The CompanY once again proves its musical versatility in its new album \u201cGitna<\/a>,\u201d a collection of multi-genre songs that tackle different themes of love and highlight the group\u2019s amazing vocal harmony. <\/p>\n

With its exploration of pop, jazz, electronica, dance, and acoustic folk, The CompanY\u2019s 29th studio album\u2014its first under ABS-CBN\u2019s Star Music\u2014delves into the length and breadth of vocal harmony in modern music styles showcased by equally talented members Annie Quintos, OJ Mariano, Moy Ortiz, and Sweet Plantado.<\/p>\n

Its title \u201cGitna\u201d also serves as the album\u2019s key track and references the group\u2019s core and centeredness amidst the changing tides and disruptions in music and contemporary living.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

During the album\u2019s virtual launch, Sweet said they chose \u201cGitna\u201d as the key track for its uniqueness. \u201cWe chose a lot of songs from Star Music\u2019s catalogue but we decided to zoom in on this because it\u2019s not the usual love story and the way it combines the lyrics and melody is different. Moy also had this idea to make it a duet so when he gave it to me and OJ, it brought a different color to the song.\u201d<\/p>\n

Aside from \u201cGitna\u201d which was composed by Davey Langit, the 10-track album consists of previously released tracks \u201cSumakabilang Puso,\u201d \u201c\u2018Sang Tawag Mo Lang,\u201d \u201cDisco Plantito, Disco Plantita,\u201d \u201cSa May Bintana,\u201d and \u201cWalang Sayang.\u201d Also part of the album are \u201cKumusta Ka\u201d written by Rey Valera, \u201cHideaway\u201d composed by Maestro Ryan Cayabyab, \u201cSukob Na\u201d penned by Mortiz Edgar Frasco and Flores Alexeeb, and \u201cAmbon\u201d written by Nica Del Rosario.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Since The CompanY is composed of multi-talented members, Moy also served as the vocal arranger for all the songs and likewise co-produced some tracks in the album. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Asked about the challenges of making the album that features both seasoned and younger songwriters, Moy said, \u201cThe challenge was with the songs of the new generation songwriters, the way they compose music now is not so much formulaic\u2014you can\u2019t predict where the structure and melody of the song will go, and this is evident in \u2018Gitna.\u2019”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, an accompanying mini documentary<\/a> on the making of the album has also been released on YouTube.<\/p>\n

Formed in July 1985 by the alumni of the Ateneo College Glee Club, The CompanY initially performed as back-up vocalists for the pop stars of the \u201880s before becoming professional recording artists. Now dubbed as Asia\u2019s premiere vocal harmony act, it is the most awarded vocal recording group in the Philippines who have shared the stage with the likes of The Manhattan Transfer, Jim Brickman, Michael Buble, Noel Pointer, John Ford Coley, and many more.<\/p>\n
