In the heart of the Philippine music industry, we’re witnessing an unforgettable event: Christian Bautista marking his impressive 20-year journey. Universal Records commemorates the milestone by releasing an exceptional tribute album, “The Way You Look At Me: The Songs Of Christian Bautista,” as a token of respect to Asia’s Romantic Balladeer.
This 2023 musical masterpiece showcases the breathtaking talent of OPM artists including Ben&Ben, Julie Anne San Jose & Rayver Cruz, I Belong To The Zoo, Morissette, KZ Tandingan, Sam Concepcion, Zephanie, and Kyle Juliano. Each of these artists has reimagined Bautista’s songs in their unique styles, bringing new life to these timeless hits.
The album’s musical journey began with IBTTZ’s rendition of “Hands To Heaven” in October 2022, followed closely by Mori’s enchanting version of “Colour Everywhere.”
To further amplify the excitement surrounding this milestone, Universal Records unveiled a two-episode mini-series, “Pag-ibig Na Kaya: The Mini-series,” starring Julie Anne and Rayver. The series was strategically launched to promote their own interpretation of Bautista’s hit song. Further creating buzz was the release of Ben&Ben’s music video for “The Way You Look At Me,” featuring the popular BarDa love team, which immediately caught the attention of online audiences.
Bautista expressed his heartfelt gratitude towards the involved artists and Universal Records. He expressed, “I am thankful and grateful for these wonderful artists and friends who did amazing renditions of songs that I have released through the years. Thank you for your generosity and artistry.” He further acknowledged Universal Records for this “monumental” project, describing it as “truly one of a kind.”
