What’s with today’s song titles, so unique and so different sounding from those from yesteryear?

Consider:  Maymay’s “Autodeadma” and “Tsada Mahigugma,” Vice Ganda’s “Rampa,” Belle Mariano’s “Bugambilya,” Kim Chiu’s “Ms. Ukay.”

How far different are they---musically--- from the songs of a certain age, the likes of Ngayon at Kailanman, Till I Met You, Kahit Konting Pagtingin!

Remix versions of Rampa and those other songs have been compiled by ABS-CBN’s record label StarPop which recently  dropped the second volume of “StarPop: The Remixes.”

The album reintroduces previously released singles in a refreshing sound remix.

Included among the 11 tracks in the album are KD Estrada’s “Days” and Anji Salvacion’s “Paraiso.”

The first volume of “StarPop: The Remixes,”  released in  2022, also featured hits from Kapamilya artists.

Check out “StarPop: The Remixes Volume 2” available on various streaming platforms.
