Basically PauAu: It's Alright, It's oh- K!

Disclaimer: I know, I know. It's little too late for this but I've been having fun doing this blogging thing. ;)

Okay, I don't know why but lately I've been having the feels of covering events. Not exactly just attend them and take videos and pictures, but actually write or rather type about them. I guess this is my journalism elective vibes kicking in.

It's a little bit late, no, scratch that. It's really late. 2 months late to be exact. But like what they say, better late than never.

The day was November 16, 2013. Venue, Glorietta 5.

So I dragged my mom and my little sister to Glorietta on a very nice Saturday morning to go around and shop. Yes, that is the ultimate distraction for them to not realize that we are at the mall at 10 am when what I really came for was happening at 5 pm. Thankfully, my mom is very supportive, and she has already accepted the fact that her daughters are crazy fan girls.

You might be wondering, what event I went to. If you know me, you'd have the answer by now. Yes, it's something Karylle related. ;) It's actually the launch of her 5th album since 2011. Finally, the looong wait is over.

My friends like to question my preference of buying CDs because apparently I'm the only teenager who still does. (NOT!)

Fast forward to the album launch.

This new album is entitled "K" and it has seven new tracks, including the song 'Sa'yo Na Lang Ako' from the 2013 Philpop competition, which Karylle interpreted. Also included is the track, 'In My Own Little Corner' from the musical Cinderella where she plays the lead.

While waiting for the show to start, I got interviewed by MYX. (and the video of this interview will be forever lost, unless someone links it to me )

Don't I look good holding this mic?

Karylle started her set with one of my favorite songs of her's, 'I'll Never Get Over You (Getting Over Me)'. I've always loved her version more.

Next, she chatted about her Fliptop artist dreams with one of her collaborators in the album, Dash Calzado. I love their song 'Bad Boys'. It's actually my favorite in this album. It's so different from the usual genre she sings and it's a good change since it shows how versatile she can be.

One of my favorite parts about live performances are the chats in between. I think this is the part where the audience gets to know the artist they're watching. Also, it's shows how witty and smart the person on stage is.

Love this shot!

One of the songs she performed is 'Sa'yo Na Lang Ako', which was included on the top 5 of the 2013 Philpop competition. I like the story of this song and it's really a big bonus how Karylle sings it. This song is even greater, LIVE!!

This is the perfect "WHAT IF" song. It could be the perfect alternate for "The One That Got Away" by Katy Perry. AND HAVE I MENTIONED IT'S REALLY GREAT LIVE? =))

Moving on to the next song. Basically. This is my favorite Karylle song EVER and if you scroll down a little on my blog, you'd read my rant on how this is my calming song during exam weeks or a big quiz day. I even made a cover of it which got tons of listens already and even Karylle, herself, retweeted my shameless plug on Twitter. Someday, I'd sing this with her. Someday.

'Kiss You', is this album's first single. It has a very catchy tune and very catchy lyrics. I like playing this at 6 in the morning while I get ready for school, not caring who I wake up. At least they wake up to a good song. It's that catchy that I've caught my dad dancing to this on video which I'd rather not post here since he might see it and disown me but feel free to check my Instagram. (Nobody tell him about that.)

To end her set, she performed the crowd favorite, her danceable hit OMG which is part of her 2011 Roadtrip album. This is also one of the songs that got me hooked on that particular album which didn't leave the player for months. There is also a creative music video that goes along with the song (google it). This is also one of the songs you should watch live together with it's trademark dance.

Here comes the big finale.

Okay, I'll be honest. I envy the kid at 3:45. Hahahaha.

After her long set, she spent time entertaining her audience by having a meet and greet. I had the chance to get my cd signed and chat with her a little.
