Unique Salonga receives praise from Chynna Ortaleza for being a good lyricist.
Singer-songwriter Unique Salonga is back with another self-made album titled “Pangalan.”
The former IV of Spades lead vocalist dropped the new album on the midnight of March 27, which includes tracks “Korporasyon,” “Dambuhala,” “Bukod-tangi,” “Lamang Lupa,” “Delubyo,” “Mga Katulad Mo,” “Pahinga,” at “Huwag Ka Sanang Magalit.”
Once more, the 19-year-old excellently showcased his strength as a lyricist and his growing interest in sonic experimentation in this sophomore album.
In one of his attempts to expand the popularity of “Pangalan,” Unique posted the lyrics of the aforementioned tracks on his Instagram account.
Due to its uniqueness and sharpness, even celebrities like Kapuso actress Chynna Ortaleza has approved of his skills as a musician.
But the most-raved about on social media is the five-minute “Delubyo” which sits at the center of “Pangalan.”
Many have claimed that it is one of the weirdest things to be put out by a popular musician in recent memory.
This long song is a compilation of different sounds including people laughing, a woman screaming, utensils splattering and even a pastor's sermon. This strange combination created a dark, disturbing and creepy ambiance.
With its grim message, #Delubyo became one of the most talked-about on Twitter as netizens shared their feedback on the somehow eerie song.
