Award-winning Filipino musical director Troy Laureta has released his latest album Dalamhati, which contains fresh covers of OPM classics and contemporary hits and some of his original songs.
The album includes 24 tracks featuring outstanding musical artists from the Philippines and abroad, such as Regine Velasquez ("Huwag Mo Kong Iwan"), Ogie Alcasid ("Pangarap Ko'y Ibigin Ka"), Jed Madela ("The Memory"), Loren Allred and Pia Toscano ("Gusto Ko Nang Bumitaw"), Katharine McPhee-Foster ("Kailan Kaya") and many more.
"Being able to collaborate with amazing artists singing our songs will always be one of my greatest accomplishments," said Laureta.
Dalamhati also serves as the final installment of the "Troy Laureta OPM Collective" album trilogy which began with Kaibigan and Giliw, released in 2020 and 2021, respectively.
In the key track "Akin Ka Na Lang," Laureta introduces a fresh and interesting twist to the famous ballad by teaming up with singer-songwriter and American Idol season 6 winner Jordin Sparks. Laureta also produced the track while Kikx Salazar composed its lyrics.
Prior to the album launch, Laureta dropped his collab with Martin Nievera, "Kay Ganda Ng Ating Musika," which is also part of the album.
Aside from being a musical director, Laureta is also an internationally renowned keyboardist and producer who has worked with numerous artists including Ariana Grande, Deborah Cox, Melanie Fiona, Cheesa, Tommy Page and Iggy Azalea. He was mentored by Canadian musician and composer David Foster and is known for the lush sound and classical influences of his contemporary pop works.
Dalamhati is available now on various music streaming platforms.
