speak and that some
words are better left unsaid.”
Recorded
and produced by Brian Lotho and Not Vinzons in Sonic State Audio,
“paruparo” features syd hartha on vocals and guitars, Raisa
Racelis on bass, Pat Sarabia on drums, Bea Fabros on guitars, and
Jason Gildore on percussions.
syd
hartha’s brand new single is now available on all streaming and
download platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes, and Deezer.
