Garrett Bolden drops performance video of latest single 'Kung Malaya Lang Ako'
Garrett Bolden gives a fresh take on Kris Lawrence's classic song "Kung Malaya Lang Ako."
Garrett Bolden has once again proved that he is the Kapuso Soul Balladeer with his heart-melting revival of the hit classic song "Kung Malaya Lang Ako," composed by multi-awarded songwriter Vehnee Saturno and originally performed by Kris Lawrence.
"Kung Malaya Lang Ako" is Garrett's sixth single under GMA Music and his first comeback since the release of his debut album, Chapters, last January. It is also the second time the Kapuso singer released a revival, following his previous single "Ikaw Pala."
"To be honest po medyo kinabahan ako kasi alam ko po na 'yung title pa lang ng kanta ni Sir Kris Lawrence... 'Kung Malaya Lang Ako' at saka 'yung una kong single before that 'yung 'Ikaw Pala,' talagang tatak Kris Lawrence po iyon," Garrett shared in an interview with GMANetwork.com.
He continued, "Nung time na naibigay sa akin to revive sabi ko paano ko kakantahin ito? Paano ko siya gagawin na magiging akin? Pero after a while po na nag-usap kami ng GMA Music biglang nag-come up po ako sa ideya, 'Why don't I pay tribute sa mga amazing songs na ito ni Sir Kris Lawrence?' So itong 'Kung Malaya Lang Ako' when it was given to me mas napuno po ako ng excitement to give my own take to this song pero at the same time to pay tribute kay Sir Kris Lawrence.
"If mapapakinggan n'yo po itong song, 'yung pagkagawa po nitong 'Kung Malaya Lang Ako' medyo pinattern ko po siya sa tinatawag po natin ngayon na 'new sound' na naririnig natin sa TikTok, 'yung songs na bagong tunog, kumbaga. Pero at the same time po, I made sure na hindi mawawala 'yung elemento na kung ano 'yung tunog nu'ng Kris Lawrence siya before. Kumbaga, nadagdagan ko lang po ito ng kaunting bagong tunog."
"Kung Malaya Lang Ako" is now available for streaming and download on digital music platforms worldwide.
