Smoothly uniting Jazz, Soul and subtle Funk, the guitar-led embrace of AKO AT IKAW MAGPAKAILANMAN marks a defiant first single from musician Jesse Posis.
Featuring a pure and uplifting unity of unplugged and lightly amplified elements, the hand rhythms and hopeful core of the single, as well as the softly rising passion of the vocal performance, all makes for an intoxicating and impressively live-sounding experience – something that would no doubt translate beautifully in the stage setting.
Emerging as a collaborative piece alongside guitarist Jose Tabios, the full-band feel of AKO AT IKAW MAGPAKAILANMAN is humble but effective in taking listeners to some new plain of escapism and simple calm. The title translates to You and Me Forever, and the emotion and positivity of the whole set-up and delivery more than meets the romanticised energy of that conceptual intention.
Born and raised in the Philippines, Jesse Posis now resides in Dubai, and brings to modern music a unique level of cultural and stylistic variety. His debut single depicts a clear passion for the escapism and rhythm of music, presenting a colourful guitar arrangement and equally optimistic vocals in keeping with an organic and familiar overall groove.
