Emerging singer-songwriter CESCA weaves an enchanting narrative of a mythical love affair between the moon and the sea in her latest album release, titled “Balse ng Gabi.”
The album, a fusion of folk and pop influences, boasts an impressive collection of eight tracks, each crafted by the talented CESCA herself and masterfully produced by Roque “Rox” Santos, the creative mind behind Star Pop label.
Intriguingly, CESCA has ingeniously chosen to present the stories from the vantage point of the sea, inviting listeners into a world of young romance, playful whispers, graceful waltzes, unspoken confidences, heart-wrenching betrayals, solitary reflections, and eventual reconciliations, all culminating in an indescribable form of affection. With a heartfelt resonance, she explains, “This is an offering to those who hold an affinity for tales spun in the threads of tradition.”
The centerpiece of the album is the titular track, “Balse ng Gabi,” which features a collaborative effort between CESCA and fellow Kapamilya artist Maki. This captivating love ballad portrays the courageous devotion that perseveres despite life’s uncertainties. CESCA delves into the core of the composition, sharing that the song embodies the essence of love as an amalgamation of trust, steadfastness, empathy, and adaptability. Despite the challenges they face, their love remains unwavering.
Among the array of musical gems, listeners can also delight in tracks such as “Pamahiin,” “Sabi-sabi,” “Himig ni Isa,” “Pakiusap,” “Sigpit,” “Tahan Na,” and “Buti Na Lang,” each a unique facet of CESCA’s artistry.
CESCA has effortlessly captured the essence of her generation’s emotional landscape, effortlessly blending Tagalog and English lyrics to create a tapestry of mature sentiments. Debuting with the poignant single “Lovesick (Pagmahalasakit)” last year, she quickly rose to prominence, gracing the cover of Spotify’s Fresh Finds Philippines and earning a coveted spot on OPM Rising. Her composition “Kung Makakapili Lang” was also adopted as one of the theme songs for “Dirty Linen.” Beyond her musical pursuits, CESCA, a visual and multimedia artist, introduced her “Travel” EP to the world earlier this year.
