The process of recording an album seems like a long journey. But once an artist gets into the groove of things, it becomes a spontaneous affair that makes for awesome songs. The ever-creative hitmaker Barbie Almalbis is finally releasing her fourth studio album, Scenes From Inside this Friday, July 16 via 12 Stone Records and Sony Music Philippines.
Well known for her trademark pop-rock style with hits of melody incorporated into the mix, the 9-track release is a testament to her consistent and unwavering vision- this time with newfound drive and inspiration.
“Recording is truly one of my favorite parts about being a musician, but working on everything in one go also often made me feel burned out, and it would take some time to get recharged,” Almalbis shares in a statement. “For Scenes From Inside, we got to focus on just a couple of songs at time, releasing singles instead of an album, allowing us to work at a more relaxed pace, and before we knew it, the album was done! This new process has made this album the easiest one to finish.”
Scenes From Inside is also the album that sees Barbie Almalbis at her most collaborative, welcoming a nice set of songwriters that share her passion. This includes real-life partner Martin Honasan, aunt Alya Honasan, friend Michelle Rivera, and more.
