For their performance on the Playlist, alternative neo-soul band Midnight Meetings performs acoustic renditions of their song Sa Aking Pagpikit, and GMA theme song This Time I’m Not Holding Back.
Members Len Calvo, Guada Tagalog, Ashley Gosiengfiao and Ken Estioko admitted to feeling both excitement and nervousness about performing for the Kapuso audience.
“Sobrang saya kasi hindi pa kami nag-a-acoustic ng original song namin [at] nakaka-pressure at the same time,” lead vocalist Ashley said.
They also look forward to hearing how the public will respond to their performances.
“Bihira kami mag-acoustic so this is refreshing for us… Nakaka-excite rin kasi bagong audience so excited kami makarinig ng feedback and hopefully magustuhan nila,” their bassist Guada added.
Midnight Meetings describe their music as a combination of different genres.
“Fusion… Mixture [siya kasi] iba-iba ang influence namin, na kapag sinasama-sama [produces something unique],” keyboardist and back vocalist Len noted.
With that, they hope that their music will be welcomed and enjoyed by wider audiences and that their Playlist performances will help more people appreciate OPM.
“[This is different from what we’ve done in the past kasi] GMA siya eh… Malaki yung following so talagang iba 'yung pressure na nararamdaman namin [kaya we hope they will like it],” guitarist Ken concluded.
