Bugoy Drilon is the second studio album by Filipino singer Bugoy Drilon, released in 2010 through Star Records.[1] A self-titled follow-up to his 2008 debut Paano Na Kaya?, it was produced by veteran composer Vehnee Saturno and consists largely of Tagalog-language pop ballads, several of them re-recordings of earlier OPM hits. The album's carrier single, "Hindi Na Bale", is a revival of a song first recorded by Jessa Zaragoza. It received heavy radio airplay and was used as a love theme on the ABS-CBN drama series Tanging Yaman.[2]
Background
Drilon finished as first runner-up or Second Star Dreamer on the second season of the reality singing competition Pinoy Dream Academy and signed with Star Records shortly afterward.[3] His debut album, Paano Na Kaya? (2008), produced several radio hits, and its title track was later adopted as the theme song of the Star Cinema film Paano na Kaya (2010),[4] starring Kim Chiu and Gerald Anderson — a revival of public interest that coincided with the release of Drilon's follow-up.[5] Building on that momentum, Star Records released Drilon's second, self-titled studio album in 2010, with the label choosing the final track listing.
Composition
Drilon described the album as more sentimental than his debut, consisting almost entirely of melancholic love songs. Of its seven vocal tracks, three are cover recordings promoted as "revivals" of earlier OPM ballads, namely: the carrier single "Hindi Na Bale",[6] originally recorded by Jessa Zaragoza; "Dahil Tanging Ikaw", earlier recorded by Jaya;[7] and "Lumayo Ka Man Sa Akin", earlier recorded by Rodel Naval.[8] The remaining three songs — "Ikaw Ang Mamahalin", "Pagkat Mahal Kita", and "Sana'y Ibigin Mo" are original compositions. The album closes with a bonus track reprising "Paano Na Kaya?", the title song of Drilon's debut album and its 2010 film adaptation. The commercial CD release additionally included instrumental "minus one" versions of six of the seven songs.[9]
Release and promotion
Drilon and Star Records held a press conference for the album on March 10, 2010 at Proud Mary restaurant, near the ABS-CBN compound in Quezon City.[10] By that point, "Hindi Na Bale" was already receiving substantial radio airplay and had reached number one on several radio countdowns. Multiple songs from the album were subsequently licensed to ABS-CBN drama programming: "Hindi Na Bale" served as a love theme on Tanging Yaman (2010), "Pagkat Mahal Kita" was used on Kung Tayo'y Magkakalayo, and another track was featured in "Love Me, Love You", an episode of the anthology series Your Song starring Pokwang.[9]
Drilon formally launched the album with a performance on the ABS-CBN musical variety show ASAP on April 4, 2010, and promoted it through a series of mall shows and radio events, including a radio-station event in Cavite on March 27, a mall show at SM Marilao on April 11, and another at Bagaberde on May 1, 2010.[9]
