His new single is accompanied by a music video starring social media influencer Albert Nicolas and up-and-coming TV/film actress Roxie Smith
Filipino singer-songwriter Jason Marvin is kicking off 2023 with the release of his new single “Oras.” The piano-driven ballad is a nostalgic and emotional journey through time, as the artist reflects on a past romantic relationship and the mistakes he’s made. The song is a reminder that we all make mistakes, but it’s important to learn from them and grow as a person.
According to Jason, “Oras” is the first song where the music video concept came first. The lyrics and the visuals complement each other perfectly as the video conveys the essence of the song in a straightforward and relatable manner. Directed by King Bingcang, the video stars social media influencer Albert Nicolas as a time traveler trying to win back the love of his life, and up-and-coming actress Roxie Smith, who is repeatedly pursued in the story.
“Oras” is written and produced by Jason himself, and co-arranged by Nick Lazaro, a prolific producer who has worked with a diverse range of musicians. The song is characterized by its nostalgic and old-sounding piano, and the addition of drums, bass guitar, and choir voices that make it sound magical.
According to Jason, “I still can’t believe we were able to shoot everything in one day. Everyone was just so light and fun to work with. Albert’s humor made everyone forget that they’re tired, while Miss Roxie’s positive mood from start to finish was very contagious.”
“Oras” is a powerful and emotional ballad that takes listeners on a journey through time, reminding us that we all make mistakes, but it’s important to learn from them and grow as a person. With its nostalgic sound, relatable lyrics, and the beautiful music video, “Oras” is an instant classic that will resonate with listeners of all ages.
